Arrieta didn't factor into the decision after surrendering five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over three innings Sunday against the Giants. After the game, the right-hander was unsure if he'd continue pitching through a bone spur in his right elbow, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arrieta didn't look comfortable on the hill Sunday evening, and he was pulled after firing 66 pitches. He stated after the game that he "doesn't want to make a decision" just yet, though he'll take advantage of Monday's off day and then discuss his options with the team Tuesday.

Arrieta didn't factor into the decision against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, giving up two earned runs on five hits over five innings, striking out five and walking two as the Phillies eventually fell 8-4.

EDGE Analysis

It was a solid outing for the veteran, but it wasn't enough to earn him his ninth win of the season, as his bullpen wound up getting tagged for six runs following his departure from the contest after five innings and 80 pitches. Arrieta is posting lackluster numbers overall in 2019, as he's sporting a 4.41 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP through 132.2 innings on the season.

Arrieta (elbow) is listed as the Phillies' scheduled starter for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Arrieta continues to pitch through a bone spur in his right elbow, which has played a part in him failing to reach six innings in each of his past five starts. While he acknowledged that he was "in a pretty tough spot" with his elbow following his most recent start Aug. 1 against the Giants that resulted in him being pulled after just 71 pitches, he apparently feels well enough to make his next turn on normal rest. Arrieta could again be at risk of being pulled early should he run into any complications during Tuesday's outing.

Arrieta said his elbow was "in a pretty tough spot" during Thursday's game against the Giants, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. He lasted just four innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out five in a no-decision.

EDGE Analysis

Arrieta has been pitching through a bone spur in his elbow, and the issue was clearly bothering him Thursday, as he was removed after tossing just 71 pitches (46 strikes). The veteran right-hander still believes he'll be able to manage the issue enough to keep making regular starts, though it could affect his performance and/or ability to work deep into games.

Arrieta (8-8) took the loss after yielding five runs (four earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings Friday night against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Arrieta surrendered a run in the first inning, and the Braves poured on four more runs in the fifth before chasing the right-hander from the ballgame. The 33-year-old had allowed just two earned runs over his last two outings entering the day (10.2 innings), but he'll go back to the drawing board after getting knocked around Friday evening. Arrieta owns a 4.51 ERA and 1.46 WHIP with a 95:47 K:BB over 123.2 innings this season.

Arrieta allowed one run on six hits with two walks and four strikeouts across 5.2 innings during a no-decision against the Pirates on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander only threw 87 pitches, but he departed with the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth. Juan Nicasio shut the door in that frame, and the Phillies then cruised to a 6-1 win. If Arrieta had recorded one more out, he would have been in line for the win. Still, owners have to be pleased this start was another step in the right direction. Arrieta is 8-7 with a 4.40 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, .280 batting average and 91 strikeouts in 118.2 innings this season. He will make his next start Friday at home against the Braves.

Arrieta yielded one run on four hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings Sunday in a no-decision against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Arrieta breezed through the first three innings before allowing his one run of the day in the fourth on a single to right field. The right-hander is still battling through a bone spur, though he continues to attempt to play through the pain, and he saw solid results in Sunday's series finale. Arrieta will head into his next outing with a 4.54 ERA and 87 strikeouts over 113 innings this season.

Arrieta (elbow) has been confirmed as the starter for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

An x-ray taken Friday also confirmed the diagnosis of a bone spur in in Arrieta's right elbow, but he'll continue with his plan to play through the pain. He hasn't pitched effectively of late, recording a 7.71 ERA and 1.90 WHIP over his last three starts, so the Phillies could quickly pull the plug if Arrieta remains ineffective.

Arrieta (elbow) is still scheduled to pitch this Sunday against the Nationals, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was revealed following Arrieta's previous start that the veteran has been dealing with a bone spur in his elbow, potentially explaining his recent downturn in performance. He appears to be following through on his plan to wait until the offseason to undergo surgery, though that could always change if his effectiveness continues to slide.

Arrieta has been pitching with a bone spur in his right elbow and will likely require surgery at some point to address the matter, a source informed Ken Rosenthal and Matt Gelb of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Arrieta hinted after his start in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Mets that he might not be completely healthy, though he didn't elaborate on the nature or extent of his physical issues. The report from Rosenthal and Gelb offers more clarity on that front while also creating more concern about Arrieta's outlook for the second half even if he forgoes surgery until the offseason, which is what Arrieta is tentatively planning to do, per Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Arrieta owns a 6.63 ERA over his last seven outings and was uncharacteristically wild while surrendering six runs (five earned) in 4.1 innings Saturday, as he hit three batters to match his total from his prior 17 outings combined. The right-hander previously required season-ending surgery to address a bone spur back in 2011 as a member of the Orioles.
