Lance McCullers Jr. Placed on the Injured List
Lance McCullers Jr. (finger) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. McCullers has been crushed for nine earned runs over his last two outings. Possibly, the blister on his finger is part of the reason McCullers is struggling right now. He'll now get a few weeks off, but figures to rejoin the rotation in early August. In a corresponding move, right-hander Nick Hernandez has been recalled to take the spot on the active roster. The Astros haven't announced who is going to take the vacant spot in the rotation.
