Lance McCullers Jr. Scratched From Tuesday's Start Against Twins
The Houston Astros announced that right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. (undisclosed) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Tuesday in Minnesota against the Twins for undisclosed reasons. Right-hander Jason Alexander will start in his place. Fantasy managers will want to check back later for a reason why McCullers won't make his start at Target Field. The 32-year-old veteran and former first-rounder in 2012 hasn't really been consistent enough to be rostered in mixed fantasy leagues, as he entered the day with a 2-3 record, 6.86 ERA (5.06 FIP), and 1.52 WHIP with 43 strikeouts and 22 walks in 39 1/3 innings pitched across his eight starts in 2026. The oft-injured hurler did bounce back in his last outing on May 13 against the Seattle Mariners, allowing two earned runs while walking two and striking out six in 5 1/3 innings of work, but he's only had quality starts in two of his eight appearances so far this year. McCuller is currently rostered in under 10% of Yahoo leagues.
