Lance McCullers Jr. Throws Bullpen Tuesday
2 years agoHouston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) said he threw 25 pitches during a bullpen session on Tuesday, reaching 91.6 mph with his fastball. He will start mixing in breaking pitches in his next bullpen, which will likely come Saturday in Chicago. After that, he will have a normal spring training build-up from there. The oft-injured 29-year-old is getting closer to making his 2023 debut, but he's not out of the woods yet and will need a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment before he can help out fantasy managers. Barring setbacks along the way, there's a chance that McCullers will rejoin Houston's starting rotation in early June. If he's available on your league's waiver wire, now is the time to start thinking about stashing him.
