Lance McCullers Jr. Dealing With Arm Soreness
2 years agoHouston Astros manager Dusty Baker said that starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (arm) experienced some arm soreness in camp, but the skipper didn't specify what kind of soreness exactly after McCullers threw a bullpen session on Tuesday. Baker isn't very concerned. It sounds as if the 29-year-old right-hander is dealing with the same forearm injury that he dealt with in 2022, which kept him from making his season debut until Aug. 13. But he was very good in his return in the second half, easing concerns about the forearm injury. Injuries are the biggest concern with McCullers -- he's never gone over 162 innings pitched in a single season -- but he's very intriguing for fantasy managers when he's healthy for the defending World Series champs. We'll keep a close eye on his arm this spring.
