Lance McCullers Jr. Throws Off Flat Ground Tuesday
2 years agoHouston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) threw off flat ground on Tuesday, and according to manager Dusty Baker, the righty "felt great." The 29-year-old has been sidelined for the whole 2023 season thus far after straining his forearm in February. McCullers Jr. is ahead of schedule in his recovery but is still a few steps away from returning, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see him with the Astros for another few weeks at the earliest. In 2022, he pitched to a 2.27 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 25.6% strikeout rate with four wins across just eight starts. When McCullers Jr. is fully healthy, he can provide value in every category.
