HOUSTON The Astros are hopeful right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. will miss only one start after he was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with right shoulder soreness. The move is retroactive to Saturday, meaning McCullers will be eligible to come off the IL on June 2.
“We’re erring on the side of caution with going from 60 games to 162,” general manager James Click said. “We felt it was better to let him skip a start. … We’ll reassess in a day or two and see where he’s at. At this point of the season, these guys have pitched almost as long as they did all of last year. We’re very cognizant of the workload and making sure we manage it and err on the side of caution.”
