US EditionLance McCullers Jr. pitches 3 2/3 scoreless innings for Astros in his first appearance since 2022
- Lance McCullers Jr. Returned to pitch 3 2/3 scoreless innings for the Houston Astros in a game against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday, his first since 2022.
- He returned to pitching after a 30-month absence caused by injury, following surgery in June 2023 to fix a tendon in his right arm and extract a bone spur.
- In the game shortened by rain to seven innings, McCullers allowed three hits and three walks, struck out four, and escaped multiple high-pressure situations including bases loaded in the second inning.
- McCullers said, "I was pretty proud of myself," noted he felt physically strong, and acknowledged the need to control pitch count and get quick outs to improve performance.
- His successful return implies potential to help the Astros again if he recaptures his previous form, though injuries and recovery challenges have made his future contributions uncertain.
