Reports: Brewers trade for Astros pitchers Lance McCullers Jr., Colton Gordon
- On Wednesday, the Milwaukee Brewers finalized a trade to acquire right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. from the Houston Astros, with left-hander Colton Gordon also moving to Milwaukee in the deal.
- Milwaukee's starting rotation recently suffered injuries to Brandon Woodruff and Kyle Harrison, creating urgent depth needs; McCullers has been on the injured list since May 21 with right shoulder inflammation.
- In the final year of his $85 million contract, McCullers earns $17 million this season; the Astros are reportedly paying down a portion of his remaining salary. He won World Series titles in 2017 and 2022.
- Currently on a minor league rehab assignment, the right-hander made his most recent start on July 7 for the Triple-A Sugar Land Space Cowboys and could return to the majors soon, barring setbacks.
- The Brewers hope to replicate recent successes with pitchers like Quinn Priester and Harrison, who thrived after joining the team; if healthy, McCullers could provide veteran depth for a potential playoff push.
