| 7/16/25 | Lance McCullers Jr. Will Be Elite for Astros if He Can Figure This One Thing Out. One of the feel-good stories of the 2025 campaign for the Houston Astros thus far has been the return of starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. Before making his season debut on May 4 against the Chicago White Sox, the last time McCullers took the mound for an MLB game was in the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies in 2022. Multiple injuries and setbacks cost him the following two campaigns, but he worked tirelessly to put himself in a position to return to the Astros this season. Houston is fortunate he has been able to pitch regularly -- outside of a stint on the injured list that cost him just over two weeks in June -- because their staff has been ravaged by injuries.

| 7/12/25 | Astros Franchise Legend Has Become Liability Since Return From Recent Injury. One of the best feel-good stories of the 2025 MLB campaign thus far was the return of Houston Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. to the mound back in May. The now-31-year-old didn't get off to the best start, but quickly settled in to become the reliable arm the Astros had long known him to be. McCullers eventually recovered and was looking to pick right back up where he left off following his reinstatement on June 28. Unfortunately for both him and Houston, though, that hasn't been the case. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/astros/news/astros-franchis... |
