Lance McCullers Jr. has been unable to pitch all season due to some lingering arm issues that date back to the 2021 playoffs. McCullers was able to pitch 8 games in the regular season last year, and made 3 starts in the playoffs. Which helped the Astros win their second World Series.
During Spring Training, McCullers was shutdown with forearm discomfort and has been attempting to come back from the injury. Unfortunately, McCullers experienced some setbacks, and now the team has announced he will miss the remainder of the 2023 season.
McCullers has undergone surgery this week to repair his right flexor tendon and remove a bone spur, the team announced Wednesday.

When looking at the positives, Lance has avoided a second Tommy John surgery and the team expects him to return in 2024. Hopefully, the Astros can continue to pitch well in his absence. Houston has the best team ERA in baseball currently.
Be sure to check out the reaction to the news from ESPN Houston's The Wheelhouse.
The Houston Texans came into this draft with many anticipating they would trade up to address their need on the offensive line. Instead, the Texans elected to trade back to pick No. 34 after agreeing to a deal with the Giants.
The Texans also receive pick number 99, and a 2026 third-round selection.

When Ohio State's offensive lineman Donovan Jackson and Texas receiver Matthew Golden went off the board right in front of them, the Texans decided to go with a contingency plan, it seems.
We'll have to wait until Friday night to see what the Texans do with their picks.
