The Houston Astros have scratched Lance McCullers Jr. from a scheduled start against the Athletics, placing him on the 15-day injured list due to a right foot sprain. This setback comes shortly after McCullers made his return from a long recovery following hip surgery. In his seven starts this season, he has posted a 4.91 ERA and has been a vital yet inconsistent part of a rotation already plagued with injuries, as multiple starters are sidelined due to various ailments including Tommy John surgery. Jason Alexander has been recalled to take his place.
