Lance McCullers Jr. is set to start for the Houston Astros against the Chicago White Sox, marking his return to the major leagues after significant recovery from surgery. Having undergone surgery on June 13, 2023, to repair a flexor tendon and remove a bone spur, McCullers has completed a successful rehab with solid minor league outings. Both Astros manager Joe Espada and McCullers expressed excitement about this pivotal moment in his career, reflecting on the challenges he's overcome since his debut in 2015.
I'm really excited to have him on the mound on Sunday. He's worked his tail off to get back to this point, and this whole entire team and this city should be excited to get Lance back.
Been waiting for it for a long time. Almost feel like I'm making my debut in some aspects, but it's been a really long road for me.
