Lance McCullers Jr. is set to make his first MLB appearance since the 2022 World Series as he starts for the Houston Astros against the White Sox. After undergoing surgery on his right flexor tendon in June 2023, McCullers faced setbacks but has shown promising form in recent rehab starts, striking out seven in five innings. Astros manager Joe Espada expressed excitement about McCullers' return, emphasizing the hard work he has put in. McCullers reflected on his journey, comparing his upcoming start to a debut due to the long recovery.
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.
