The Astros have placed Lance McCullers on the DL with back discomfort. McCullers says in the video that he was trying to pitch through the issue while the Astros were down McHugh and Keuchel, and now he thinks it’s a good time for him to address the injury. The goal is to take more time with the injury and make sure he is ready to finish the season strong. McCullers said he felt fine when he returned from the DL originally, but the injury crept up again after a few starts. Video courtesy of Brian McTaggart.
