Logs sim game McCullers pitched three innings of a simulated game Saturday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. Impact McCullers, who missed all of 2019 due to recovery from Tommy John elbow surgery, reported to spring training healthy and ready. He made three Grapefruit League starts before the coronavirus pandemic halted his comeback. Saturday was his first action in game-like conditions since summer camp started. "He was pretty sharp," Houston manager Dusty Baker said. "The other day, he didn't have the command that he had today. He had a good changeup, he had a good breaking ball and his two-seamer and four-seamer were looking pretty good." The Astros are hoping McCullers can make up for the loss of Gerrit Cole, the team's No. 2 starter last season who bolted to the Yankees as a free agent over the winter.
