Goes five innings in rehab start McCullers (forearm) struck out five over five innings and allowed five runs on seven hits -- including two home runs -- and three walks in his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Suga...
Impact Making what was expected to be the fourth and final start of his minor-league rehab assignment, McCullers probably wasn't as sharp as the Astros envisioned, but he was at least able to get stretched out to five innings and 86 pitches Sunday. Assuming the Astros were satisfied with how McCullers checked out physically following the outing, he should be cleared to come off the 60-day injured list to make his next start with Houston, which is expected to move to a six-man rotation to accommodate him. He tentatively lines up to make his 2022 debut for the big club this weekend against the Athletics at Minute Maid Park.

Fourth rehab start coming Sunday McCullers (forearm) is scheduled to make the fourth start of his rehab assignment Sunday with Triple-A Sugar Land.
Impact In his most recent outing for Sugar Land on Tuesday, McCullers struck out five over 3.1 innings while allowing two runs on three hits and three walks. He built up to 76 pitches in that start, so if he's able to land in the 85-to-90 range Sunday, McCullers could be cleared to come off the 60-day injured list and rejoin the Houston rotation by the end of next week. The Astros already tentatively cleared a spot in their six-man rotation for McCullers by trading Jake Odorizzi to Atlanta on Monday.

Another rehab start Tuesday McCullers (forearm) is scheduled to make his next rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Sugar Land, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact McCullers threw 52 pitches over three innings during Wednesday's rehab outing, and he'll continue building up his workload Tuesday. The 28-year-old is expected to have another rehab appearance the following Sunday if all goes well, which could be the final outing before being inserted into Houston's rotation.

Goes three innings Wednesday McCullers (forearm) made a minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, covering three innings and striking out four while allowing two earned runs on three hits...
Impact After making his first rehab start and 2022 debut with Double-A Corpus Christi on July 22, McCullers returned to the mound on four days' rest to pitch for the Astros' top affiliate. He built up to 52 pitches (30 strikes) in the outing and will likely need to complete at least two more rehab starts before the Astros are comfortable bringing him back from the 60-day injured list. Jake Odorizzi (finger) and Jose Urquidy would seemingly be most at risk of losing their spots in Houston's six-man rotation once McCullers is activated, and a trade to clear a spot for the 28-year-old wouldn't come as a surprise.

Making second rehab start McCullers (forearm) will report to Triple-A Sugar Land to make a rehab start Tuesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact The right-hander started his rehab assignment Friday with Double-A Corpus Christi, and he threw 40 pitches over two frames in that outing. McCullers will continue to build up his workload Tuesday, and he'll likely require at least two additional rehab starts following that appearance before being cleared for his season debut with the Astros.
