Astros placed RHP Lance McCullers Jr., retroactive to June 11, on the 15-day injured list with a right foot sprain.
McCullers was supposed to start tonight, and the Astros had never relayed that anything was wrong with him. Ryan Gusto, who was due to start Tuesday, will take his place and start on four days’ rest. The Astros will need someone else to fill in for Gusto tomorrow. It could be Jason Alexander if he’s not needed tonight, or maybe the Astros will bring up A.J. Blubaugh, who would be on four days’ rest.
