The Houston Astros are putting Lance McCullers Jr. on the Injured List, but that’s not all that’s happening.

After a particularly difficult 9-2 loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday, the Houston Astros have made a flurry of roster moves ahead of Wednesday’s series finale. The most notable is that Lance McCullers Jr. is headed to the 10-day Injured List with right shoulder soreness.
