Lyou Astros to start road to World Series without one of its pitchers Lance McCullers Jr, who failed to recover from his injury on the forearm that took him away from the Championship Series against the Red Sox.
McCullers suffered an injury in Game 4 from the divisional series against the White Sox, hoping to have a recovery in time to be in the World Series, but doctors reported that needed 6 to 8 weeks before re-launching.
This would cause the title fight to be lost and he would start his rehab to return to spring training to rejoin the team.
The Astros chose Framber Valdez for Game 1 as a starter and now they are in doubt if outfielder Jake Meyers will be able to play after a left shoulder injury he sustained in the first postseason round, Both teams must submit their rosters before Game 1.
