One of the Red Sox’ biggest obstacles to making the team’s second World Series in four years might not be on the field in the ALCS.
MLB Network insider Jon Heyman reported Thursday Houston Astros ace Lance McCullers Jr. is in danger of missing the American League’s championship series with an injury to his throwing arm.
McCullers left his last start in Game 4 of the ALDS against the Chicago White Sox with forearm tightness after just four innings of work. Though he only gave up one run in the contest, he threw 73 pitches in the contest after shutting down the White Sox through 6 2/3 innings in Game 1 of the series.
