HOUSTON -- The Houston Astros aren't counting out Lance McCullers Jr. for the ALCS just yet, but the his status for the series is in doubt after the right-hander underwent an MRI on his pitching arm.
"He's still being examined," Astros general manager James Click said Thursday, one day before Houston hosts the Boston Red Sox in Game 1. "Just going to keep looking at him, see how he is."
McCullers left Game 4 of the ALDS against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday with forearm tightness, but didn't think the injury was serious at the time.
