McCullers last pitched in the ALDS against the Chicago White Sox, starting Games 1 and 4. The former All-Star pitched 10.2 innings across those two starts, allowing one earned run on nine hits with nine strikeouts and three walks. Those innings were in addition to the 162.1 McCullers hurled throughout the regular season, finishing with the second-most innings on the Astros.
Frambez Valdez, Luis Garcia, Jose Urquidy, and Zack Greinke started in the ALCS and remain on the Astros World Series roster.
