Aches, Pains and Muscle Strains 2026

McCullers scratched from his start tonight. No details yet. Jason Alexander will get the ball.

LMJ to the IL. Right shoulder inflammation.

If there was ever a time to throw up your hands and yell “Serenity now!”, it’s now, no matter how cliche.

Great. I assumed that his finger had fallen off.

Frankly, I’m shocked LMJ made it this long. Hell, he made it almost to Memorial Day.

Lance going on the IL can’t really be included on the injury tally.

It’s like the standard deduction on a 1040.

These 2026 injuries have been taxing for sure.

Are you saying that once a player leaves Houston to one of these “IR” things, they can… return…?

No idea if they’ll be able to get the game in tonight or not, but if they do play, the Sugar Land Space Cowboys (who are going by the moniker Payasos Del Rodeo tonight for some reason) will have Hader and Loperfido in uniform for rehab assignments. AND it’s dollar dog night. AND you can get in for free if you bring something to give away to Goodwill. AND you can bring your dog to the game. FYI if interested.

Good news: Trammell in tonight’s lineup.

Bad news: he’s hitting cleanup.
