Will Kunkel, sports director at FOX 26 Houston, joins Next Up to discuss Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr., who suffered a setback in his injury rehab.
Manager Joe Espada confirmed the news that McCullers is being shut down after his arm wasn't responding well between bullpen sessions.
The 30-year-old has not pitched since the 2022 World Series and was been working his way back from a June 2023 surgery to repair his flexor tendon.
Kunkel breaks down his latest sit-down interview with McCullers, who opened up about his challenging journey to return to the mound.
