Houston's Lance McCullers (forearm) out for remainder of season after surgery

Houston Astros pitcher Lance McCullers (forearm) underwent forearm surgery to remove a bone spur on Tuesday.

What It Means:

McCullers will not pitch this season after he was forced to undergo surgery. Expect J.P. France to remain in Houston's rotation until Jose Urquidy is ready to return.

In 40.2 inning this season, France has produced a 4.41 expected Fielding Independent Pitching rating and a 20.5% K-rate.
