Pitcher Notes

Team Notes
White Sox The left-hander pitched the first seven years of his career for the Astros but will be making his first start as a visitor at Minute Maid Park. Lance McCullers Jr., whom Keuchel referred to as being like his son, starts for Houston.
Astros McCullers was on a pitch count in his start vs. Texas on Tuesday, his first since returning from the IL with shoulder soreness. He yielded an earned run over 4 1/3 innings, using only a fastball-changeup combination in the first three innings.
