The Houston Astros took two of three games against the Detroit Tigers to begin the week. However, they lost two of three games on the road against the Chicago White Sox, which is a big step backwards.

CHICAGO - In his first major-league start in 915 days, Lance McCullers Jr. pitched into the fourth inning, did not allow a run and walked off the mound the Houston Astros holding a lead. McCullers worked 3 ⅔ scoreless innings against the Chicago White Sox in his first start with the Astros since Game 3 of the 2022 World Series.

The Chicago White Sox rallied from a four-run deficit Sunday to beat the Houston Astros 5-4 in a game called after 6 1/2 innings because of rain.

Davis Martin went all out during a fourth-inning showdown with Jake Meyers. The Chicago White Sox starter began with two fastballs to get ahead 0-2. Meyers then fouled off a slider and fastball. Martin threw a changeup in the dirt for a ball.

Lenyn Sosa drove in two runs and Mike Vasil pitched 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief to lift the Chicago White Sox to a 5-4 win against the visiting Houston Astros on Sunday in a game shortened due to rain.

CHICAGO - With Lance McCullers Jr. rejoining their rotation, the Houston Astros will move rookie Ryan Gusto to their bullpen "for now," manager Joe Espada said Sunday morning. Gusto was listed among the available relievers for Sunday's series finale against the White Sox.

The Houston Astros are making a change to their pitching staff 'for now' with more changes likely coming soon.
