McCullers was supposed to start tonight, and the Astros had never relayed that anything was wrong with him. Ryan Gusto, who was due to start Tuesday, will take his place and start on four days’ rest. The Astros will need someone else to fill in for Gusto tomorrow. It could be Jason Alexander if he’s not needed tonight, or maybe the Astros will bring up A.J. Blubaugh, who would be on four days’ rest.

There isn’t an official timetable for his return yet, but he’s still several weeks away based on this latest update.

Alexander, who was claimed off waivers from the A’s last month, could go multiple innings tonight if needed with Lance McCullers Jr. out or he might start tomorrow’s game. The 32-year-old journeyman had a 1.74 ERA in 20 2/3 innings over four appearances for Sugar Land.

Dubón’s shot to the wall in left-center could have been caught by Willi Castro, but it went off his glove as he attempted a jumping catch. It went as a single, but it would have been a double and Dubón’s first extra-base hit in nearly three weeks under normal circumstances. Dubón is 2-for-26 as a part-timer this month, though he’s started three straight games with Isaac Paredes hurt.
