After missing the postseason for the first time since the 2016 season last year, Houston Astros fans were hoping for a much better season this year. However, that just has not been the case.
The starting rotation is in shambles with Hunter Brown, Cristian Javier, and Tatsuya Imai on the IL. And to make matters worse, Lance McCullers Jr. exited his most recent start with a broken fingernail.
The injuries aren't just limited to the pitching staff, either. Carlos Correa suffered a season-ending ankle tendon tear recently, while Jeremy Pena has been limited to just 10 games this year due to a broken finger.
