Sunday is set to be McCullers first appearance in an official game since Game 5 of the 2022 World Series. The righty made one appearance for the Astros in Spring Training this season, throwing a scoreless inning on March 18 against the Washington Nationals at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches.

While returning from injury in 2022, the righty made three starts with Sugar Land from July 27 to August 7, making two starts in Sugar Land. All major league rehab assignments are subject to change without notice.

For the first time in affiliated history, the Space Cowboys will open their season at home as they take on the Oklahoma City Comets on Friday, March 28 at 7:05 pm. With the full promotional schedule announced for 2025, single game tickets for all 75 home games are on sale now for the 2025 Space Cowboys season. 2025 Season Memberships, including Full and Partial Season membership plans, can be purchased online here.
