MLB:
How would McCullers' IL return affect the Astros' rotation and France’s odds of breaking in, considering a five-man rotation in upcoming series?
Qwiket AI:
McCullers’ return would force Houston to recalibrate the five-man rotation, potentially shifting France to the bullpen or delaying his activation. If McCullers returns to form quickly, the Astros could ride Javier, Arrighetti, and Alexander while using France as depth. That dynamic limits France’s immediate fantasy upside unless injuries create a clear path to the rotation.
