McCullers (hand) has been cleared to start Monday's game against the Mariners, Angel Verdejo of the Houston Chronicle reports.
McCullers had his previous turn skipped after developing a blister on his pitching hand, but the wound seems to have healed well enough for the right-hander to feel comfortable using all of his pitches. The youngster has been very consistent over his last seven outings, tossing between five and seven innings and striking out at least six batters in each outing. On the flip side, he's also walked at least three batters in each of those starts.
