McCullers (shoulder) threw a live batting practice session Thursday and manager AJ Hinch said that "All reports were good", Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle reports.
This is encouraging news, as it seems the young starter is making steady progress in his rehab process since injuring his shoulder on Mar. 11. He'll likely start the season on the disabled list, but Hinch will still let McCullers travel with the team to New York on Sunday so that he can be a part of the Opening Day festivities prior to throwing a bullpen session at Yankee Stadium.
