Houston Astros right-handers Jose Urquidy and Cristian Javier each are scheduled to undergo right elbow surgery and miss the remainder of the season.
Jose Urquidy will make his first start of this postseason when he takes the mound for the Astros in Game 3 of the ALCS. The Red Sox have yet to name a starter for Monday's game at Fenway Park.
MLB has moved Game 4 of the ALDS between the Astros and White Sox to Tuesday because of bad weather in Chicago. Because of the delay, the Astros will start Lance McCullers Jr. instead of Jose Urquidy.
Unexpected excellence on the mound and an inevitable offensive onslaught are among the key reasons why Houston caught the Nationals.
Rookie Jose Urquidy will get the start for Houston in Game 4 of the World Series on Saturday against the Washington Nationals, manager AJ Hinch said after the Astros won Game 3.
