A man who made online death threats aimed at the family of Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. lives overseas and was intoxicated at the time and told Houston police he was sorry for what he had done, a department spokesperson said Monday.

McCullers received the threats on social media directed at his children after a poor start against the Cincinnati Reds on May 10.

In his second game since returning from a two years-plus absence recovering from arm surgery, Mc- Cullers gave up seven runs in the first inning of an eventual 13-9 loss.

The Astros said Houston police and MLB security were notified. McCullers and his wife Kara have two young daughters. Astros owner Jim Crane hired 24-hour security for them.

Police public information officer Erika Ramirez said the man who made the threats was identified during an investigation. Because no charges have been filed, police are not disclosing his identity or where he lives.

“Investigators spoke with him and he stated he had lost money betting on the Astros game and was frustrated and inebriated when he lashed out on social media,” Ramirez said. “He was apologetic and asked that investigators pass along his apology to the McCullers family.”

Yankees’ Weaver headed to IL: After hurting his hamstring in the Yankees’ 7-3 win over the Dodgers on Sunday, New York closer Luke Weaver is expected to land on the injured list, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

Weaver, who underwent an MRI on Monday, could miss 4-6 weeks, Passan added, though an official timetable will be determined today.

On Sunday, manager Aaron Boone said Weaver “felt something” in his hamstring while stretching late in the game. The righty had already warmed up, but Tim Hill had to finish the game.

Weaver has been enjoying another dominant season, recording a 1.05 ERA and eight saves over 24 games.
