HOUSTON -- As the Astros prepared to hit the West Coast for a weeklong road trip beginning Monday in Oakland, all four of their injured starting pitchers -- right-handers Dallas Keuchel, Lance McCullers Jr., Charlie Morton and Collin McHugh -- will soon take steps forward in their rehabs.
"I like that they're all progressing and the key is to not have setbacks or have to shut guys down," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. "I won't feel a ton better until I see they're legitimate options for us."
Here's the latest on all four pitchers, as provided by Hinch pregame Sunday:
• Keuchel, who went on the disabled list on June 5 with neck discomfort, is going to start playing catch on Monday in Oakland.
