HOUSTON (AP) Injured Houston Astros ace Dallas Keuchel is scheduled to begin a rehabilitation assignment with Double-A Corpus Christi on Monday.
Keuchel hasn’t pitched for the AL West leaders since June 2 because of a pinched nerve in his neck. The lefty will likely need multiple starts in the minors before he comes off the disabled list, but the Astros haven’t yet determined exactly how many he will need. He’s expected to throw two innings on Monday.
”I think we’re all just really happy that he’s going to face some live competition and not worry so much about the end game and target dates and things like that,” manager A.
