Astros push Dallas Keuchel back due to fatigue

Houston Astros pitcher Dallas Keuchel will be pushed back from his scheduled Friday start against the Texas Rangers due to fatigue.

What It Means:

Doug Fister will start for Houston on Friday night as a result. Keuchel should return to start either Saturday or Sunday for the American League West divisional showdown.

Keuchel has recorded a 4.55 ERA across 168 innings pitched this season. He owns a 20.5 percent strikeout rate, but both of those numbers are far from his 2.48 ERA and 23.7 strikeout percentage from last year's campaign (232 innings).
