Dallas Keuchel (neck) could return to Astros' rotation next weekend

Houston Astros starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel (neck) gave up three hits and one run over five strong innings Saturday in a rehab start for Low-A Quad Cities.

What It Means:

The start is expected to be Keuchel's last rehab appearance. If he makes it through a bullpen session mid-week, he will likely be activated to start next weekend versus the Detroit Tigers.

Through 11 starts, Keuchel was 9-0 with a 1.67 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and 69 strikeouts in 75 1/3 innings pitched this season.
