Dallas Keuchel scheduled to start Friday

Astros ace, Dallas Keuchel, spoke with Brian McTaggart and several media members today about his return to the Astros rotation. Keuchel said he felt really good in his last rehab start, and he is ready rejoin the starting rotation on Friday in the series opener against the Detroit Tigers. Before going on the DL with neck discomfort, Keuchel was having an incredible season posting a 9-0 record with a 1.67 ERA. With Lance McCulers struggling as of late, Keuchel’s return is coming at a perfect time for the Astros.
