Dallas Keuchel‘s neck forces him onto the 10-day disabled list:
Keuchel was placed on the disabled Thursday retroactive to Monday. He was on the disabled list from May 15-May 26 with a pinched nerve in his neck.
He was activated May 27 and allowed one run on four hits over six innings to win at Texas. He struck out eight, walked two and threw 86 pitches. He began warming up Wednesday for his start against the Royals, but stopped after a few pitches and returned to the clubhouse.
Luckily, the Astros built such a huge lead in the AL West, and the offense is so good, they probably can sustain a long-term loss of Keuchel and still win the division. It would be nice to have the best pitcher in the AL going into the playoffs, however.
