Astros switching up starting rotation; Oberholtzer to make rehab start

Astros manager A.J. Hinch is changing up the starting rotation schedule ahead of the weekend series with White Sox.

Astros manager A.J. Hinch is attempting to prevent his bullpen arms from being overtaxed going forward. Dallas Keuchel will move up one spot and pitch on Saturday against the White Sox and Roberto Hernandez will pitch on six days rest.
