SEATTLE -- Astros manager A.J. Hinch said Sunday it's growing more likely that ace left-handed pitcher Dallas Keuchel, who is on the disabled list retroactive to June 5 with neck discomfort, won't return to game action until after the All-Star break.
The Astros are being extremely cautious with Keuchel, who has yet to throw off a mound since going on the DL for the second time this year with a neck issue. The lefty has been limited to playing catch at 120 feet, and Hinch said there's no timetable to get him on a mound yet.
