OAKLAND -- It was an eventful afternoon in Oakland for the Astros' trio of starters on the disabled list.
Right-handers Lance McCullers Jr. (lower back discomfort) and Charlie Morton (right lat strain) had bullpen throwing sessions Monday, and lefty Dallas Keuchel (neck discomfort) played catch for the first time since hitting the DL on June 5.
Manager A.J. Hinch said Keuchel is still early in his progress, playing catch from less than 100 feet out. The Astros will have Keuchel throw harder and farther on flat ground before moving to getting back on the rubber.
