The Houston Astros are going to be without 28-year old lefty starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel for at least his next two starts due to left shoulder inflammation. Keuchel has pitched in 26 games (all starts) for the Astros so far this year and he is 9-12 with a 4.55 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP. He has given up 168 hits and 48 walks while whiffing 144 batters in his first 168 innings for the Astros so far this year. Maybe the Astros worked Keuchel too hard last year. He pitched in 33 games (all starts) for the Astros in 2015 and he was 20-8 with a 2.48 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. He gave up 185 hits and 51 walks while whiffing 216 batters in his 232 innings last year. Keuchel won the Cy Young Award in the American League last year. He was an All-Star, won a Gold Glove Award and he finished #5 in the MVP voting in the American League last year.
