Keuchel (neck) is expected to throw sometime in the next couple days, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

This is consistent with prior reports, as it seems like the Astros' ace just needed some time off to let his neck heal properly. It's unclear how long Keuchel will need to rehab before rejoining the rotation, although more information should come forth once he's able to ramp up his throwing over the weekend. If he improves quickly enough, he could get back into action in time for his scheduled start Wednesday against the Athletics.
