Keuchel (neck) played catch Wednesday and said he's on track to start Saturday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Keuchel, who is eligible to return from the disabled list Saturday, has picked up his activity this week after missing a start Monday. Manager A.J. Hinch isn't ready to commit to him starting Saturday but told reporters that the left-hander is "going in the right direction" and that there's nothing to "decide until Friday."
