Keuchel (neck) will start playing catch Monday in Oakland as the Astros kick off a seven-game road trip, Mark Eisenhauer of the Houston Chronicle reports.

This will be the first time Keuchel has thrown since the left-hander was scratched from a start June 7. The fact that he's with the team on the road suggests he may return at some point over the next week, but we'll learn more after Monday's session.
