Houston recalled pitcher Dallas Keuchel from Triple-A Oklahoma City Saturday. The Astros placed reliever Travis Blackley (shoulder) on the 15-day disabled list in the corresponding roster move.
Keuchel will likely serve as the long reliever and spot starter for the Astros after not making the team out of spring training. The 25-year-old struggled this spring and was 3-8 last year with a 5.27 ERA over 16 starts in the National League for Houston.
