Dallas Keuchel Out for 10 Days

The red-hot Houston Astros will have to get by without pitching ace Dallas Keuchel for ten day at least after being placed on the disabled list because of discomfort in his neck.

Keuchel has been outstanding so far this season with a 9-0 record and an ERA of only 1.67 in 11 starts. This is the second time this season he's been on the disabled list, the last time was last month also due to a neck issue.

The Astros, who beat Kansas City 6-1 last night, have the best record in the major leagues this season at 43-18, a winning percentage of .705, 13 games in front of the L.A. Angels in the American League West.
