Astros' Dallas Keuchel: Shut down through weekend

Keuchel (shoulder) has yet to resume throwing and will not pick up a baseball until next week at the earliest, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

The Houston ace has been battling shoulder inflammation since early September and he still hasn't begun to resume throwing. According to Kaplan, there is some sense that if the Astros flounder this weekend in Seattle and lose more ground in the playoff race, the organization may take the safe route and shut down Keuchel for the rest of the season. Regardless, the best case scenario for Keuchel will be to resume throwing sometime next week.
