Astros' Dallas Keuchel: Will deliver live BP over weekend

Keuchel (shoulder) will throw his first live batting practice session of the spring over the weekend, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

The left-hander is set to take an important step toward being ready for Opening Day. The Astros are being careful with the 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner's recovery from left rotator cuff inflammation. He said he tried to pitch through it for just about all of 2016, so better management of the injury -- or any other one moving forward -- could do wonders for his durability. Keuchel could be worth a buy-low gamble in mixed fantasy drafts if he progresses well through his scheduled spring outings.
