Dallas Keuchel will return to Texas in hopes of rekindling his glory days.
The former Houston Astros ace has fallen hard this season, posting a combined 8.53 ERA in
12 starts with the Chicago White Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks. After getting jettisoned by
both teams, he'll have to fight his way back to the majors.
According to The Athletic's Levi Weaver, the 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner signed a minor-
league contract with the Rangers. He'll join their Triple-A affiliate in Round Rock.
Formerly a top-flight southpaw, Keuchel posted a 2.48 ERA and career-high 216 strikeouts in
2015. He recorded a 3.66 ERA through seven seasons in Houston, helping the Astros win the
2017 World Series.
Perhaps Keuchel could receive another opportunity to eat some innings down the stretch, but
Texas would probably be better served auditioning younger players for a 2023 role.

Soto is back at Dodger Stadium for the second straight week, though he hasn’t
been traded yet. He and the Nationals start a three-game series against the
Dodgers on Monday night. But let’s take a brief look at some of the rumors and
the aura surrounding the 23-year-old hitting savant.
“It’s more about assessing the specific need, and also the top-end type players
that aren’t necessarily a need, but don’t become available all that often,” Dodgers
president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said over the weekend
without mentioning Soto by name, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.
“When they do, you always see that process through. That’s kind of our mindset
heading into these last couple weeks.”
Dave Roberts was on the National League All-Star coaching staff last Tuesday,
and heard the chants from the Los Angeles crowd, serenading Soto with “Future
Dodger” over and over. “It was hard to miss,” Roberts said Sunday, per Bill
Plunkett at the Orange County Register.
