The Houston Astros are set to welcome back former Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel and right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. this week, according to a report from HEAVY. Both pitchers have been sidelined and their returns could provide a significant boost to the Astros' pitching staff as the season progresses.

Keuchel, a franchise legend who won the American League Cy Young Award in 2015, has been working his way back to the major league roster. McCullers Jr., a key part of Houston's rotation when healthy, has also been on the mend. The duo's return adds depth and experience to a pitching group navigating a demanding schedule.
