Keuchel has signed a minor-league deal with the Athletics, ESPN reported Saturday. Keuchel will join the A’s Triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas. The 38-year-old left-hander hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2024, when he made four starts with a 5.40 ERA for the Brewers.
Keuchel pitched seven seasons for the Astros, winning the AL Cy Young in 2015, when he led the league in wins (20), innings (232) and had a 2.48 ERA in helping Houston end a nine-season playoff drought.
Keuchel was with the Astros through 2018 before leaving in free agency. He’s since pitched for the Braves, White Sox, Diamondbacks, Rangers and Twins. He made seven starts for the Royals’ Triple-A team in Omaha last season, logging a 3.53 ERA and 2-1 record.
