Astros' Charlie Morton: Should return before All-Star break

Morton (latissimus) will require multiple starts while on rehabilitation assignment, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Morton kicks off his rehab with Triple-A Fresno on Thursday when he'll throw two or three innings depending on his efficiency. From there, he'll build up innings and incorporate all of his pitches over multiple outings and is expected to return to the rotation before the All-Star break.
