Outlook Brad Keller
Brad Keller lands on the injured list with a right elbow UCL tear
Brad Keller has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right elbow UCL tear, an injury that is expected to sideline him for the remainder of the season. The Phillies currently sit in second place in the NL East with a 56-47 record. His absence is a significant blow to the bullpen depth, prompting the team to rely on options like Jonathan Bowlan and Max Lazar for high-leverage frames.
Looking at his recent workload, Keller managed 29.7 innings with a 4.24 ERA and 32 strikeouts prior to the injury, aligning closely with our season projection of a 4.03 ERA and 68 strikeouts over 67 innings. While he chipped in three saves and 13 holds, fantasy managers must now prepare to move on as his strong relief ratios are unavailable for the rest of the year.
The Phillies face a busy six-game slate this week, opening with a series against the Dodgers before hosting the Yankees. With Keller sidelined indefinitely and out for the foreseeable future, fantasy managers should immediately drop him across all formats.
