Phillies Designate 6-Foot-3 Righty for Assignment
The Philadelphia Phillies are moving on from one of their pitchers, as they are designating Brian Keller for assignment.
The Philadelphia Phillies have decided to release pitcher Brian Keller from their roster. This move came after they signed pitcher Nestor Cortes. Keller made his first appearance in Major League Baseball for the Phillies back in July. He recorded one earned run, struck out three batters in three innings. Although his debut was promising, he did not return to the Phillies after that.
The majority of Keller's time this season has been spent in the minor leagues. Over 13 minor league games, he has a record of 1-3, a 3.86 ERA, and 47 strikeouts. He has been contributing well in the minors. Given Keller's minor league performance, teams in search of extra pitching depth might find him appealing. With his promising minor league season, another MLB team could claim him off waivers in the final weeks of the season.
In his career, Keller has played in 142 minor league games across seven seasons, boasting a 35-30 record, two saves, 622 strikeouts, and a 3.24 ERA.
