Brad Keller Remains a Potential Ninth-Inning Option for Phillies, Earns Third Save

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Brad Keller had a rocky ninth inning against the A's on Wednesday night, but he still secured his third save of the year. Keller gave up a single and two walks to load the bases before getting Jacob Wilson to ground out to end the game. Keller needed 22 pitches to earn his third save in the last six days, and he'll remain a primary setup man for Jhoan Duran, who just returned from the injured list and threw 27 pitches on Tuesday. With Duran unavailable, Keller stepped in once again. He has a 4.02 ERA in his 15 2/3 innings this season and will remain in a high-leverage role, even though Duran should get most of the save chances for the Phillies now that he's healthy.

Brad Keller a Short-Term Solution for Saves in Fantasy Baseball

Philadelphia Phillies reliever Brad Keller has emerged as a potential short-term solution for high-end production in fantasy baseball. Manager Rob Thomson said that Keller will earn the bulk of the team's save situations while Jhoan Duran (left oblique strain) is sidelined. With save opportunities on the way, Keller has the potential to accrue fantasy points as a short-term replacement option. Adding Keller doesn't come without some risk, though. He's up to a 4.78 FIP, and his 7.84 K/9 rate is nearly two units lower than last year. He also struggled in a high-leverage situation on Thursday as he surrendered a solo home run to Seiya Suzuki during a tied game in the ninth inning. With that being said, the Phillies remain committed to giving him leverage work, and we're encouraged by his 56.7% ground ball rate, 2.61 BB/9, and 2.58 xERA. He has additional upside greater than his current ranking as the #41 closer in RotoBaller's latest rest-of-season rankings.

Brad Keller Will "Probably" Earn First Save Situation in Modified Phillies Bullpen

According to Jon Morosi of the MLB Network, Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Brad Keller is projected to receive the first save situation in the current bullpen. The Phillies have several relievers on the injured list, with primary closer Jhoan Duran (oblique) being the most notable name. Through the early going in the regular season, Keller has operated as the top setup man, tallying four saves over his first eight appearances while posting a 4.70 ERA with an 8:2 K:BB. On April 18, Keller was deployed in the ninth inning (in a non-save situation), which suggests the Phillies trust him in the final frame. Last summer, Keller was a reliable setup option for the Cubs, earning 26 holds and chipping in three saves with a strong 2.07 ERA. He should be viewed as a top option for saves on the waiver wire ahead of Week 4.

Brad Keller Could be Next Option for Saves in Philadelphia

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Brad Keller could be asked to take on a larger role in the bullpen over the next few weeks. On Saturday, closer Jhoan Duran (oblique) was placed on the 15-day Injured List. The organization is hopeful it'll be a minimal stay for Duran, but the Phillies will still be without him for the next two weeks. The expectation is that either Keller or Jose Alvarado will take over in the closer role while Duran is down. Given Alvarado's struggles, Keller seems like the favorite to get saves right now. Fantasy managers looking for a source for saves might want to consider adding Keller if he does end up taking over the closer role.

Brad Keller Joins Team USA for World Baseball Classic

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Brad Keller has decided to join Team USA for the upcoming World Baseball Classic. This should pretty much round out the pitching staff, but it's always possible that someone drops out. This is a nice addition to the roster as Keller experienced a breakout season with the Chicago Cubs in 2025. He posted a 2.07 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and a 75/22 K/BB ratio across 68 games. That performance earned him a two-year, $22 million deal with the Phillies this offseason. The 30-year-old will now get a chance to shine for his country.

Brad Keller Agrees With Phillies on Two-Year Deal

Free-agent right-hander Brad Keller and the Philadelphia Phillies agreed to a two-year, $22 million deal on Wednesday, sources told Jesse Rogers of ESPN. There were reports this offseason that several clubs were interested in moving Keller, who excelled in a relief role in 2025 with the Chicago Cubs, back to the starting rotation. At least to open next season, the Phillies intend to keep the 30-year-old in the bullpen after he had a career-best 2.07 ERA (2.93 FIP), 0.96 WHIP, a career-high three saves, 75 strikeouts, and 22 walks in 69 2/3 innings over 68 appearances (one start) in the regular season for Chicago. With more velocity on his heater, Keller's strikeout rate spiked to a career-high 27.2% this past season, and he should be plenty valuable in holds leagues as the primary setup man in front of closer Jhoan Duran in 2026 in Philly.

Tigers Interested in Brad Keller in a Starting Role

The Detroit Tigers are one of the teams that are interested in signing free-agent right-hander Brad Keller and turning him back into a starting pitcher, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Keller was solid in a full-time relief role in 2025 with the Chicago Cubs, posting a career-low 2.07 ERA (2.93 FIP), 0.96 WHIP, a career-high three saves, 75 strikeouts and 22 walks in 69 2/3 innings over 68 appearances (one start) during the regular season. The 30-year-old veteran has 117 starts in eight major-league seasons, though, and some teams like the Tigers might be interested in returning him to a starting role in 2026. Will Vest is currently locked into the closing role for Detroit, although he could share duties in the ninth inning if the club decides to bring Kyle Finnegan back. Keller hasn't been a full-time starter since his final season with the Royals in 2023. He had a career-best 27.2% strikeout rate in 2025 with the Cubs after having never posted a strikeout rate above 19.6 as a starter.

Brad Keller Interested in Returning to Cubs After Breakout Season

Chicago Cubs reliever Brad Keller has expressed a strong desire to re-sign with the team after a career-best 2025 season. The 30-year-old posted a 2.07 ERA, a 0.96 WHIP, and led Chicago's staff with 68 appearances, emerging as a key bullpen piece during the Cubs' 92-win campaign. Keller, who joined the team on a minor-league deal last winter, said, "Chicago is my favorite city. I love playing for the Cubs." As he enters free agency, Keller hopes to remain part of a clubhouse he believes is "something special," while the Cubs weigh whether to invest in keeping their top reliever.

Brad Keller Earns Third Save Of Season Tuesday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Brad Keller picked up his third save of the season in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Pirates. Keller came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by three and delivered a 1-2-3 performance with two strikeouts. The 30-year-old has had a resurgent season out of the bullpen for the Cubs and has split save opportunities with Andrew Kittredge since Daniel Palencia (shoulder) was placed on the injured list with a right shoulder strain. Kittredge pitched a clean seventh inning in Tuesday's win. Keller now has four wins and 25 holds to go with a 2.16 ERA, a 0.96 WHIP, and a 9.59 K/9 rate in 66 2/3 innings of work.

Brad Keller To Start Bullpen Game For Cubs On Saturday

Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell said that right-hander Brad Keller will serve as the opener in what will be a bullpen game on Saturday against the New York Mets at Citi Field. Counsell would not confirm whether right-handed pitching prospect Cade Horton will follow Keller as the bulk reliever. Keller probably won't last more than an inning or two in this one, so he's not a realistic fantasy streamer against a tough lineup on the road. The 29-year-old has appeared out of Chicago's bullpen 15 times so far this year and has a 3.78 ERA (2.21 FIP) and 1.26 WHIP with 18 strikeouts and six walks in 16 2/3 total innings pitched. Keller has gone two innings in relief just twice for the Cubs, including his first appearance of the year back on March 28. If Horton comes into the game after Keller exits, it will be for his major-league debut.
