Eligibility
The Red Sox are expected to sign Brad Keller Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
The team is hopeful that they will be able to get the deal official before first pitch Sunday. Keller recently elected free agency after being designated for assignment by the White Sox.
Brad Keller has cleared waivers and has elected free agency.
Fantasy Impact
Keller was designated for assignment earlier this week after struggling this season, posting a 4.86 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP with the White Sox. He will now test the free agent market and look to join a team in need of depth in their rotation.
The White Sox are designating Brad Keller for assignment.
Fantasy Impact
Keller struggled in his latest outing against the Yankees on Saturday. He will hit the waiver wire and could remain in the White Sox organization if he isn't claimed.
Brad Keller struggled mightily in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Yankees.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed five earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four over four innings. This outing inflated his ERA to 4.86 and WHIP to 1.38 for the season, which are concerning numbers for fantasy managers. His performance this season, characterized by a high FIP of 6.68 and a low K/9 rate of 7.0, suggests that Keller may not be a reliable option in most fantasy formats. The lack of wins, now standing at 0-2, combined with these metrics, should make fantasy managers cautious about deploying him in their starting lineups.
Brad Keller will step out of the White Sox bullpen and join the rotation.
Fantasy Impact
Keller made his only start of the season for the White Sox back on May 3 in St. Louis. His other three appearances have come out of the bullpen, including a couple of multi-inning outings over the past week. The big righty is carrying a 2.84 ERA across 12 2/3 innings this season and will likely get a start at Yankee Stadium this upcoming weekend. Michael Soroka will head out of the rotation and into the bullpen for now.
