Brad Keller Suffers Torn UCL Following Disappointing Season

Brad Keller endured a difficult first year with the Philadelphia Phillies, posting a 4.02 ERA over 32 appearances before suffering a torn UCL that required Tommy John surgery. Signed to a two-year, $22M deal to anchor the bullpen setup role, Keller saw his strikeout rate drop and WHIP balloon to 1.34. The season-ending injury effectively halts his Phillies tenure and leaves a glaring void in the team's bullpen relief corps heading into the upcoming offseason.
