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.
