When the Phillies signed Brian Keller on May 18, it didn’t make much of a splash. After all he was a 32-year-old who had never pitched in the majors and spent the past couple of years rehabbing from Tommy John…
The Good Phight evaluated 32-year-old pitcher Brian Keller's 2026 season with the Philadelphia Phillies, giving him a final grade of C-. After returning from Tommy John surgery, Keller signed a minor league contract in May and posted a 2.24 ERA at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He subsequently made his major league debut on July 25 against the New York Yankees, allowing one run over three innings.
Following his return to Triple-A, Keller struggled significantly, allowing 41 runs across 30.1 innings down the stretch. Writer Smarty Jones notes that Keller is currently a free agent, suggesting the Phillies could potentially offer him a minor league invitation to spring camp despite his late-season decline.
