Joins Boston
Keller signed a one-year contract with the Red Sox on Sunday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
After clearing waivers upon being designated for assignment by the White Sox last week, Keller elected free agency and quickly caught on with a new club on a big-league deal. Keller is expected to be available out of the bullpen for Sunday's game against the Brewers and should serve as a long-relief option for the duration of his stay with Boston. Prior to being cut by the White Sox, Keller made five appearances (two starts) and pitched to a 4.86 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 16.2 innings.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Fit in St. Louis?
Keller could be claimed off waivers by the Cardinals, as they have an opening for a spot starter Saturday, per Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander was designated for assignment by the White Sox over the weekend after he posted a 4.86 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB across 16.2 innings. The Cardinals have a team off day Thursday, but utilizing a spot starter will allow them to provide some extra rest for their four healthy starters. However, Keller won't offer much fantasy upside if he receives that opportunity.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
2019
Keller began 2022 as a starter, posting a 4.93 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 122.1 innings across 22 starts before he was bumped from the rotation. Things didn't get better as a reliever, as he posted a 6.23 ERA and 2.02 WHIP over 17.1 relief appearances. At 27 years old, there's some pressure for Keller to find a role, or he'll soon be passed by prospects. He had solid numbers in his first three seasons, but he's been subpar over the last two years. The right-hander doesn't give up a ton of hard contact, but his three primary pitches -- slider, fastball, sinker -- have been far more hittable than Statcast projections would expect. He won't overwhelm many hitters with a 94 mph fastball. His fantasy value is linked to if he can bounce back to claim a spot in the rotation to begin 2023.
