Undergoes UCL surgery
Keller underwent right elbow UCL reconstruction with internal brace and flexor tendon repair surgery Tuesday, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analyse
Right after the All-Star break, Keller was diagnosed with a torn UCL in his right elbow. He's expected to pitch 13-to-16 months from Tuesday's surgery, so the earliest that he could return to action would be late in the 2027 season, though it's more likely that he'll be aiming toward being fully healthy for the start of the 2028 campaign. Keller will finish the 2026 regular season with a 4.02 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 13 holds, three saves and a 32:13 L:BB across 31.1 innings.

Transferred to 60-day IL
The Phillies moved Keller (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Friday.
Analyse
Keller suffered a brutal blow July 16, tearing his UCL just eight days after returning from the injured list with a forearm injury. The 30-year-old will now officially miss the rest of the 2026 season and potentially the 2027 season if he elects to get surgery to repair his UCL. The Phillies selected Payton Henry's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take over Keller's spot on the 40-man roster.
