Brad Keller, the Philadelphia Phillies reliever, is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 season due to a torn UCL in his right elbow. This injury follows a lackluster season where he signed a two-year, $22 million contract and made only 32 appearances. Concerns have risen regarding the possibility of Keller missing a significant portion of the 2027 season if surgery is required. With Adolis Garcia already sidelined for the season, the Phillies face an increased bullpen need as Keller’s absence becomes more critical.
