Designated for assignment
Keller was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Sunday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Keller was tagged with a loss Saturday versus the Yankees, giving up six runs (five earned) on seven hits, including four homers, and he'll now be placed on waivers. The right-hander still owns a 4.86 ERA over 16.2 innings in five appearances, including two starts, with Chicago in 2024, so it's certainly plausible that another organization could claim him. The transaction opens a spot on the Chicago's 40-man roster, while Keller's spot on the major-league roster will likely be filled by Dominic Leone (back), who's slated to be activated from the 15-day injured list in the near future. It's unclear who will replace Keller in the starting rotation, though Michael Soroka projects as a logical replacement for the time being.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could join big-league rotation
Keller is a candidate to join the big-league rotation Tuesday against the Royals, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Keller allowed two runs while striking out five batters over five innings Thursday for Triple-A Charlotte. This spot may eventually go to Mike Clevinger once he's ready in a couple weeks, but if Keller were to join the big-league rotation and hold his own, there'd probably still be a spot for him once Clevinger joins the mix.

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.
