Phillies’ Keller Hit Hard by UCL Tear, IL Stint Likely Ends Season

The Philadelphia Phillies placed pitcher Brad Keller on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow UCL tear (retroactive to July 13). Seth Johnson was recalled to take his roster spot. It’s unclear if Keller will require surgery; non-surgical rehab can still take months and likely ends his season, with potential implications for 2027 if Tommy John is needed. The Phillies may look to bolster the bullpen at the trade deadline.
