Latest news
Keller (shoulder) said Wednesday that he feels fully healthy and plans to resume throwing in late October, Aiden Stepansky of MLB.com reports.
Keller has remained shut down since being diagnosed with a right teres major strain in early August. The rest appears to have accomplished its goal thus far, and Keller looks to be on track to have a normal offseason throwing program. Keller held a 5.29 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 89:42 K:BB over 115.2 innings for the Pirates this season.
RotoWire via ESPN · Sep 23
The Pirates placed Keller on the 60-day injured list Monday due to a right arm teres major muscle injury.
Keller's move to the IL comes just one day after he was lit up for seven earned runs on six hits and four walks in just two innings during Sunday's 10-2 loss to the Reds. The Pirates haven't provided an official recovery timeline for Keller, but his move to the 60-day IL makes him ineligible to be activated until Oct. 2, and the regular season concludes Sept. 27. The Pirates recalled Brandon Eisert from Triple-A Indianapolis to join the roster as a replacement for Keller, who ends his eighth MLB season with a 6-8 record, 5.29 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 89:42 K:BB over 115.2 innings.

Keller (6-8) took the loss Sunday against the Reds, allowing seven runs on six hits and four walks in two innings. He struck out two.
Keller lacked both control and command Sunday, tying a season high in walks and serving up a pair of home runs. The seven runs allowed matched a season worst for the right-hander, who also turned in his shortest outing of the season while recording his second-fewest strikeouts of the campaign. Keller will be trying to pick up the pieces his next time out against the reeling Mets, holding a 5.29 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 89:42 K:BB over 115.2 innings.

Keller did not factor into Monday's decision against Arizona, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four across 5.1 innings.
Keller kept pace with Merrill Kelly in Monday's pitching duel before the former gave up the first runs of the game in the sixth on a Max Kepler double, though Keller came away with the no-decision after his Pirates teammates forced extra-innings. He's given up two earned runs or less in back-to-back starts and sports a 4.83 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 87:38 K:BB over 113.2 innings this season. Keller is lined up to face the Reds on the road this weekend.
