Keller was picked in the 39th round of the 2016 MLB Draft by the New York Yankees.
The 31-year-old has yet to make his MLB debut.
In 2021, he went 2-2 with a 2.77 ERA in 26 games for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Triple-A).
Keller threw a no-hitter during the 2019 season (in Double-A) with the Trenton Thunder.
Keller also spent time with the Boston Red Sox organization.
In 2022, he went 6-5 with a 3.27 ERA in 31 games for the Worcester Red Sox (Triple-A).
He last pitched in Japan (2023) before suffering an injury.

Keller is an intriguing addition to the organization for pitching depth.
He will be worth keeping an eye on, as he has proven to be a good Minor League pitcher.

The Phillies come into the day as the second-place team in the National League East with a 25-23 record in 48 games.
They have gone 8-2 over their last ten games (and are 13-12 in 25 games at home).
After a rough start to the 2026 season, the Phillies have completely turned things around.
John Clark of NBC10 Philadelphia wrote: “The Phillies have been the best team in baseball in May. Bryson Stott is tied for the most RBIs in the majors this month. Kyle Schwarber is right behind him. Alec Bohm is batting 345 in May. One of the best batting averages in the National League.”
After two more games with the Reds, the Phillies will remain at home to host the Cleveland Guardians with the series starting on Friday night.
They have made the MLB playoffs in each of the previous four years.
