AUGUST 28, 2021 • KANSASCITY.COM

Placed on 10-day IL Keller was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right lat strain Friday.

Impact Keller was scratched from Thursday's start against the Mariners, and he'll miss at least one more turn through the rotation while he's on the injured list. However, the Royals haven't yet announced whether the right-hander will miss more than the minimum of 10 days.

Dealing with shoulder issue Keller was removed from Thursday's start against the Mariners with posterior right shoulder discomfort, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander was pulled after 4.1 innings during Thursday's outing when he showed some discomfort on the mound after surrendering a two-run homer to Kyle Seager. Keller didn't end up factoring in the decision and gave up two runs on five hits with four walks and three strikeouts. It's unclear if the injury will affect his next turn through the rotation.

He left the game without facing another batter, though there has been no official diagnosis to this point. Prior to his exit, Keller allowed two earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out three across 4.1 innings.

Earns eighth win Keller (8-12) allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out eight in six innings to earn the win over the Cubs on Friday.

Impact Keller had been charged with losses in each of his last three starts, but he had more success Friday. The Royals fell behind early since the right-hander gave up runs in the second and third innings, but he got more run support from the team's offense starting in the fourth inning. Across four starts in August, Keller has recorded a 4.79 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 20.2 innings. He tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Seattle on Thursday.

Picks up quality start, 12th loss Keller (7-12) allowed three earned runs on seven hits and two walks with eight strikeouts through 6.2 innings, taking the loss in Saturday's 9-4 defeat to the Cardinals.

Impact Keller needed 112 pitches to gut his way through 6.2 innings Saturday night, but he kept the ball in the ballpark for the first time since July 21 and picked up a quality start. With that being said, his outing could easily have been a lot worse. Keller loaded the bases in the fifth with one out, but emerged having given up just one run. After walking five batters in his last start (which also came against St. Louis), it was good to see the 26-year-old issue just two free passes to the Cardinals this time around. His eight strikeouts are the second most he's recorded this season. He figures to pitch next against the Cubs on Friday.
