The Phillies also called up left-hander Kyle Backhus from Triple-A and optioned right-hander Max Lazar to Lehigh Valley. JULY 24: Right-hander Brian Keller is with the Phillies and will be added to the roster ahead of tomorrow’s game, reports Matt Gelb of The Athletic. The Phillies will need to make corresponding moves to get Keller onto the active and 40-man rosters. Per Sam Jellinek, broadcaster for the Phillies’ Triple-A affiliate, Keller required Tommy John surgery shortly after arriving in Japan and then required yet another surgery in 2024. However it plays out, it’s inspiring for Keller to get this shot after going through such a long and arduous journey.
