Brad Keller Leaves Sunday's Start With Back Injury
3 years agoKansas City Royals starting pitcher Brad Keller (back) was removed from Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays due to a back injury. Keller said he felt the injury right at the start of the game. He said, "As soon as I stepped on the mound and threw a couple pitches, it just kind of locked up on me." He went on to pitch three innings and he allowed seven hits, no walks and three earned runs while striking out three. The team said that Keller's removal from the game was precautionary. So as of now, it doesn't sound like a stint on the injured list is likely. His next start is scheduled for Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
