Tosses scoreless frame as opener Keller started Saturday's 6-5 win over the Mets and tossed a scoreless inning with two strikeouts before exiting.

Impact Keller served as an effective opener before turning things over to Cade Horton, who logged four innings in his MLB debut. The former has pitched well lately, as he hasn't allowed an earned run over his last seven appearances. Keller has maxed out at two innings this year for his longest outing, so the former starter looks locked into a more traditional bullpen role in Chicago, but he seems to be thriving as a reliever.

Due to start Saturday Keller will start Saturday's game against the Mets, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Manager Craig Counsell said the Cubs are going to rely on their bullpen to get through Saturday's contest, and Keller will be the one to get things started for the North Siders. The 29-year-old owns a 3.78 ERA and 1.26 WHIP through 16.2 innings this season and isn't likely to last more than one or two frames in what will be his first start of the year.

Allows two runs in team debut Keller allowed two runs on four hits over two innings of relief in Friday's 8-1 loss to the Diamondbacks. He struck out three.

Impact Keller joined the Cubs over the winter on a minor-league deal, but he did enough in camp to warrant a look as a long reliever on the MLB roster. He was able to make his team debut in mop-up duty Friday, and while Arizona managed some solid contact, he did at least tally three strikeouts in his two frames. The righty figures to work mostly in low-leverage spots for Chicago, at least for the time being, giving him limited fantasy appeal.

Impact Keller has "opened eyes" in Cubs camp with his velocity jump and mechanical improvements, per Mooney, so the team doesn't want to let him get away. The big righty has allowed four runs with a 6:1 K:BB over seven innings during Cactus League play. Keller seems likely to serve in a long relief role initially for the Cubs.
