Evaluating fantasy replacements for Mitch Keller

Rotoworld Player News

Johan Oviedo

PIT Starting Pitcher #24

Johan Oviedo was roughed up for six runs in five innings by the Phillies in a loss Wednesday.

Oviedo had the benefit of facing the Phillies’ “B” lineup after they clinched Tuesday, yet he did nothing with it. Fortunately, the offense picked him up, so he avoided taking a 15th loss, which would have tied for the NL lead. Oviedo’s 4.31 ERA will wind up right around the league average, and he should enter spring training with a rotation spot to lose in Pittsburgh.
Luis Ortiz

PIT Starting Pitcher #48

Luis Ortiz will start on Thursday against the Phillies.

Ortiz will take the ball for Thursday’s game against the Phillies in likely his final outing of the 2023 campaign. The 24-year-old right-hander will likely have to compete for a spot in Pittsburgh’s starting rotation next spring and might fit better long-term as a reliever.
Henry Davis

PIT Catcher #32

Henry Davis went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in a loss to the Phillies Tuesday night.

Since returning from the injured list with a right-hand injury on September 15, the 24-year-old has only played the field twice. Tuesday was no different, but he connected with his season’s seventh homer in a tough loss to the Phillies. It seems like his catching days are over, as he hasn’t started behind the plate in the majors, and he will only be outfield eligible at the start of draft season.
Mitch Keller

PIT Starting Pitcher #23

Mitch Keller allowed two runs across six innings Tuesday in a tough loss to the Phillies.

Keller kept the Phillies off the bases across five innings, but things turned sour in the sixth. After throwing a cutter to Brandon Marsh, he grimaced and was checked by team trainers. He remained in the game, and the next ball flew 412 feet over the center field wall, breaking up his no-hitter and the zero-run game. He allowed two more hits before Bryce Harper connected with a sacrifice fly, giving the Phillies a two-run lead. The 27-year-old has a chance to make a start on Sunday against the Marlins, but if not, he finishes with a 4.21 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 210/55 K/BB ratio over 194 1/3 innings.
Nick Gonzales

PIT Second Baseman #39

Pirates recalled INF Nick Gonzales from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Gonzales got into 31 games earlier this season for the Pirates and will get another brief cup of coffee in the majors to close out the regular season. The 24-year-old former first-round pick posted a stellar .886 OPS with 14 homers and four steals in 99 games this season for Triple-A Indianapolis.
Alika Williams

PIT Shortstop #75

Pirates optioned INF Alika Williams to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Williams has been shipped back to the minors after batting .198 (20-for-101) with zero homers and six RBI in 46 games for the Pirates. The 24-year-old infielder should be in the mix to compete for a bench role next spring.
Quinn Priester

PIT Starting Pitcher #64

Quinn Priester allowed two runs over six innings Sunday against the Reds for his first quality start as a major leaguer.

Priester walked five, but he allowed two hits and got through six on just 92 pitches. One more strong outing against Miami on Saturday would definitely give him a boost going into 2024. As is, he’s still sporting a 7.86 ERA in 44 2/3 innings.
Osvaldo Bido

PIT Starting Pitcher #70

Pirates recalled RHP Osvaldo Bido from Triple-A Indianapolis.

The 27-year-old returns to the majors for the final week of the season. He posted a 6.36 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 46 2/3 uninspiring innings with the big league club earlier this season. He will likely pitch in low-leverage situations while he remains with the team.
Bailey Falter

PIT Starting Pitcher #70

Pirates placed RHP Bailey Falter on the 15-day-injured list with a left neck strain.

Falter was destroyed by the Reds on Saturday, allowing eight runs on nine hits but came away with a no-decision after the Reds’ bullpen imploded in the game’s final frames. The injury effectively ends his season, and he’ll head into the winter with a 5.36 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and 60/20 K/BB ratio over 80 2/3 innings.
Alfonso Rivas

PIT First Baseman #30

Alfonso Rivas went 3-for-5 with a double and five RBI on Saturday night, leading the Pirates all the way back from a 9-0 deficit to defeat the Reds 13-12 in Cincinnati.

It’s the first time in Pirates’ franchise history that they have come back from a deficit of nine runs or greater to win a ballgame. Rivas started the long road back with an RBI single in the fourth inning that made it 9-1. He then smacked a bases-clearing three-run double in the seventh that tied the game at 9-9. Rivas also added an RBI single in the eighth inning that increased the Bucs’ lead to 11-9. With his three-hit attack, the 27-year-old is now hitting .219/.297/.419 with three homers, 15 RBI and one stolen base across 119 plate appearances on the season. This is a game that he’s never going to forget.
