Mitch Keller is expected to have a normal offseason after missing the final two months with a Grade 3 teres major muscle strain.

Keller saw his ERA jump to 5.29 and his strikeout rate shrink to 18 percent in 22 starts before going on the IL last season. It’s the fourth straight year that his ERA has been over 4.00, and the third straight in which his strikeout rate has declined. The Pirates are hopeful he’ll turn things around as he enters the fourth year of a five-year, $77 million contract, but it just doesn’t seem like that’s a lot to be optimistic about.
