The Mariners have signed Dallas Keuchel to a minor-league contract.

Keuchel is scheduled to report to Triple-A Tacoma. The veteran left-hander struggled last season, posting a 5.97 ERA and a 1.67 WHIP with the Twins last season.

Keuchel's strong outing lowers his season ERA to 4.85 and WHIP to 1.46, but his lack of strikeouts remains a concern with just 2.1 K/9.

However, his ability to limit walks and keep the ball in play has resulted in a solid 3.99 FIP and a 0.75 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Fantasy owners should monitor his strikeout production moving forward, but Keuchel's ability to generate ground balls and pitch deep into games makes him a valuable asset in wins and quality starts.

Dallas Keuchel had a rough outing on Friday, lasting just 1.2 innings while surrendering six earned runs on six hits and two walks with no strikeouts as the Twins were blown out by the Phillies 13-2.

This performance raised his season ERA to 9.45 and his WHIP to 2.70, and he still remains winless on the year with a record of 0-2. The 35-year-old will look to turn it around if he remains in the Twins’ rotation.

Dallas Keuchel will start for the Twins on Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Keuchel was recalled from Triple-A after Joe Ryan (groin) was placed on the 15-day IL. He posted a strong 1.13 ERA across six starts in the minor leagues for the Twins.

The Minnesota Twins have selected pitcher Dallas Keuchel after placing Joe Ryan on the injured list Thursday.

Keuchel opted out of his minors deal with the Twins on Tuesday but gets promoted back to the big leagues in short order due to Ryan hitting the injured list with a groin ailment. The left-hander tossed a supreme 1.13 ERA across six starts with Triple-A St. Paul this season after being rocked for a 9.20 ERA between the White Sox, Rangers, and D-backs across 14 starts last season.
