The Phillies selected Keller's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley ahead of his scheduled appearance Saturday against the Yankees.

Keller, 32, will be making his MLB debut as a bulk reliever Saturday after posting a 2.23 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB across 36.1 innings at Lehigh Valley. Alex McFarlane and Max Lazar were sent down to Triple-A as part of a roster shuffle, and Tanner Banks (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day IL to clear a 40-man spot for Keller.

Campusano isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Campusano will retreat to the bench Saturday after going 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts in Friday's series opener. Freddy Fermin will start behind the plate and bat ninth.

Freeman went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs and a stolen base in a 4-2 win against the Mets on Friday.

Freeman scored half of the Dodgers' runs and recorded his 26th double of the season -- tied for second in the majors. The future Hall of Famer is moving up the all-time chart in the category, as his 573 career regular-season doubles put him 27th in MLB history. Freeman has collected three hits in both of his past two games to push his season slash line to .294/.377/.486 with 15 homers, 51 RBI, 56 runs and five stolen bases through 101 contests.

The Royals traded Misner to the Phillies on Saturday in exchange for cash.

After being DFA'd by the Royals on Wednesday, Misner will reclaim a 40-man roster spot with the Phillies and report to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 28-year-old outfielder has slashed just .220/.256/.244 across 44 plate appearances in the majors this season but boasts a .941 OPS through 63 games at Triple-A. Steward Berroa was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Mack isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.

Mack will get a breather after hitting a home run in Friday's contest to extend his hitting streak to four games. Liam Hicks will handle catching duties with Mack on the bench.

Gordon struck out two batters and allowed one earned run on three hits and one walk across 5.2 innings of relief in Sunday's 9-6 loss to the Reds.

After coming off the injured list June 30, Gordon made each of his three appearances as a starter prior to the All-Star break, logging a 6.60 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in 15 innings across those outings. However, with Tomoyuki Sugano getting cleared to return from the IL to begin the second half, Gordon has since shifted back to the bullpen. He ended up mopping up Sunday behind started Ryan Feltner, who took the loss after being rocked for eight earned runs across 2.1 innings.

Alvarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Dodgers.

The 24-year-old backstop supplied the Mets' last gasp of offense on the night when he took Evan Phillips deep in the eighth inning. Alvarez is up to 12 homers on the season, and three of them have come in five games since the All-Star break. Over 123 plate appearances since returning from knee surgery in early June, Alvarez has produced a .274/.333/.504 slash line with eight home runs, 11 runs scored and 16 RBI.

Gilbert went 2-for-2 with a walk in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Angels.

Gilbert lined a single to center field in the second inning and added another base hit in the fourth. The 25-year-old outfielder delivered his first multi-hit performance since July 5 and is now batting .256 with five RBI, three runs scored and a home run in 47 plate appearances on the month. He's slashing .233/.316/.357 with 23 runs scored, 21 RBI and four long balls across 239 plate appearances this season.

Eldridge went 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored and a double in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Angels.

Eldridge drew a walk in the first inning before coming around to score, and he hit a ground-rule double in the third before adding another run. The 21-year-old has now logged three doubles across 18 outings in July, batting .242 with nine runs scored, seven RBI, four home runs and a stolen base in 77 plate appearances this month. Overall, he's slashing .266/.363/.472 with 32 runs scored, 23 RBI, 10 long balls and a stolen base across 248 plate appearances this season.

Robert went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Dodgers.

The center fielder took Roki Sasaki deep in the second inning to give the Mets an early lead, although they couldn't make it hold up in an eventual 4-2 loss. It was Robert's fourth homer of the year, and his second in four games since coming off the IL following a nearly three-month absence due to back issues. The 28-year-old's checkered injury history and lack of consistent production limit his value despite the impressive physical tools he possesses when he's fully healthy, but Robert is still a player New York will likely try to move at the trade deadline.
