Royals' Brad Keller: In clear to start Saturday

Keller (lower back) is slated to start Saturday's game against the Cardinals, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

During his most recent start last weekend versus the Blue Jays, Keller gave up three runs over three innings before being pulled due to lower-back tightness. His early exit looks to have been precautionary, as he came out of his between-starts bullpen session without issue. Keller will carry a 7-10 record, 5.64 ERA and 1.68 WHIP into Saturday's outing.
