Sat Dec 2 202313:44Dodgers Are Close To Re-Signing Veteran Joe Kelly
Free-agent reliever Joe Kelly is close to signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya and FanSided's Robert Murray. The hard-throwing veteran posted a 4.12 ERA, 1.195 WHIP, and 60:18 K/BB ratio over 39 1/3 innings between the White Sox and the Dodgers last season. Kelly was traded to Los Angeles at last season's deadline but had his $9.5 million team option declined at the end of the year. The Dodgers will likely bring him back for less money now.

Wed Sep 13 202320:27Joe Kelly Activated From Injured List
The Los Angeles Dodgers activated relief pitcher Joe Kelly (forearm) from the injured list on Wednesday and optioned rookie right-hander Kyle Hurt back to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. Hurt, the team's No. 12 prospect per MLB Pipeline, looked good in his major-league debut out of the bullpen on Tuesday night against the San Diego Padres, tossing two scoreless and hitless innings while striking out three. The 35-year-old Kelly is returning after missing a month with right-forearm inflammation. He returned to the Dodgers in a trade with the Chicago White Sox and should hold down a late-inning role in LA's bullpen for the rest of the season and playoffs. In 32 2/3 total innings in 2023, Kelly has a 4.41 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, one save and 48 K's in 35 relief appearances.

Sat Sep 2 202312:34Joe Kelly Throws Bullpen Session Friday
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that relief pitcher Joe Kelly (forearm) threw around 20 pitches in a bullpen session on Friday and used his whole pitch mix. It's unclear what the next step for Kelly will be. If Kelly feels good this weekend, he could move to facing hitters early next week. The 35-year-old hard-throwing right-hander made his last appearance in relief for the Dodgers on Aug. 9, so he could need a short minor-league rehab assignment before the Dodgers have him rejoin their bullpen to close out the regular season. In his four relief outings for the Blue since being acquired from the Chicago White Sox at the trade deadline, Kelly has tossed 3 2/3 scoreless frames while giving up a hit, walking three and striking out seven with one hold.

Wed Aug 30 202321:56Joe Kelly To Throw Bullpen Session
Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Joe Kelly (forearm) is set to throw a bullpen session on Friday. The right-hander has been out for over two weeks while battling forearm discomfort. The hope is that Kelly will be able to progress to a simulated game on Tuesday, assuming everything goes well during Friday's bullpen session. It sounds like Kelly is on track to return to the bullpen before the end of the regular season. The 35-year-old was pitching well for the Dodgers before going down, so they would certainly love to have him back in a high-leverage spot out of the bullpen.

Sun Aug 13 202319:24Joe Kelly Placed On Injured List
Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Joe Kelly (forearm) has been placed on the injured list, retroactive August 10. The 35-year-old is dealing with right forearm inflammation, so the team will give him some time off to rest. The right-hander has not allowed a run in four appearances since being acquired at the trade deadline. The team is hopeful that Kelly will be able to return by the end of August. The Dodgers haven't announced a corresponding move with Kelly heading to the injured list.

Fri Jul 28 202315:07Lance Lynn, Joe Kelly Headed To Dodgers
Updating a previous report, the Los Angeles Dodgers have finalized a deal to acquire starting pitcher Lance Lynn and relief pitcher Joe Kelly from the Chicago White Sox. It appears Chicago is ready to unload their roster after trading right-handers Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez to the Los Angeles Angels earlier this week. Lynn will officially waive his no-trade clause in order to go to a contending team. He has been roughed up this season with a 6.47 ERA, 1.46 WHIP through 22 starts. Kelly is expected to be used as a late-inning option for the Dodgers. It's uncertain at the moment what the White Sox are going to get in return for these pitchers.

Fri Jul 28 202314:32Dodgers Nearing Trade For Lance Lynn, Joe Kelly
The Los Angeles Dodgers have recently shown interest in Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn. The two sides have been reportedly discussing a trade this week and it appears they're close to a deal. The trade would also reportedly include right-handed relief pitcher Joe Kelly. Lynn has a good track record, but has been having a tough time this season. He holds a 6.47 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and has allowed a league-high 130 hits this season. Kelly has been a better than Lynn, but honestly that doesn't take much. Kelly has a 4.97 ERA, 1.31 WHIP with 41/12 K/BB ratio through 29 innings. It's uncertain what the White Sox would potentially get back as a return in this deal.

Sat Jul 22 202314:24Joe Kelly Activated From The 15-Day Injured List
Chicago White Sox reliever Joe Kelly was activated from the 15-day injured list on Saturday. The veteran hurler was on the shelf for over two weeks while dealing with elbow inflammation. He was working in high-leverage situations, primarily as a setup man, before he landed on the injured list. Kelly owns a 4.82 ERA, 1.250 WHIP, and 37:10 K/BB ratio over 28 innings (28 appearances). His name has been floated around in trade rumors recently, so the White Sox will likely get him some work to prove his health over the coming days. Veteran reliever Bryan Shaw was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Fri Jul 21 202308:24Joe Kelly To Return This Weekend
Chicago White Sox reliever Joe Kelly (elbow) is likely to return during the club's upcoming weekend series against the Minnesota Twins, according to manager Pedro Grifol. The right-hander hasn't pitched in the big leagues since July 4 after suffering right elbow inflammation. Before the ailment, Kelly pitched to a 4.82 ERA and 1.25 WHIP but recorded 37 strikeouts to just 10 walks over 28 innings. The 35-year-old veteran doesn't hold much value in standard leagues, but fantasy managers in hold formats can roster him, considering his 10 holds on the year.

Thu Jul 6 202314:54Joe Kelly Hits 15-Day Injured List
Chicago White Sox pitcher Joe Kelly has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation. The move is retroactive to July 5. Kelly has had an up-and-down season to this point as he owns a 4.82 ERA across 28 appearances but he has struggled of late, allowing two earned runs in each of his two outings so far in the month of July after yielding just three earned runs across 10 1/3 innings in the month of June. The hard-throwing right-hander threw just 15 of his 26 pitches for strikes his last time out, allowing a homer and a walk in his one inning of work against the Blue Jays on Tuesday. He's been unable to aid a White Sox bullpen that sits 26th with a 4.71 ERA on the season.

Mon May 22 202302:53Joe Kelly Earns First Save Sunday
Chicago White Sox right-handed pitcher Joe Kelly notched his first save of the season on Sunday, securing a 5-2 win over the Kansas City Royals. With Kendall Graveman working two days in a row, Kelly became to go-to option when a save situation arose in this one. He did a good job with the opportunity, setting down the Royals in order while striking out a pair. The 34-year-old is turning back the clock this year, posting a 2.70 ERA and 0.60 WHIP with 19 strikeouts over 13 IP. He hasn't allowed an earned run in nine appearances, which dates back to April 27. Although he probably won't get many save opportunities, he appears to be in a good position to pick up a bunch of holds and work in high-leverage situations. He is an add in saves plus holds leagues.

Tue May 2 202314:21Joe Kelly Placed On Paternity List
Chicago White Sox pitcher Joe Kelly has been placed on the paternity list as part of a flurry of roster moves on the south side. It has been a tough start to the season for the right-hander but better times should be on the horizon. While Kelly owns a 7.71 ERA in just 4 2/3 innings of work, he also sports a 2.93 xERA, 3.82 FIP, 2.45 SIERA, and a hefty 28.6% K-BB%. He's missed a good chunk of the season so far with a groin injury and was recently brought off the 15-day injured list. In addition to moving Kelly to the paternity list, the White Sox also designated both Jake Diekman and Frank German for assignment. Kelly should be back with the club in short order but won't likely factor into the saves situation in Chicago upon his return.

Tue Apr 11 202300:07Joe Kelly Placed On 15-Day Injured List Monday
Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Joe Kelly (groin) was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right groin strain. The move was made retroactive to April 9. Kelly has made three appearances this season, going 0-1 with a bloated 10.13 ERA. Pitcher Keynan Middleton's contract was selected from Triple-A Charlotte and right-hander Jonathan Stiever was outrighted to Charlotte in corresponding moves. It looks like Reynaldo Lopez is the team's first choice for save opportunities for now, so Middleton's fantasy value will be limited.

Thu Aug 11 202222:21Joe Kelly Exits Thursday's Game Early
Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Joe Kelly (head) exited Thursday's game against the Kansas Royals early due to lightheadedness. He will undergo further evaluation and is considered day-to-day. The 34-year-old allowed two runs on one hit and one walk across a 1/3 of an inning before leaving. Kelly owns a 5.84 ERA, 1.62 WHIP, and 33 strikeouts over 24 2/3 innings in 2022. Jake Diekman and Reynaldo Lopez will see more setup opportunities with Kelly sidelined. Diekman and Lopez are speculative adds in fantasy formats that account for the category saves and holds.

Thu May 26 202216:07Joe Kelly Placed On 15-Day Injured List
The Chicago White Sox placed relief pitcher Joe Kelly (hamstring) on the 15-day injured list on Thursday due to a left hamstring strain. The 33-year-old veteran suffered the injury during Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. He threw seven pitches and recorded two strikeouts before exiting the game. Despite having an ugly 9.53 ERA and 2.47 WHIP on the year, Kelly has tallied six holds over seven appearances, all of which have come this month.

Thu May 26 202209:12Joe Kelly Exits With Hamstring Tightness On Wednesday
Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Joe Kelly (hamstring) was removed from Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox due to left hamstring tightness. He entered the game in the eighth inning and struck out each of the two batters he faced on a total of seven pitches before exiting. He is set to be reevaluated Thursday morning. The 33-year-old made his season debut on May 9 and had a few bumpy outings out of the gate. However, he's settled in over the past few weeks and he's now pitched 3 2/3 scoreless innings over his last four outings, striking out six batters along the way. He's already racked up six holds across seven appearances.

Mon May 9 202213:47Yoan Moncada, Joe Kelly Activated From Injured List
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (oblique) and relief pitcher Joe Kelly (biceps) were activated from the injured list on Monday. Infielder Jake Burger was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte to make room for Moncada, while relief pitcher Aaron Bummer (knee) was placed on the injured list to make room for Kelly on the major league roster. Manager Tony La Russa said that Moncada would return to the two-hole in the lineup on Monday against Cleveland Guardians right-hander Zach Plesac. Moncada hit .318 with two home runs and a double on his six-game rehab assignment with Charlotte, and fantasy managers should be looking to get him back into their lineups. Kelly will be making his debut with the White Sox and is expected to be an important late-inning setup man in front of closer Liam Hendriks.

Wed Apr 27 202212:26Joe Kelly To Start Rehab Assignment Friday
Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Joe Kelly (biceps) will start his minor league rehab assignment on Friday with Triple-A Charlotte. Kelly began the regular season on the injured list while battling a nerve issue in his right arm. The 33-year-old right-hander joins the White Sox this year after spending the last three seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he was an integral part of their bullpen. He's expected to do the same in his first year for the White Sox as a bridge to closer Liam Hendriks. Kelly was solid last year in LA, posting a 2.86 ERA, a 0.98 WHIP, two saves, 50 strikeouts and 15 walks in 44 relief innings. He can be valuable in deeper fantasy leagues that reward points for holds.

Sun Apr 17 202212:31Joe Kelly Close To Facing Live Hitters
Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa said that relief pitcher Joe Kelly's (biceps) most recent bullpen session had him sitting in the mid-90s without pain or fatigue, and he's close to facing live hitters in Arizona. General manager Rick Hahn previously said the hope was for Kelly to make some rehab appearances in late April. Kelly suffered a strained right biceps while pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the playoffs last year and opened the season on the injured list. But the hard-throwing right-hander is slowly making his way back and should debut for the White Sox sometime in early May, barring any setbacks. The 33-year-old right-hander should have a prominent late-inning role for the White Sox when he's healthy.

Mon Mar 14 202213:36Joe Kelly Not Expected To Be Ready For Opening Day
Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said the team doesn't expect relief pitcher Joe Kelly (biceps) to be ready for Opening Day as he continues to rehab from a nerve injury. The White Sox are likely erring on the side of caution after they recently signed the 33-year-old right-hander to a two-year, $17 million deal in free agency. Kelly initially injured his right arm in the National League Championship Series last year. The hard-throwing right-hander will serve as a setup man in Chicago's deep bullpen that also includes Craig Kimbrel, Liam Hendriks and Kendall Graveman, among others. In 44 relief innings for the Los Angeles Dodgers last year, Kelly had a 2.86 ERA and 0.98 WHIP with 50 K's and 15 walks over 48 appearances in the regular season.
