Merrill Kelly Expected To Be Out Through The All-Star Break
5 months agoArizona Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly (shoulder) is expected to be held out through the All-Star break. The Diamondbacks are being cautious with Kelly and will not rush him through his rehab process. The 35-year-old has been sidelined due to a right shoulder strain since late April. He has to throw beyond 75 feet. Kelly owned a 2.19 ERA, 0.93 ERA, and a 21: 6 K: BB across 24 2/3 innings before landing on the injured list. The veteran right-hander won't be back on the mound until mid-July at the earliest. Fantasy managers with an IL spot should continue to stash Kelly in all leagues.
