Joe Kelly Beginning Rehab Assignment On Tuesday
5 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers right-hander Joe Kelly (shoulder) will begin his minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with an appearance for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. It's good news that Kelly has finally started a rehab assignment, but manager Dave Roberts said over the weekend that Kelly was unlikely to return to the big-league bullpen before the All-Star break in mid-July. It makes sense with the 36-year-old veteran reliever having been out with a right-shoulder strain for almost two full months. At best, Kelly will be an option for fantasy managers in deep holds leagues. He only has seven career saves in 13 major-league seasons and had a bloated 4.73 ERA (2.64 FIP) and 1.35 WHIP with 14 strikeouts and five walks for the Dodgers in 13 1/3 innings out of the bullpen before injuring his right shoulder.
