Joe Kelly Injured In NLCS Game 5
3 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers right-hander Joe Kelly (biceps) left his outing as an opener in the first inning of Game 5 of the National League Championship Series against the Atlanta Braves on Thursday in the first inning with right biceps tightness. Kelly threw 28 pitches and allowed a two-run home run to first baseman Freddie Freeman before departing the game with trainers in just two-thirds of an inning. He was replaced by right-hander Evan Phillips. This was Kelly's first start of the season after 48 regular season appearances in relief. It's unclear if Kelly's injury is serious enough to keep him out for the remainder of the series against the Braves, which will head back to Atlanta on Saturday for Game 6.
