Shawn Kelley Activated Tuesday
5 years agoThe Texas Rangers activated relief pitcher Shawn Kelley (illness) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned pitcher Brett Martin to the minors in a corresponding move. Kelley had surgery to remove lymph nodes from his vocal cords last week. He'll return to a 3-0 record, 1.29 ERA, 0.71 WHIP, 12 K's and two saves in 14 innings over 14 outings. While Kelley might not immediately jump back into the closer's role, he should eventually return there with Jose Leclerc being demoted from the role. Snag Kelley off the waiver wire if he was dropped by his previous owner and you're in need of saves.
