Fantasy Impact
The good news is that Kelly won't need surgery on his throwing arm, but the length of his absence looks to be longer than initially thought. Kelly has looked stellar so far this season, posting a 2.19 ERA through four starts. The right-hander now joins Eduardo Rodriguez and Ryne Nelson on the list of injured starters for the reigning NL champs.
