Fantasy Impact:
Kelly suffered his worst season at the big league level in 2025, pitching to a 5.90 ERA in 41 games with the Rays. The home run ball affected the righthander as he allowed 11 long balls in just 39.2 innings. Kelly has had success in Tampa as he has a 3.55 ERA in 177.1 innings over three seasons. He will be competing for a bullpen spot on the Opening Day roster during spring training.
