Fantasy Impact:
Kelly is dealing with back discomfort and continues to undergo evaluation to determine the cause. He had been slated to start opening day on March 26 against the Los Angeles Dodgers for the Arizona Diamondbacks, but now appears likely to begin the season on the injured list. Zac Gallen and Ryne Nelson are the leading candidates to take his spot on the mound if Kelly is unable to pitch.
