Joe Kelly (hamstring) has been reinstated from the 15-day IL.

Fantasy Impact

Kelly last pitched on 5/25 and has struggled in his limited innings so far in 2022 (9.53 ERA in 5.2 innings). That being said, Liam Hendriks just went on the IL, so there could be some save opportunities for Kelly at some point depending on how things shake out.

Kelly was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left hamstring strain on May 26. White Sox manager Tony La Russa said that he wishes Kelly’s sim game was in the afternoon because of how eager he is to bolster the team's bullpen.

Fantasy Impact

Between 2020 and 2021, Kelly posted a 2.67 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP in 54 innings. Kelly brings a ton of experience to an already deep bullpen that features Liam Hendriks, Craig Kimbrel, Aaron Bummer, Kendall Graveman, and Garrett Crochet. Kelly likely does not factor into any saves but could provide some holds.
