Kevin Kelly

The Rays have recalled Kevin Kelly from Triple-A Durham.

Fantasy Impact

Kelly will take the spot of Pete Fairbanks, who was placed on the injured list Monday. The 26-year-old will provide middle relief depth in the Rays’ bullpen.

The Rays optioned Kevin Kelly to Triple-A Durham.

Fantasy Impact

Kelly has made four appearances so far this season. He'll likely get called back up at some point later in the season.

Kevin Kelly allowed two runs on four hits during the eighth inning of Saturday's game against the Yankees. He retired just two batters and was charged with both the blown save and loss as Tampa Bay ultimately fell to New York by a score of 3-2.

Fantasy Impact

Kelly has limited walks (1.42 BB/9) and homers (0.00 HR/9) through 19 innings in his rookie season, but without a high-leverage bullpen role, he lacks fantasy appeal.

Kevin Kelly delivered 1 1/3 scoreless innings out of the bullpen during Friday's game against the Yankees. He allowed two hits and zero walks while striking out one batter. The 25-year-old earned the win as Tampa Bay ultimately defeated New York by a score of 5-4.

Fantasy Impact

Kelly is now 3-0 with a 3.04 ERA and 1.47 BB/9 this season. In particular, he has looked brilliant over his last seven outings, totaling just one earned run, one walk, and six strikeouts during that span.

Kevin Kelly needed just two pitches to retire the lone batter he faced in the ninth inning of Friday's game against the White Sox. He earned the save as Tampa Bay ultimately defeated Chicago by a score of 3-2.

Fantasy Impact

Kelly is 2-0 with a 4.20 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and .250 OBA through nine relief appearances (15 innings) this season. In addition to Friday's save, Kelly, who has recorded 7.80 K/9 and 1.80 BB/9, has one hold.
