Right-hander didnt sign anywhere this offseason, despite to pitch this year. Per , Kelly is going to throw for the Dodgers soon to see if that club is willing to give him a deal. Kelly, 37, pitched for the Dodgers from 2019 to 2021 and then again from the 2023 deadline until the end of 2024. The first stint was more succe sful than the second one. From 2019 to 2021, Kelly had a 3.59 earned run average over 105 1/3 innings for the Dodgers. He struck out 26.9% of batters faced and got grounders at a 59.9% clip. In 2023, he only to sed 10 1/3 innings for the Dodgers, spending some time on the injured list due to forearm inflammation. Last year, right shoulder injuries put him on the IL multiple times. He pitched 32 innings with a 4.78 ERA, 24.5% strikeout rate and 47.1% ground ball rate. That shoulder prevented him from pitching in the postseason. Though he wants to come back this year, it doesnt appear as though hes given himself a lot of bargaining leverage. He told last month that If I come back healthy, Im only playing for one team, Luis Aparicio Jersey and thats the Dodgers. Since he hasnt been signed, it doesnt appear as though the Dodgers have been especially interested, though they may be more open to it now. They have recently placed , and on the IL. Phillips had Tommy John surgery and is done for the year. Kopech had meniscus surgery and is going to be out a while. Scott seems to just have some elbow inflammation but hes in the early days of his IL stint. still hasnt pitched this year after undergoing shoulder surgery last year. just returned from a lengthy IL stint due to forearm tightne s. Those injuries have put the Dodgers for bullpen upgrades ahead of this years deadline. Kelly wouldnt be a sure thing due to his age, recent shoulder troubles and the fact that he hasnt pitched this year. Even if he signed, he would likely be sent for a ramp-up period in the minors. He wouldnt solve their bullpen i sues and he wont be the only move they make in that department, but you can never have too much pitching and he wants to play for them. He should be attainable for a low-cost deal, perhaps even a minor league pact. Photo courtesy of Sam Navarro, Imagn Images Nellie Fox Jersey
