Fantasy Impact:
Kelley is returning on Wednesday but will not be the closer in Texas, as the Rangers announced on Tuesday that Jose Leclerc would be taking over as closer even after Kelley returned. That move has more to do with Leclerc's four-year extension this offseason and his recent success than anything else, as Kelley rejoins the Rangers with a 3.00 ERA and 32 strikeouts over 33 innings. He will work as the setup man in Texas for the time being, unless Leclerc is unavailable or struggles.
