Eligibility
Kevin Kelly delivered a flawless performance, securing a save as the Rays edged out the Red Sox 4-3 on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
He threw 15 pitches over a clean inning, allowing no hits or walks while striking out two. This outing not only notched his first save of the season but also showcased his ability to handle high-pressure situations effectively. With a season ERA now improved to 3.06 and a WHIP standing strong at 0.96, Kelly's reliability in late-game scenarios continues to solidify. His impressive strikeout-to-walk ratio, now even better at 17.00, and a stable BABIP suggest sustained effectiveness. Fantasy managers should consider Kelly a viable option for saves and holds, especially in leagues that reward precision and low WHIP.
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

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.
