The Rays placed Kevin Kelly on the 15-day injured list with a left gluteal strain.

Kelly posted a 3.60 ERA in five innings in relief. Cole Sulser was recalled as the corresponding move.

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

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.
