Merrill Kelly News
Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly (leg) turned in another great start but was also stopped short again in Monday's 4-2 win over the Rockies. Kelly earned his 11th win of the season, allowing one run on four hits and a walk with 12 strikeouts over seven innings pitched. However, it was the third time in the past month that Kelly has had to exit a start due to cramping. The 34-year-old has still pitched very well despite this and now owns a 3.22 ERA and a 9.65 K/9 rate in 25 starts on the season. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for any further news related to his health and next start, but he is currently lined up for a tough matchup at the Cubs.
Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly (hamstring) is scheduled to make his next start on Tuesday against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers. Kelly won't have to miss a turn in the starting rotation after he left his most recent start with cramping in his right hamstring. The 34-year-old has been having an excellent season, but he'll be facing a dangerous Dodgers lineup this week. Despite dealing with cramping last week against the Cincinnati Reds, Kelly still managed to go seven scoreless innings while striking out a career-high 12 batters. In 23 starts over 136 1/3 innings so far in 2023, he's gone 10-5 with a 2.97 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 146 strikeouts. Fantasy managers in DFS will probably be fading him against the Dodgers on Tuesday, though.
Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly left his start on Thursday with a trainer while warming up for the eighth inning. Kelly was apparently experiencing cramping in his right hamstring and the D-backs wanted to be cautious with the righty. The situation doesn't sound serious, and Kelly will likely be able to make his next start. As for this start, Kelly dominated once again, throwing seven scoreless frames while allowing just one hit with a 12:1 K:BB ratio. The 34-year-old is having the best season of his career and is in the midst of the best stretch of starts in his career as well. He is looking like a potential league-winner if he can keep it up.
