In a corresponding transaction with the impending DFA of catcher Jose Lobaton, the New York Mets are calling up second baseman Ty Kelly. Kelly was having a solid year down in Triple-A Las Vegas, slashing .252/.346/.450 with six home runs, 34 runs scored and 29 RBI across 229 plate appearances. However, hes not likely to come into any fantasy value anytime soon. In 105 plate appearances in 2017 between the Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, the 29-year-old could muster only two home runs with a meager .191/.257/.337 slash line. Hell simply serve as infield depth for a team that for some reason continues to employ Jose Reyes for the exact same purpose.
Ty Kelly Drives In Lone Run Of Game As Phillies Prevail
With tonight's Red Sox versus Phillies game seemingly headed to extras as a scoreless affair, a run was finally scored in the penultimate inning of regulation. With one on and one out in the bottom of the eighth, Phillies first baseman Ty Kelly came on in a pinch-hitting situation against dominant Red Sox ace Chris Sale. Kelly would double to left field, driving in the first and only run of the game. While Kelly hasn't seen much action this year, this was a huge play, easily his biggest hit of the year.
