Kelly (biceps) will not pitch again this season, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Timesreports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly served as the opener in Game 5 of the NLCS on Thursday but was forced out of the game early due to a right biceps strain. He won't pitch again this season, but a clearer timeline has yet to be determined.

Kelly exited Game 5 of the NLCS against Atlanta on Thursday with right biceps tightness, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly threw 28 pitches as the team's opener and managed only two outs prior to exiting with the apparent injury. He also wasn't particularly effective while on the mound, as he allowed a two-run home run to Freddie Freeman -- the third batter batter of the contest. There is no timeline for Kelly's potential return.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly has made six relief appearances to begin the postseason and has posted a 1.93 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in 4.2 innings. The Dodgers haven't indicated who will serve as the primary pitcher in Thursday's bullpen game.

Kelly (1-0) allowed one hit and no walks in two-thirds of a scoreless inning to earn the win over the Giants in Game 4 of the NLDS on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly has made three relief appearances since the start of the postseason, and he was rewarded with his first playoff win of 2021 on Tuesday. Across 2.1 innings since the playoffs began, the right-hander has posted a 3.86 ERA and 1.71 WHIP.

Kelly earned a hold against Milwaukee on Friday despite allowing one run on a hit and a walk over two-thirds of an inning. Both outs he recorded came via strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

After walking Christian Yelich to lead off the frame, Kelly bounced back to strike out the subsequent two batters. However, Yelich stole second and came around to score when Daniel Vogelbach notched a two-out single. That was the end of the outing for Kelly, as Kenley Jansen took over from there and recorded the four-out save. The run allowed by Kelly was his first in over a month. Since Sept. 1, the right hander has posted a minuscule 0.75 ERA and 0.67 WHIP while striking out 13 batters over 12 innings. Over that stretch, he has picked up one save and six holds.

Kelly earned a hold against San Diego on Saturday by striking out both batters he faced.

EDGE Analysis

Situations don't get much higher in leverage than the one Kelly faced Saturday, as he was tasked with preserving a one-run eighth-inning lead with Fernando Tatis on third base and only one out. The fireballer shined in the spotlight, needing only seven pitches to strike out both Wil Myers and Tommy Pham. Kelly hasn't allowed a run in his past six outings, posting a 4:0 K:BB and picking up two holds and a save over that span.

Kelly earned the save Wednesday against Atlanta after tossing a perfect inning. He didn't strike out anyone.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly bounced back from his previous outing, where he allowed two runs across one inning against the Rockies, though it's worth noting that those are the only two runs he has given up over his previous five appearances. The veteran reliever has a 3.27 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB across 11 innings since the All-Star break.

Kelly (undisclosed) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly had been on the virus-related IL since Aug. 10, but he returns to take Victor Gonzalez's spot on the active roster and in the bullpen. The righty was pitching well before going on the shelf, allowing only one run on two hits and a walk in his last 6.2 innings while striking out seven.

Kelly (COVID-19 injured list) is with the Dodgers in San Diego and may be activated Wednesday, Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was some expectation that Kelly would return to the active roster for the first game of the series against the Padres on Tuesday, but he'll instead wait at least another day. The right-hander made two rehab appearances with Low-A Rancho Cucamonga recently but hasn't appeared in a game with the big club since Aug. 6. He'll likely immediately slot into a late-inning role upon his return.
