Kelly cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Reno, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly spent the vast majority of the 2025 season at Reno, where he finished with a 5.63 ERA and 1.65 WHIP through 115 innings. Now that the 36-year-old righty no longer owns a spot on Arizona's 40-man roster, he may elect free agency and look elsewhere for his next opportunity.

The Diamondbacks optioned Kelly to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly was recalled from Triple-A on Wednesday but didn't make any appearances out of the bullpen in the Diamondbacks' ensuing four games. He'll be swapped off the 26-man active roster for right-hander Nabil Crismatt, who was recalled from Reno to start Sunday's game against the Rockies in Colorado.

The Diamondbacks recalled Kelly from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly has operated as a starter at Reno this season, starting 14 of the 18 games in which he's appeared, and he'll be a candidate to step into the rotation in place of Anthony DeSclafani (thumb), who was placed on the 15-day IL in a corresponding move. Kelly has a 5.82 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 42:33 K:BB across 85 innings at Triple-A this season. Jake Woodford is also an option to go into Arizona's rotation.

The Diamondbacks optioned Kelly to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly pitched 1.2 scoreless innings over two appearances during his stint with the D-backs, but a need for fresh arms will cause him to head back to Triple-A in favor of Juan Burgos. Kelly owns a 5.82 ERA and 1.71 WHIP through 85 innings at Reno this season, but his strong MLB outings could keep him in consideration for a return to Arizona at some point.

The Diamondbacks selected Kelly's contract from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly has spent the entire 2025 campaign at Reno, where he owns a 5.82 ERA and 1.71 WHIP alongside a 42:33 K:BB through 85 innings. Despite his uninspiring statsheet, the 35-year-old will join the D-backs' bullpen to provide a fresh arm while Kyle Nelson heads down to Triple-A. Kevin Ginkel (shoulder) was moved to the 60-day IL to clear a 40-man spot for Kelly.

The Diamondbacks signed Kelly to a minor-league contract Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly made a pair of regular-season appearances for the Reds last season, registering a 5.06 ERA and 4:1 K:BB ratio across 5.1 innings of work. Prior to that, Kelly spent five seasons with the KBO's LG Twins. The former first-round pick and top prospect of the Red Sox is 35 years old and will serve as organizational depth in Arizona.

Kelly cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Louisville.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly will officially remain in the organization after being dropped from the Reds' 40-man roster Thursday. The 34-year-old allowed three runs while striking out four batters and walking one across 5.1 innings over his two appearances with Cincinnati.

The Reds designated Kelly for assignment Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly had one terrific outing and one poor one with the Reds in his first major-league action since 2018. He's being sent out in favor of a much-needed fresh arm in Brandon Leibrandt.

Kelly was credited with a save in Saturday's 10-2 win over the Pirates after striking out two batters over three perfect innings of relief.

EDGE Analysis

Called up from Triple-A Louisville earlier Saturday, Kelly was summoned from the bullpen after starter Julian Aguiar covered six innings before departing with an eight-run lead. In what was his first MLB appearance since 2018, Kelly made quick work of the Pirates, needing 38 pitches to record his nine outs. Though he was deployed out of the bullpen Saturday, Kelly had been stretched out as a starter at Louisville, and he could be in line to get a look out of the Cincinnati rotation with Hunter Greene (elbow) and Andrew Abbott (shoulder) both recently landing on the injured list. The Reds currently have four healthy starters, but with a stretch of six games in five days coming up this week, the team will require two additional starters.

The Reds selected Kelly's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

After spending the last six seasons in the Korea Baseball Organization with the LG Twins, Kelly signed a minor-league contract with Cincinnati on Aug. 8. Across his two starts with Louisville, he gave up four runs on eight hits and five walks while striking out two over eight innings. Assuming he takes the mound for the Reds, it'll mark the first time Kelly has pitched in MLB since 2018 as a member of the Giants. Right-hander Alan Busenitz was designated for assignment by Cincinnati in a corresponding move.
