Kelley (foot) has given up three earned runs on four hits and five walks while striking out four across 4.1 innings since being reinstated from High-A Winston-Salem's 7-day injured list April 27.
EDGE Analysis
Kelley missed the first three weeks of the season while recovering from a fractured left foot. He's been gradually ramping up thus far at Winston-Salem and should eventually be capable of making four- or five-inning starts, though working deeper into his outings will be contingent on him limiting walks and being more efficient with his pitches.

Kelley is recovering from a fractured left foot and should be ready to go at High-A Winston-Salem by the end of the month, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kelley saw time late last season at Double-A, but he has never pitched at High-A, so that's an obvious starting spot for him once healthy. The hard-throwing righty logged a 3.34 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 59:40 K:BB in 64.2 innings at Single-A last year.

Kelley (shoulder) worked three innings Thursday in his season debut in Low-A Kannapolis' 5-1 win over Down East. He gave up a run on one hit -- a solo home run -- and issued one walk while striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
Kelley was sidelined for the final month of the 2021 season with a right shoulder impingement, but he appears to have received a clean bill of health coming out of spring training. The 2020 second-round pick could be in line for an extended stay at Kannapolis to begin the 2022 campaign after he submitted a 6.86 ERA, 2.05 WHIP and 25:22 K:BB in 21 innings with the affiliate a season ago before sustaining the shoulder injury.

White Sox director of player development Chris Getz said that Kelley exited his start Sunday at Low-A Kannapolis in the first inning due to a right shoulder impingement, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Getz said that a timeline for Kelley's return hasn't been established, the White Sox believe the 2020 second-round pick will pitch again this season. Over 10 starts with Kannapolis, the 19-year-old righty has posted a 6.86 ERA, 2.05 WHIP and 25:22 K:BB across 21 innings.

Low-A Kannapolis reinstated Kelley (elbow) from its 7-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday in the first half of a doubleheader versus Fayetteville.
EDGE Analysis
Kelley, one of the White Sox's most highly touted pitching prospects, will make his return to Kannapolis after he was on the shelf for approximately two months with right elbow inflammation. He was cleared to rejoin the Kannapolis rotation after making a pair of rehab starts in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League over the past week and a half.

Kelley (elbow) made his first rehab appearance Saturday for the White Sox's rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate, recording two outs while surrendering three runs on two hits and three walks.
EDGE Analysis
Kelley was back in action for the first time since May 22 after he had been shut down for a month and a half with right elbow inflammation. The 2020 second-round pick looked rusty over the weekend, so he'll likely require another tune-up outing or two in the ACL before he rejoins Low-A Kannapolis.

Kelley (elbow) is building back up after being shut down with elbow inflammation in late May, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The highly-rated pitching prospect felt elbow soreness when throwing after his May 22 start, so he was shut down as a precaution. Because of the time off, Kelley will require some time to build up and ready himself for minor-league starts once again.

The White Sox added Kelley to their 60-man roster pool Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Chicago announced Kelley and 2019 second-round pick Matthew Thompson as the newest additions to their alternate training site in Schaumburg. An 18-year-old prep right-hander, Kelley is likely at least two or three years away from arriving in the big leagues, but his inclusion in the roster pool will allow the White Sox to more closely track his development with no minor-league season being held in 2020.

Kelley signed a contract valued at $3 million with the White Sox on Saturday, Scot Gregor of the Daily Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kelley was projected as a first-day draft selection but fell to the White Sox at 47th overall. Teams shied away from the right-hander, partially because they believed he would honor his commitment to the University of Texas instead of signing with an MLB team. As such, the White Sox had to pony up considerably more than the slot value for a 47th pick ($1.58 million). The 6-foot-2 Kelley pitched just 12 innings in his senior season at Refugio High School before the coronoavirus halted play, holding opponents without a hit while striking out 34 of the 36 batters he faced. As a junior, he had a 0.22 ERA and 144 strikeouts over 65 innings.
