Kelly said Thursday on the Baseball Isn't Boring podcast that his right shoulder is "not 100 percent yet."

EDGE Analysis

Kelly expects the shoulder, which he first injured last August, to "eventually" get healthy enough to where he can pitch, and he has been throwing in preparation for pitching in 2025. However, the free agent acknowledged that it's possible he will retire if the shoulder doesn't cooperate. The 36-year-old has indicated previously that he would only pitch for the Dodgers, although it's not clear whether he is still sticking to that stance.

Kelly (shoulder) indicated on The Dodgers Bleed Los Podcast on Jan. 7 that he will either re-sign with the Dodgers or retire.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly also revealed that he's not yet recovered from the right shoulder injury which prematurely ended his 2024 season. It's not clear what the Dodgers' level of interest in re-signing Kelly is, but if the 36-year-old is able to get over the hump with his shoulder, it sounds like he's only interested in staying in Los Angeles. Kelly posted a 4.78 ERA and 35:16 K:BB over 32 innings during the 2024 regular season.

Kelly (shoulder) is unavailable for the NLCS against the Mets, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly was expected to be out until the World Series with the shoulder issue, and that has now been confirmed. He last pitched Sept. 27 and suffered a setback in early October when he attempted to ramp up.

Kelly (shoulder) isn't expected to be able to pitch again this season unless the Dodgers reach the World Series, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, Kelly tweaked his shoulder in a simulated game this week. The issue explains why the right-handed reliever was left off Los Angeles' NLDS roster. Though Kelly posted an unimpressive 4.78 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 32 innings during the regular season, he recorded a 9.8 K/9 and tied for third on the team with 13 holds.

Kelly is not included on the Dodgers' roster for the National League Division Series against San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly had a shoulder injury that sidelined him late in the season, but he was able to return from the injured list Sept. 18 and gave up only one run while posting a 5:2 K:BB over 3.1 innings thereafter. However, the right-handed reliever won't be an option out of the bullpen for Los Angeles during the NLDS. The Dodgers did give a roster spot to hard-throwing rookie Edgardo Henriquez, who logged just three regular-season appearances.

The Dodgers activated Kelly (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly has been out since late August with right shoulder inflammation but is ready to go after making a couple rehab appearances. He's likely to be used in low-leverage situations.

Kelly (shoulder) has joined the Dodgers in Atlanta and will likely be activated from the 15-day injured list during this week's series in Miami, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly made two rehab appearances with Triple-A Oklahoma City, most recently striking out two in a scoreless inning Sunday. He'll rest Monday before likely returning from the IL Tuesday. Kelly holds a 5.20 ERA and 1.59 WHIP through 27.2 innings this season.

Kelly (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Dave Roberts said Kelly will make two appearances in the minors -- the second of which will come Sunday -- before rejoining the Dodgers' bullpen sometime next week. The 36-year-old righty owns a 5.20 ERA and 1.59 WHIP through 27.2 innings on the year and will likely be limited to low-leverage situations once he's healthy.

The Dodgers placed Kelly on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to right shoulder inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly was roughed up in Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, when he gave up two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one over 1.2 innings. Kelly was previously sidelined for over two months due to a strained right shoulder, and it's unclear whether the 36-year-old's stint on the IL will be longer than the minimum window. Right-hander Ben Casparius was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Kelly picked up a hold against Seattle on Monday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning of work.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly served as the bridge between starter Gavin Stone (who pitched seven scoreless innings) and Evan Phillips (who handled the ninth for a save). Though Kelly missed over two months from early May to mid-July due to a shoulder injury, he ranks second on the Dodgers with 13 holds. The right-hander has posted a 4.88 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 28:11 K:BB over 24 innings on the campaign.
