The Los Angeles Dodgers activated relief pitcher Joe Kelly from the bereavement list on Monday, and they optioned reliever Caleb Ferguson to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Kelly allowed runs in five of his first six appearances to start the season, as his ERA was an unsightly 12.27. However, he has managed just six runs over his past 11 appearances to slowly work it down to 7.79. Kelly still has a long way to go before he is fantasy-worthy again, even in deeper NL-only formats. Ferguson hasn't been m[...]

Updating a previous report, X-rays on Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Joe Kelly's right wrist came back negative after he was hit by a comebacker on Friday and had to leave the game. Kelly has been hit around often in the early going and already has a loss and two blown saves as a setup man for the Dodgers. Kelly is strictly serving as a setup man in the Los Angeles bullpen, which won't afford him any fantasy appeal.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Joe Kelly was hit by a comebacker off the bat of Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon on Friday night and was removed from the game after trainers came out to check on him. It's unclear what the exact nature of Kelly's injury is or what the severity is, but we'll update you when we find out. Kelly is a key setup man for the Blue but has already suffered a loss and two blown saves in just 3 1/3 innings in 2019, allowing seven hits (two homers) and six earned ru[...]

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Jose Urias allowed three hits with no walks and seven strikeouts across five scoreless innings in a no-decision Monday night against the San Francisco Giants. He threw 51 of his 77 pitches for strikes and departed in line for the win with a 2-0 lead. Joe Kelly quickly came on and undid all of the good work of Urias, allowed four earned runs and four hits over 1 2/3 innings to suffer the loss in relief. Urias will look to return to the win column on Sunday Ni[...]

It is such an honor to have been selected to hit lead-off for the 2019 RotoBaller staff Bold Predictions. Sure, I asked for it due to time constraints but that's not how I will tell my story to the grand-kids. Bold predictions are everyone's favorite articles. They are fun, not always entirely plausible, while still possibly providing fantastic, league-winning advice.The majority of these predictions hinge on some serious injury risk, but no one ever remembers the guy who finished in second plac[...]

Its never too early to start looking toward the fantasy baseball season, and Im here to continue RotoBallers position-by-position rankings analysis series for points league and head-to-head (H2H) formats with the ever-volatile relief pitcher position. The "closer carousel" seems to spin faster and faster every year, and there are very few names in the 'set it and forget it' category. [...]
