Joe Kelly turned in a solid performance in his second start for the Cardinals on Saturday, limiting the Royals to two runs on seven hits over 4 1/3 innings of work.
He struck out three and walked one. Kelly allowed single runs in the first and fourth innings, and then pitched into a bases-loaded jam before being removed in the fifth. Through two starts he owns a 2.89 ERA and 7/2 K/BB ratio over 9 1/3 innings. He'll take on these same Royals again in Kansas City on Friday, and could be worth a look in some deeper fantasy leagues.

Cardinals purchased the contract of RHP Joe Kelly from Triple-A Memphis.
Kelly will make his major league debut Sunday against the Indians. The right-hander doesn't miss many bats but throws a heavy, mid-90s sinker that induces a lot of ground balls. He registered a 2.86 ERA and 45/21 K/BB ratio in 72 1/3 innings this season at Memphis.

Joe Kelly will make his major league debut on Sunday against the Indians.
Kelly is filling in for the injured Jaime Garcia, and could get multiple big-league starts if his debut outing goes well. A former third-round pick, he's registered a 2.86 ERA and 45/21 K/BB ratio in 72 1/3 innings this season at Triple-A Memphis. The 23-year-old right-hander should probably be avoided in most fantasy leagues.
