Back with team
Kelly was reinstated from the family medical leave list Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Kelly had been away from the team since Sunday. His return will push Tanner Banks back to the minors. Kelly hasn't given up a run in any of his last five appearances, but that's only served to bring his ERA down to 6.42.

A shoulder injury delayed Kelly's 2021 debut until early May. He went on to record the best season of his career, setting personals bests in strikeout and walk rates. A fortunate .227 BABIP played a part as well. Kelly's season ended prematurely in the playoffs with a sore biceps. Kelly has often worked in high leverage scenarios but isn't consistent or durable enough to serve as a team's full-time closer. That isn't likely to change after signing with the White Sox, which already have Liam Hendriks and Craig Kimbrel as closer options, with Kendall Graveman waiting in the wings.
