2023 Fantasy Outlook
Kelly was a journeyman reliever earlier in his minor-league career. He gained fastball velocity during the off year in 2020 and came back racking up the strikeouts in 2021 and 2022, culminating with him fanning 72 batters (34.4 percent) in 49.2 innings at Triple-A Worcester before earning his MLB debut last season. In addition to his mid-90s fastball, Kelly sports a plus changeup that has similar movement characteristics to Devin Williams' famous "airbender" changeup. Kelly probably won't get saves as a rookie, but he could offer value in leagues where relievers who post good ratios and strikeouts are useful.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Should soon return to majors
Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican expects Kelly's stay at Triple-A Worcester to be a short one after being optioned Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander has a 2.16 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 16.2 innings for Boston this season, so it's only a matter of time before he's back in the big-league bullpen. Kelly likely won't be in the high-leverage mix for the Red Sox anytime soon, but it's not completely out of the question if the club trades away the likes of Kenley Jansen and Chris Martin, both of whom are pending free agents, this summer.
