Merrill Kelly is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 20 (2024). Target Merrill Kelly as a top priority injury stash for fantasy baseball.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 69% of Yahoo! Leagues
ANALYSIS: He's rostered in many leagues, but Kelly might be a guy you want to roster now where still available. He's making a rehab start Tuesday and the goal is 65 pitches or four innings. Rumor has it that if all goes well, he might only make the one start before re-entering the fray for the Diamondbacks.
Kelly has only made four starts for Arizona this year, but seemed well on his way to having a good year: two wins, a 2.19 ERA, a 0.93 WHIP, and 21 strikeouts in 24 innings. The chart below shows Kelly's hard-hit percentage over the years. When he got hurt he was in the 98th percentile for that category. Roster him this week and bolster the middle section of your rotation.
