Merrill Kelly Leaves Early With Leg Cramp
1 year agoArizona Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly (leg) left his start early on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a right-leg cramp. Normally a leg cramp wouldn't be considered very serious, but Kelly just missed a month with a blood clot in his right calf. If this injury is related at all, it could send the 34-year-old starter back to the injured list. The good news is Kelly was strong in a no-decision before departing, tossing six shutout innings while allowing six hits, walking two and striking out two to drop his season ERA to 3.05. Hopefully his leg cramp turns out to be nothing significant and he's able to make his next start in a great matchup next Monday against the last-place Colorado Rockies.
