5 months agoArizona Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly (shoulder) will throw a three-inning simulated game on Wednesday. Kelly is getting close to making his return to Arizona's starting rotation after suffering a right-shoulder strain that has kept him out since late April. Barring a setback as he continues to stretch out his right arm, the 35-year-old veteran should be back in the desert by mid-August. Fantasy managers should grab Kelly off the waiver wire now if he's available, as he has the potential to be a high-end rotation arm when he's fully healthy. Before hurting his shoulder, he went 2-0 to begin the 2024 campaign with a strong 2.19 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with 21 strikeouts and just six walks in 24 2/3 frames over four starts. Kelly went 12-8 with a 3.29 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and a career-high 187 punchouts in his 30 starts for the Snakes a season ago.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
