Picks up save Kelly picked up the save Sunday against the Royals. He struck out two over one perfect inning.

Impact Kelly was handed the ball by manager Pedro Grifol for the ninth inning Sunday with Kendall Graveman getting the night off after pitching an inning in each of the last two days. Though Kelly blew his only other save opportunity, he has remained a high-leverage arm for the White Sox but likely won't receive enough save opportunities to warrant fantasy consideration, especially once Liam Hendriks (illness) returns from the 15-day injured list.

Solid in spring work Kelly pitched well in the Cactus League with a 2.25 ERA over eight innings of work in eight appearances.

Impact Kelly did allow eight hits, but he issued just one walk against seven strikeouts while not allowing a homer. The right-hander struggled mightily in his time with the White Sox in 2022 with a 6.08 ERA in 43 appearances with a 53;23 K:BB, but the 34-year-old right-hander has made a habit of bouncing back from poor campaigns with positive ones the following year. Kelly will likely work in a setup role, but he could see some save opportunities with the White Sox having no set stopper to begin the season.
