He did a good job with the opportunity, setting down the Royals in order while striking out a pair. The 34-year-old is turning back the clock this year, posting a 2.70 ERA and 0.60 WHIP with 19 strikeouts over 13 IP. He hasn't allowed...

Chicago White Sox pitcher Joe Kelly has been placed on the paternity list as part of a flurry of roster moves on the south side. It has been a tough start to the season for the right-hander but better times should be on the horizon. While Kelly owns a 7.71 ERA in just 4 2/3 innings of work, he also sports a 2.93 xERA, 3.82 FIP, 2.45 SIERA, and a hefty 28.6% K-BB%. He's missed a good chunk of the season so far with a groin injury and was recently brought off the 15-day injured list. In addition ...

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Joe Kelly (groin) was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right groin strain. The move was made retroactive to April 9. Kelly has made three appearances this season, going 0-1 with a bloated 10.13 ERA. Pitcher Keynan Middleton's contract was selected from Triple-A Charlotte and right-hander Jonathan Stiever was outrighted to Charlotte in corresponding moves. It looks like Reynaldo Lopez is the team's first choice for save opportunities for now, so...

The team is still without right-hander Liam Hendriks who continues to undergo treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The organization doesn't have a timetable for his return, but hopefully he'll be able to pitch at some point. Until then, it sounds like the White Sox plan to go closer-by-committee. The primary candidates are Kendall Graveman, Joe Kelly, and Aaron ...

Jake Diekman and Reynaldo Lopez will see more setup opportunities with Kelly sidelined. Diekman and Lopez are speculative ...

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Joe Kelly picked up his first save of the season in Monday's 8-7 win over the Blue Jays. Kelly came in to pitch the ninth inning up by three. He struck the first hitter out, but then allowed a single and a two-run home run before getting the final two outs on ground outs. It was the White Sox's first save opportunity since closer Liam Hendriks (forearm) was placed on the injured list, and it is interesting that Kendall Graveman pitched the eighth inning. ...
