Reds' Casey Kelly: Clears waivers
Kelly cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Louisville.

Reds' Casey Kelly: Designated for assignment
The Reds designated Kelly for assignment Thursday.
Kelly had one terrific outing and one poor one with the Reds in his first major-league action since 2018. He's being sent out in favor of a much-needed fresh arm in Brandon Leibrandt.

Reds' Casey Kelly: Finishes off Saturday's win
Kelly was credited with a save in Saturday's 10-2 win over the Pirates after striking out two batters over three perfect innings of relief.
Called up from Triple-A Louisville earlier Saturday, Kelly was summoned from the bullpen after starter Julian Aguiar covered six innings before departing with an eight-run lead. In what was his first MLB appearance since 2018, Kelly made quick work of the Pirates, needing 38 pitches to record his nine outs. Though he was deployed out of the bullpen Saturday, Kelly had been stretched out as a starter at Louisville, and he could be in line to get a look in the Cincinnati rotation with Hunter Greene (elbow) and Andrew Abbott (shoulder) both recently landing on the injured list. The Reds currently have four healthy starters, but with a stretch of six games in five days coming up this week, the team will require two additional starters.

Reds' Casey Kelly: Contract selected by Cincinnati
The Reds selected Kelly's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.
After spending the last six seasons in the Korea Baseball Organization with the LG Twins, Kelly signed a minor-league contract with Cincinnati on Aug. 8. Across his two starts with Louisville, he gave up four runs on eight hits and five walks while striking out two over eight innings. When Kelly takes the mound for the Reds, it'll mark the first time Kelly has pitched in MLB since 2018. Right-hander Alan Busenitz was designated for assignment by Cincinnati in a corresponding move.

Reds' Casey Kelly: Inks MiLB deal with Cincinnati
The Reds signed Kelly to a minor-league contract Wednesday.
Kelly, 34, has spent the last six seasons pitching for the LG Twins in the Korea Baseball Organization, including this year when he's held a 4.51 ERA and 69:25 K:BB over 113.2 innings. The right-hander last appeared in the majors in 2018. He's been assigned to Triple-A Louisville and will likely join the rotation there.

Casey Kelly: Re-signs with KBO team
Kelly re-signed Wednesday with the LG Twins of the Korea Baseball Organization, Jee-ho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency reports.
Kelly was said to be drawing MLB interest early this offseason, but he'll return to the KBO on a one-year, $1.5 million deal. The 34-year-old right-hander has compiled a 3.08 ERA in 875.2 innings (144 starts) since he headed overseas in 2019. He posted a 5.46 ERA in 85.2 major-league innings between 2012-18.

Casey Kelly: Heading to KBO
Kelly signed a contract with the LG Twins of the Korean Baseball Organization on Tuesday, Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net reports.
Kelly spent most of this season at Triple-A Sacramento but did make seven appearances with the Giants, posting a 3.04 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB over 23.2 innings. The 29-year-old has seen major-league action with the Padres, Braves and Giants since debuting in 2012, with 2018 in San Francisco being his longest -- by innings -- and most successful stint.

Giants' Casey Kelly: Solid in spot-start
Kelly (0-3) took the loss while limiting the Padres to two runs on six hits with three strikeouts over five innings Wednesday.
Kelly was afforded a rare start with the Giants opting to push Madison Bumgarner back to Friday to face the rival Dodgers. The swingman needed 71 pitches (47 strikes) to complete five frames, but a lack of run support resulted in his second loss as a starter this year. Despite carrying a 3.04 ERA over 23.2 innings, Kelly doesn't figure into the club's rotation plans in 2019.

Giants' Casey Kelly: Earns start vs. Padres
Kelly will start Wednesday's contest against San Diego, Yahoo! Sports reports.
Kelly will take the place of Madison Bumgarner, who was moved back to Friday in order to pitch against the Dodgers. In his most recent appearance in St. Louis on Sunday, Kelly allowed two runs while striking out two in one inning of relief. He's only made three starts at the big-league level this year, all coming in August.

Giants' Casey Kelly: Candidate to start in near future
Kelly could start Sept. 26 against San Diego, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
The Giants might slip Kelly into the rotation before the season ends, in an attempt to send Madison Bumgarner to the mound against the Dodgers on Sept. 28. Kelly has made five appearances for San Francisco this season, posting a 2.04 ERA with 11 strikeouts over 17.2 frames.

Giants' Casey Kelly: Called up to big leagues
The Giants recalled Kelly from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic Bay Area reports.
With Sacramento's season coming to an end Monday, the Giants will bring Kelly aboard along with fellow Triple-A hurlers Pierce Johnson and Steven Okert to provide some bullpen depth throughout September. Kelly has made four appearances (two starts) for the Giants this season, tallying a 2.16 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 9:3 K:BB across 16.2 innings.

Giants' Casey Kelly: Optioned to Triple-A
Kelly was sent down to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.
Kelly was cast off the active roster upon the return of Dereck Rodriguez (hamstring) from the DL in a corresponding move. During two starts with the Giants over the past week, Kelly allowed five runs (three earned) while striking out six across 10.1 innings. Look for him to rejoin the big-league club as a reliever in September.

Giants' Casey Kelly: Drops second decision
Kelly (0-2) took the loss Wednesday, allowing four runs (two earned) on seven hits over six innings while striking out four as the Giants fell 5-3 to the Mets.
Brandon Crawford had an uncharacteristically bad night with the glove behind Kelly, committing two errors -- otherwise the right-hander would have battled Noah Syndergaard to a standstill. Kelly may have pitched well enough to keep his spot in the rotation even after Dereck Rodriguez (hamstring) comes off the disabled list, and if he stays on turn he would next take on the Diamondbacks at home Monday.

Giants' Casey Kelly: Scheduled to start Wednesday
Kelly will start Wednesday's game against the Mets, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
With Dereck Rodriguez (hamstring) joining the likes of Johnny Cueto (elbow) and Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) on the disabled list last week, Kelly will benefit from a second turn through the San Francisco rotation. Kelly made his first start in the big leagues since 2016 over the weekend against the Reds, scattering nine hits and a walk but allowing only one run over 4.1 innings in a no-decision. He'll likely need a better performance Wednesday to stick in the rotation with Rodriguez slated to return from the DL on Friday.

Giants' Casey Kelly: Holds Reds in check in short outing
Kelly didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-innings loss to the Reds, allowing one run on nine hits and a walk over 4.1 innings while striking out two.
Making his first big-league start since he was a Brave in 2016, Kelly was limited to 73 pitches (49 strikes) but was able to keep Cincinnati from doing too much damage despite a constant flow of baserunners. The 28-year-old has a 1.69 ERA through his first 10.2 innings with the Giants, but his 5:3 K:BB suggests he's been more lucky than good. Nonetheless, he'll probably remain in the rotation for now, putting him on track to make his next start Wednesday on the road against the Mets.

Giants' Casey Kelly: Draws start Friday
Kelly will start Friday's game against the Reds, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Dereck Rodriguez hit the disabled list with a hamstring injury, so Kelly will take his spot in the rotation for at least Friday's game. Kelly's recent five-inning performance in relief vaulted him into consideration for a rotation spot, and the Rodriguez injury opened the door. Kelly did throw 1.1 innings against the Dodgers on Wednesday, so he may not be able to go deep into Friday's start.

Giants' Casey Kelly: Makes case for rotation opportunity
Kelly fired five scoreless innings in relief while allowing two hits and striking out three in Saturday's loss to the Pirates.
Kelly was strong in relief after Ty Blach struggled in a spot-start. The 28-year-old drew praise from manager Bruce Bochy after the game, and was mentioned as a potential option to start next weekend against the Reds. The Giants technically don't need a fifth starter with a scheduled off day Thursday, but the club may opt to see what they have in Kelly as they continue to fall out of contention. The righty posted a 4.78 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 23 starts in the minors prior to his recent callup, so fantasy owners should exercise caution even if the club decides to start him down the stretch.

Giants' Casey Kelly: Contract selected by Giants
Kelly's contract was selected by the Giants on Friday.
After some initial confusion, Kelly was officially called up prior to Friday's contest against the Pirates. He's a candidate to start Saturday against Pittsburgh or be a long-relief option behind Ty Blach. The 28-year-old Kelly has a 6.39 career ERA in 62 major-league innings, the last of which came back in 2016.

Giants' Casey Kelly: Not yet called up
Kelly is with the Giants on their taxi squad but has not yet been called up, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Contrary to previous reports, Kelly is not yet on the Giants' roster. The team is still undecided about who will start Saturday. Kelly could potentially get the call or be available as a long reliever behind Ty Blach.

Giants' Casey Kelly: Recalled from Sacramento
Kelly was called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Kerry Crowley of the Bay Area News Group reports.
Kelly hasn't pitched in a major-league game since 2016 with the Braves, so it's unlikely that he will see any time in high-leverage spots, though there's a chance he could be called upon to start Saturday's contest. Across 23 starts with Sacramento this year, he's logged a 4.78 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with 104 strikeouts in 130 innings.
