Kelly, 25, is yet to make his major league debut, but has bounced around three organizations throughout his professional career.
Kelly was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the second round of the 2019 draft and worked his way up the organization before being traded to the Texas Rangers. He was then claimed off waivers by the Colorado Rockies in 2024, and spent the 2025 season with the team’s Triple-A affiliate.
He’s now joined the Dodgers on a minor league deal and was assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Kelly is coming off a 2025 season in which he made 34 appearances for the Rockies’ Triple-A affiliate, accruing a 5.63 ERA with 41 strikeouts across 38.1 innings pitched. Overall, in his career at Triple-A, he’s made 67 appearances, sporting a 7.97 ERA.
Kelly was a part of the Futures Game in 2022 and was an MiLB.com Organization All-Star in 2023. He’s still working toward making his MLB debut, and will hope to do it with the Dodgers this season.
Kelly likely received an invitation to big league spring training, where he’ll look to work with the Dodgers coaches and develop into a serviceable major leaguer. Since he signed on a minor league deal, there’s no risk for the Dodgers, who are always looking to add organizational depth, especially on the pitching side of things.
