Rays right-hander has cleared waivers and been outrighted off the teams 40-man roster, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times ( ). Kelley will report to Triple-A Durham and remain in the organization, as he has chosen to pa s on his right to reject the outright a signment in favor of free agency Kelley has previously been outrighted in his career, giving him the right to turn down future outright a signments. Back in January, Kelley exercised this right by entering the free agent market after the Brewers designated him for a signment and outrighted Jonny Brodzinski Jersey him off their 40-man. The righty reliever signed a minor league deal with Tampa shortly thereafter, and Kelley has been up and down from Durham a few times this season, totaling 15 1/3 innings over 10 games at the Major League level before the Rays designated him for a signment last week. This majors-to-minors shuttle has been a frequent element of Kelleys career over his four MLB seasons, and may have contributed to his 6.75 ERA over 50 2/3 frames of work in the big leagues. Debuting with the Red Sox in 2019, Kelley has also pitched with Philadelphia, Milwaukee, and Tampa Bay in the majors, and he was a member of the Cubs and Braves organizations in 2021 without seeing any time on their active rosters. Despite the lack of succe s in the majors, Kelleys Triple-A numbers are the easy explanation as to why the 30-year-old keeps getting chances with multiple teams. Kelley has a 2.38 ERA over 197 innings at Triple-A, as well as decent strikeout (24.42%) and walk (8.47%) rates. However, Kelley didnt perform as well with Durham this year, as he allowed seven homers over 32 2/3 innings en route to posting a 5.23 ERA. Jacob Trouba Jersey
