7 years agoWashington Nationals reliever Shawn Kelley (elbow) has ulnar nerve irritation in his elbow, the team announced after their game against the Giants on Monday. As a result, a trip to the disabled list is likely for him. Kelley was called into Monday night's game when starter Gio Gonzalez walked Brandon Belt in the bottom of the sixth inning. Kelley immediately gave up a home run to rookie Mac Williamson on the first pitch and then got Austin Jackson to ground out. Kelley then spiked a pitch and was pulled right after that. Kelley has nine strikeouts in six innings with no walks, but he's given up three earned runs on six hits, half of which have been homers. He's good for a hold every now and then, but he's mostly fantasy irrelevant.--Mario Hernandez - RotoBaller
