Merrill Kelly Injury: Exits early Sunday

Kelly exited Sunday's contest against the Cubs in the bottom of the sixth inning due to right leg cramping.

Kelly tossed 5.2 innings of one-run ball, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out five batters before leaving the game. The right-hander didn't seem to be too inhibited by an injury prior to his departure, as he retired the final 16 batters he faced in the contest. He can be viewed as day-to-day heading into his next projected start, which is expected to fall next weekend versus Atlanta.
