Diamondbacks' Merrill Kelly progressing toward post-break return from injured list
Ryne Nelson's last two starts were, perhaps, the most promising pair of the rookie's career. In both, he allowed just one run while completing seven innings, racking up strikeouts and limiting walks.
On the offensive end, meanwhile, the Diamondbacks' lone hit has come on a bloop double from Alek Thomas in the third inning.Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly threw a 45-pitch session on Thursday in which he simulated three innings of work, manager Torey Lovullo said, another encouraging step as he works his way back from a blood clot in his leg.Lovullo said Kelly was scheduled to undergo a follow-up ultrasound exam on Thursday to make sure the clot is no longer an issue.
Lovullo intimated that he wanted Kelly to make a rehab start in the minors before returning. Since the minors are on break next week, as well, he wouldn’t be able to do that until July 14.
