Casey Kelly: Everything you need to know

Kelly cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Reno, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. Kelly spent the vast majority of the 2025 season at Reno, where he finished with a 5.63 ERA and 1.65 WHIP through 115 innings. Now that the 36-year-old righty no longer owns a spot on Arizona's 40-man roster, he may elect free agency and look elsewhere for his next opportunity.

The Diamondbacks optioned Kelly to Triple-A Reno on Sunday. Kelly was recalled from Triple-A on Wednesday but didn't make any appearances out of the bullpen in the Diamondbacks' ensuing four games. He'll be swapped off the 26-man active roster for right-hander Nabil Crismatt, who was recalled from Reno to start Sunday's game against the Rockies in Colorado.

The Diamondbacks recalled Kelly from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. Kelly has operated as a starter at Reno this season, starting 14 of the 18 games in which he's appeared, and he'll be a candidate to step into the rotation in place of Anthony DeSclafani (thumb), who was placed on the 15-day IL in a corresponding move. Kelly has a 5.82 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 42:33 K:BB across 85 innings at Triple-A this season. Jake Woodford is also an option to go into Arizona's rotation.
