Mon May 12 2014 | 23:06 | Shawn Kelley (back) 'still not right' |
Shawn Kelley (back) remained unavailable to pitch in Monday's game. |
The Yankees had thought Kelley would be ready to go after being unavailable over the last week with a stiff back, but he's still feeling it. "(He's) still not right, manager Joe Girardi said. "He does not have the flexibility to finish his pitches." Consider Kelley day-to-day. |

Shawn Kelley (back) is available to pitch Monday against the Mets. |
Kelley hasn't pitched since last Tuesday due back stiffness, but a precautionary MRI came back clean. He was actually warming up in the bullpen on Sunday and likely would have pitched if the game had gone to extra innings, so it sounds like he's over the issue. |

Wed Apr 16 2014 | 16:01 | Kelley earns fourth save, Yankees beat Cubs |
Shawn Kelley collected his fourth save of the season in the Yankees' win over the Cubs in the first half of Wednesday's doubleheader. |
Kelley gave up a two-out single to Anthony Rizzo in the top of the ninth inning and then Rizzo advanced to second base on fielder's indifference, but Kelley rallied back to strike out Nate Schierholtz and end the threat. Kelley remains a must-own in all standard fantasy leagues until David Robertson returns from the disabled list. |

Sun Apr 13 2014 | 23:18 | Shawn Kelley slams door on Red Sox Sunday |
Shawn Kelley sent down the Red Sox in order on Sunday, preserving a 3-2 victory over the Red Sox. |
It's the third save for Kelley this week who has done an admirable job filling in for closer David Robertson. With Robertson due back on April 22, Kelley will have at least one more week to rack up saves, and should be started in all fantasy leagues until then. |

Sat Apr 12 2014 | 16:17 | Shawn Kelley works scoreless ninth for save |
Shawn Kelley worked a scoreless ninth inning against the Red Sox on Saturday, preserving a three-run advantage and earning his second save of the season. |
Kelley is the man to own at the back of the Yankees bullpen for as long as David Robertson remains sidelined. That may only be for another week however, as Robertson is aiming to return on April 22. |

Thu Apr 10 2014 | 18:01 | Kelley likely unavailable Thursday |
Shawn Kelley is likely unavailable for Thursday's game against the Red Sox. |
Not a surprise, as Kelley threw 31 pitches in Wednesday's loss to the Orioles. Yankees manager Joe Girardi would like to stay away from Adam Warren as well, so he might be forced to play the matchups in a potential save situation. Kelley is still the best bet for saves while David Robertson (groin) is on the disabled list. |

Wed Apr 9 2014 | 23:42 | Shawn Kelley takes loss in ninth |
After entering a tie game in the ninth, Shawn Kelley gave up two runs and took a loss Wednesday against the Orioles. |
Kelley allowed four hits in an appearance for the first time since June 11, 2012. He had given up just one hit in 3 1/3 scoreless innings this season coming in. The Yankees will keep using him as their closer while David Robertson is out, but since he threw 31 pitches tonight, he might not be available Thursday. Perhaps Adam Warren or Matt Thornton will pick up a spot save in his place. |

Tue Apr 8 2014 | 11:12 | Shawn Kelley probably not available Tuesday |
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that Shawn Kelley will "probably" not be available Tuesday. |
Kelley is expected to fill in at closer with David Robertson (groin) on the disabled list, but Girardi would likely to stay away from using him three days in a row. He could play the matchups in the late innings Tuesday. |

Shawn Kelley (triceps) indicated that he felt better after his morning bullpen session on Saturday, and should be available out of the Yankees bullpen on Sunday. |
Kelley hasn't pitched since last Sunday due to a sore triceps in his pitching arm. With the Yankees bullpen depleted, his return should be a big boost to the overall unit. |

Thu Sep 5 2013 | 23:55 | Shawn Kelley dealing with triceps issue |
Shawn Kelley will be unavailable until next week due to a triceps issue. |

Fri Mar 29 2013 | 17:29 | Kelley wins spot in Yankees' bullpen |
Shawn Kelley has been awarded a spot in the Yankees' bullpen. |
Kelley ultimately got the nod over David Aardsma, who was designated for assignment. The 28-year-old had a 3.25 ERA and 45/15 K/BB ratio over 44 1/3 innings last season with Seattle and should do fine as a middle reliever for New York. |

Sat Mar 16 2013 | 15:55 | Shawn Kelley gives up three runs to Phils |
Shawn Kelley gave up his first three runs of the spring Saturday against the Phillies. |
Kelley, who was acquired from the Mariners last month, had pitched five scoreless innings this spring. He's a nice enough choice as the third or fourth right-hander in a major league pen, but since he has options left, the Yankees may well send him down later this month. |

Wed Feb 13 2013 | 19:20 | Yankees acquire Shawn Kelley from Mariners |
Yankees acquired RHP Shawn Kelley from the Mariners in exchange for OF Abraham Almonte. |
Kelley had been designated for assignment last week. The right-hander is signed cheaply at $935,000 and put up a 3.25 ERA and 45/15 K/BB ratio over 44 1/3 innings last year for the M's. He'll work the middle innings with the Yankees. |

Thu Feb 7 2013 | 16:40 | M's designate RHP Kelley for assignment |
Mariners designated RHP Shawn Kelley for assignment. |
The move clears a spot for the newly-signed Kelly Shoppach on the 40-man roster. The Mariners and Kelley avoided arbitration last week by agreeing to a one-year, $935,000 contract. If he is claimed on waivers, his new team will be responsible for his salary for 2013. The 28-year-old right-hander had a 3.25 ERA and 45/15 K/BB ratio over 44 1/3 innings last year, so he should draw interest. |

Shawn Kelley requested $1.2 million and was offered $750,000 from the Mariners when arbitration figures were exchanged Friday. |
Kelley is arbitration eligible for the second time due to his status as a super-two player. He's coming off a solid 2012 campaign where he posted a 3.25 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 45/15 K/BB ratio in 44 1/3 innings. He'll return to his middle relief role with the M's in 2013. |
