Guardians Sign Left-Hander Antoine Kelly to Minor-League Deal

The Cleveland Guardians signed left-handed reliever Antoine Kelly to a minor-league contract. Kelly, who turns 27 soon, has logged just one career inning in the major leagues. Pitching across Triple-A for the Rockies, Cubs, and Dodgers last season, he posted a 10.28 K/9 and 7.28 BB/9 with a 5.00 FIP. Armed with a mid-90s fastball and slider, Kelly held left-handed hitters to a .575 OPS while allowing an .803 OPS against righties.
