Back with Diamondbacks
Kelly agreed to a two-year, $40 million contract with the Diamondbacks on Sunday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Impact
The 37-year-old right-hander was traded by the Diamondbacks to the Rangers in July, and he'll now return to the desert for an eighth season. Kelly should step back in as Arizona's ace after posting a 3.52 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 167:48 K:BB across 184 innings last season.

Hit hard in loss
Kelly (12-9) took the loss Sunday against Miami, surrendering three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over 4.1 innings.
Impact
The veteran right-hander cruised through the first three frames, allowing only two hits, but unraveled in the fourth and fifth, giving up five hits (including three doubles) and all three of his runs before being lifted. Once a steady innings-eater for Texas, Kelly has now failed to complete six innings in three consecutive outings and has struggled overall, yielding 26 hits and 12 earned runs across just 13 innings during that stretch. The 36-year-old now owns a 3.52 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 167:48 K:BB across 184 innings.

Bumped up to start Sunday
Kelly will start Sunday's game against the Marlins, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact
Patrick Corbin was lined up to start, but he'll have his turn skipped due to the Rangers having an off day Thursday. Texas is clinging to very slim playoff hopes, so the team will instead turn to Kelly, who has a solid 4.06 ERA and 1.22 WHIP since being acquired at the trade deadline.

Lasts three innings vs. Astros
Kelly (12-8) took the loss Tuesday against the Astros, allowing six runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out one over three innings.
Impact
Kelly never fully settled in, and his outing unraveled in the fourth when he allowed three runs to score on five consecutive hits on just 12 pitches without recording an out before being lifted from the game. A runner the right-hander left on base would also come around to score, saddling him with his highest run total allowed in a start since April 3, when he was tagged for nine by the Yankees. It also marked Kelly's shortest outing since 2022, a discouraging result for a Texas team fighting for playoff positioning. The 36-year-old will look to rebound in his next scheduled start against the Twins, a matchup with added weight given the Rangers' loss Tuesday.
