by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com
(4/15/13) Cardinals pitcher Joe Kelly made his first appearance since last Tuesday on Monday night against the Pirates. After dealing with a hand injury, he worked two scoreless innings in a 10-6 win.
The right-hander gave up just one hit and struck out one.
Kelly lowered his ERA to 6.35.

| No X-rays needed for Joe Kelly |
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(4/8/13) Cardinals reliever Joe Kelly took a hit off his pitching hand in the ninth inning of Sunday's 14-3 victory against the Giants. Kelly was checked on the mound and was able to complete the inning.
He told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch after the game that he felt some "slight tenderness" but he will not need an X-ray. Kelly is expected to be available for Monday's home opener against the Reds.

| Joe Kelly loses out on rotation battle |
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com
(3/25/13) MLB.com reports Shelby Miller has beat out Joe Kelly for the final spot in the Cardinals' rotation.
Kelly allowed two runs on two hits over two innings of work in Monday's Cactus League appearance against the Twins.
The 24-year-old has a 5.54 ERA in five outings this spring and is expected to serve in long relief to begin the year for St. Louis.

| Cardinals pitching battles clear up |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(3/25/13) Cardinals rotation candidate Shelby Miller didn't get off to a good start on Monday in a Grapefruit League outing against the Twins. He finished strong, however, and may have cemented a spot in the rotation.
Miller gave up a run in the first inning but that was all he would allow over 4 1/3 frames. He surrendered just the one run on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts and his ERA on the spring is now at 3.94.
Joe Kelly, also in the running for the final rotation spot, pitched the sixth and seventh innings and allowed two earned runs on two hits and a walk. His spring ERA is now at 5.54.
Miller may have done enough Monday to secure the starting nod, while Kelly appears destined to pitch in long relief to open the year for the Red Birds. Look for Miller to appear next in a minor league game Saturday with Kelly heading to Arizona with the rest of the club.
The Cardinals have not decided when Miller, if he does win the No. 5 spot, would make his first start of the regular season. It could either come in the fifth game or on April 10.

| Cardinals nearing fifth starter decision |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(3/25/13) The Cardinals still must decide who the No. 5 starter role will go to and that decision could come Monday, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Shelby Miller starts Monday against the Twins in Fort Myers and Joe Kelly, the other possibility, will appear in relief.
Miller could take the job with a solid performance, but if he struggles and Kelly pitches well that could change things. With closer Jason Motte's availability in question to begin the year, the Cardinals have extra space in the bullpen for a long reliever, a role which both Kelly or Miller could fill.
Whichever pitcher gets the starting nod will remain in Jupiter to appear in a minor league game on Saturday. The reliever will head to Arizona with the team on Friday. St. Louis has yet to decide if the No. 5 starter will start the fifth game of the season or if they will wait for the turn to come up on April 10.

| Joe Kelly was a staple of the Cardinals rotation for most of 2012 and really didn't do anything to lose his job in September. But between Jaime Garcia's return from the DL, Chris Carpenter's miraculous recovery and Lance Lynn's second chance in the starting rotation, Kelly quickly became an afterthought, banished to the bullpen for the final two weeks and beyond. And now, even with Kyle Lohse and Carpenter (again) out of the picture, he still faces an uphill battle for a rotation spot thanks to top prospects Shelby Miller and Trevor Rosenthal, who showed with their contributions late last season that they're just about major-league ready. Of course, that's not such a bad thing for Fantasy owners. After all, Miller and Rosenthal are the ones with all the upside. Kelly, though a hard-thrower, doesn't have strikeout-per-inning potential and, if his minor-league track record is any indication, is too hittable to maintain a WHIP under 1.30. He'd be adequate in Fantasy, but not the type of pitcher who'd make or break your draft. For now, you can leave him for NL-only leagues. (Updated 2/5/13) |
