The Los Angeles Dodgers reinstated Joe Kelly from the injured list and optioned Victor Gonzalez to Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Wednesday’s game against the San Diego Padres. Kelly joins Julio Urias in returning during this week’s series at Petco Park, and Mookie Betts is expected to follow Thursday.
Kelly was placed on the IL on Aug. 10 for an undisclosed reason. When asked if he could provide any specifics, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he was not at liberty to.
Kelly joined Low-A Rancho Cucamonga this past weekend for a rehab assignment that spanned two appearances, including the first as an opener last Friday.
