Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly departed Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the seventh inning with an apparent leg injury.
The team later announced that Kelly left with a right leg cramp.
After throwing his second pitch of the inning to Chris Taylor, Kelly appeared gimpy and Arizona manager Torey Lovullo and a trainer hustled to the mound.
After a discussion, Kelly departed and was replaced by right-hander Kevin Ginkel.
Part of Arizona’s concern lies in the fact that Kelly recently missed a month due to a blood clot in his right calf. He was activated on July 25 and Tuesday’s start was his fourth since being reinstated from the 15-day injured list.
Kelly allowed six hits and struck out two before exiting in what was a scoreless tie at the time. He was charged with two walks, the second coming when Ginkel threw two balls to Taylor to complete the at-bat.
Kelly, 34, remains 0-10 all-time against the Dodgers in 15 career starts.
