Merrill Kelly is hoping for a mid-August return to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Kelly had a 2.19 ERA over four starts before a teres major strain in his throwing shoulder sent him to the injured list.
The right-hander said that \"in my mind, I\'m hoping I\'m on that Tampa, Miami, Boston trip,\" referring to a nine-game Diamondbacks road trip that starts on August 16. \"That seems to be around the right time I might be back in there, but obviously, things can change as we go along.\"
