PEORIA, Ariz. — Veteran right-hander Joe Kelly says start the season now.

“I’ve seen a lot of players, if you’d ask them, they’re probably 100% ready,” Kelly said after pitching a scoreless inning of relief with one strikeout Saturday. “Maybe timing is off, but body-wise, everyone is up to full-game speed. Pretty rare to see that, especially pitchers.”
