What happened to Merrill Kelly? Live injury updates for Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks on 8/7/26

Things can come apart in a hurry in the MLB. Going into the sixth inning against the mighty Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly had thrown five scoreless innings without allowing a hit. By the end of the inning he had allowed two hits, two walks, a run, and left the game with a trainer.

Cramps have been a recurring issue for the 37-year-old veteran starter, and in the grand scheme of things, a recurrence would be a best-case scenario. Arizona hasn’t yet announced what is afflicting Kelly, but we are sure to get an update before the night is out.

Stay tuned to DK Network for live updates on Kelly’s injury status.
