The Cleveland Guardians have signed left-handed pitcher Antoine Kelly to a Minor League contract after he recently made his major-league debut with the Chicago Cubs. Kelly, 26, debuted on July 31 against the New York Yankees, pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings. He was later optioned back to Triple-A and designated for assignment, before electing free agency. The Guardians aim to develop his potential as they strengthen their pitching depth, especially focusing on improving his control, which was an issue in the minors last season.
