“We’re not looking in terms of weeks as what we had hoped for,” Lovullo told reporters Tuesday. “So I think the next step up is a month, more than that.”
Lovullo said it’s “hard to say” if Kelly would be back before the All-Star break in mid-July.
Kelly, 35, is 2-0 with a 2.19 ERA through four starts. He is 50-43 with a 3.75 ERA in 131 starts since making his debut with the Diamondbacks in 2019.
