Description: The Padres' 22-year-old right-hander Casey Kelly will make his big league debut on Monday versus Atlanta. | Insight: Kelly made eight minor league starts this season and pitched well despite an 0-2 record. Look beyond the won/loss record and see that he had 39 strikeouts in 37 2/3 innings while walking just three batters. He could be a September surprise. | | |
