Dodgers' Joe Kelly Changes Uniform Number, Leaves No. 17 Open

Move coincides with pending $700 million contract with Shohei Ohtani, former No. 17 for the Los Angeles Angels.

Joe Kelly, a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, appears to be changing his uniform number, leaving No. 17 open.
The Dodgers have a pending $700 million, 10-year contract with Shohei Ohtani, who wore No. 17 with the Los Angeles Angels.
Kelly was initially listed as No. 99 by the Dodgers, then No. 58, and finally without a number.
Kelly's $9.5 million option was declined by the Dodgers last month, leading to a $1 million buyout.
Kelly, a 35-year-old right-hander, had a 1.74 ERA in 11 relief appearances after being obtained from the White Sox.
