Hard-throwing reliever Joe Kelly is closing in on an agreement to return to the Los Angeles Dodgers, a source told ESPN on Saturday, confirming multiple reports. The deal, still pending the completion of a physical examination, is expected to be for one year, according to the New York Post.

Kelly, 35, is heading into what would be his third stint as a Dodger. He originally joined them on a three-year, $25 million contract in December 2018 and was a key figure on the 2020 team that ended the COVID-19-shortened season with a championship.
