Cardinals reliever Joe Kelly took a hit off his pitching hand in the ninth inning of Sunday's 14-3 victory against the Giants. Kelly was checked on the mound and was able to complete the inning.

He told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch after the game that he felt some "slight tenderness" but he will not need an X-ray. Kelly is expected to be available for Monday's home opener against the Reds.
