Kelly (groin) will continue his rehab program with Single-A Lowell, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly made his first rehab appearance on Wednesday, tossing a scoreless inning in Single-A Lowell's game against Auburn. He figures to throw relief outings on Friday and Monday for Lowell before a possible call up decision is made. Given the All-Star Break is just around the corner, the 28-year-old will likely make his return to the Red Sox when they begin a series against the Yankees on July 15.
