The Red Sox recalled Kelly from Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly will be back with the Red Sox for the first time since late June, as he had been on the shelf throughout July with an oblique injury before being activated and optioned to Worcester on Aug. 2. Since getting reinstated from the IL, Kelly had posted a meager 5.56 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 11.1 innings out of the Worcester bullpen, so he'll likely be ticketed for low-leverage relief work with Boston.

The Red Sox reinstated Kelly (oblique) from the injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Worcester.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox originally sent Kelly down to the minors in late June, but his option was rescinded when he landed on the injured list with an oblique injury. Now that he's been given a clean bill of health, he'll head down to Triple-A once more and serve as organizational bullpen depth.

Kelly (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Greenville on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly tweaked his right oblique during a relief appearance against the Blue Jays in late June, which prompted his placement on the 15-day injured list. The veteran right-hander has recovered enough to embark on a rehab assignment, and he'll need multiple appearances before returning to the Red Sox's bullpen. Kelly posted a 5.56 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB across 22.2 innings prior to his injury.

Kelly (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday and his prior option to Triple-A Worcester was rescinded, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly tweaked his right oblique Sunday, and since he suffered the injury in the majors prior to getting optioned Monday, he'll get to spend his recovery on the big-league IL. The 30-year-old righty has a 5.56 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB in 22.2 innings with the big club.

The Red Sox optioned Kelly (oblique) to Triple-A Worcester on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly was pulled from his relief appearance in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays due to right oblique tightness, and though he had been expected to move to the injured list, the Red Sox have instead deactivated him by sending him to the minors. While Kelly is still likely to miss some time as a result of the injury, the Red Sox's decision to option him could imply that the right-hander isn't expected to miss the full 15 days. Boston reinstated right-hander Jordan Hicks (toe) from the 15-day IL in a corresponding move.

Kelly was removed in the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Blue Jays due to right oblique tightness, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. He retired three of the seven batters he faced and allowed one earned run on two hits and one walk.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly appeared to be grabbing at his back when he was lifted in the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, but it was apparently his side that was the source of his discomfort. According to Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald, Kelly is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday as the Red Sox look to determine the extent of the injuries, but given that even mild oblique injuries often require multi-week recoveries, the 30-year-old right-hander may be headed to the 15-day injured list. The Red Sox are planning on bringing right-hander Jordan Hicks (toe) back from the IL during the upcoming week, so Kelly could be placed on the shelf in a corresponding move.

Kelly was removed from his relief appearance in the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Blue Jays due to an apparent back or side injury, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly entered the game in the top of the fifth inning and completed the frame, allowing one earned run on two hits and one walk while striking out a batter. He then took the mound for the top of the sixth and opened the frame by hitting Toronto's Andres Gimenez with a pitch before he was then visited on the mound by a team trainer. According to McAdam, Kelly seemed to be stretching his lower back or side while speaking to the trainer, and after the right-hander threw two warmup pitches, the decision was made to pull him from the game. The Red Sox should have more details regarding the nature of Kelly's injury later Sunday.

The Red Sox recalled Kelly from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Kelly will likely be ticketed for a low-leverage role in Boston's bullpen. He's previously made seven relief appearances for the big club this season, logging a 9.00 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB in 10 innings.
