Relegated to Indy The Pirates optioned Kelly to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Kelly pitched three shutout innings during Friday's loss to the Reds, but he'll now be pushed out of the bullpen by Isaac Mattson in an effort to keep Pittsburgh's bullpen well-rested. Now with a 6.14 MLB ERA through 7.1 frames, Kelly could still return to the majors later in the year to supply the Pirates with length out of the pen.

Recalled from Triple-A The Pirates recalled Kelly from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.

Impact Kelly has made a pair of relief appearances for the Pirates this season, giving up five runs with a 1:2 K:BB over 4.1 frames. The right-hander threw five shutout innings in his last relief outing at Indianapolis last Saturday, so he's prepared for length out of the Pittsburgh bullpen, if needed.

Returns to Triple-A The Pirates optioned Kelly to Triple-A Indianapolis after Sunday's 14-5 win against the Brewers, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander was called up from Indianapolis on Friday and allowed three runs over two innings during Sunday's blowout victory. Kelly surrendered two runs over 2.1 frames in his MLB debut earlier this season, so his big-league career is off to a bit of a bumpy start with multiple runs allowed in both of his appearances.
