GAME LOG

INJURIES
Coughs up lead Kelly allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit while striking out three over two innings in Monday's 9-8 extra-innings loss to Colorado.
Impact Kelly breezed through the ninth inning of a tie game but gave up a game-tying home run in the bottom of the 10th. It was the fourth lead Boston's bullpen has blown during its road trip to begin the second half -- the 'pen went onto blow a fifth lead in 12th inning when the Rockies walked it off. Kelly has pitched well, but he's been forced into higher leverage spots with two late-game options injured and closer Kenley Jansen not making the trip due to a pre-existing heart condition that gets exacerbated by high altitude.

Activated from IL The Red Sox reinstated Kelly (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Sunday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact Kelly has been out for most of the season while recovering from an elbow surgery he underwent in April. He allowed eight runs over six innings during his rehab assignment and has been deemed ready to join Boston's bullpen for the final week-plus of the season. The Red Sox optioned Nick Robertson to Triple-A Worcester and designated Kyle Barraclough for assignment as corresponding moves.

Shifts rehab to Double-A Kelly will move his rehab assignment from High-A Salem to Double-A Portland on Wednesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact Kelly began the assignment with Salem on Sept. 1 and gave up three earned runs on three hits and five walks while striking out three over two innings across his three appearances. Though he needs more time to regain command coming off an elbow procedure that he underwent in April, Kelly showed enough during his time at Salem to get bumped up to Double-A. He'll eventually move his rehab assignment to Triple-A Worcester before likely making his return from Boston's 60-day injured list at some point later this month.

Undergoes nerve procedure The Red Sox announced Tuesday that Kelly underwent a successful ulnar nerve transposition revision in his right elbow, Jen McCaffrey of The Athleticreports.
Impact The procedure was performed by Dr. Jeffrey Dugas at The Andrews Institute in Birmingham, Alabama. Kelly has no timetable for a return at this point, but the right-hander told reporters near the end of April that his hope is to return in four months. If there are no setbacks, Kelly could be a late-innings option for the Boston bullpen near the start of September.

Targeting September return Kelly (elbow) said Thursday that he will be sidelined for four months, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact Kelly is scheduled to undergo surgery to repair the ulnar nerve in his right elbow, but he will reportedly be a "full go" once four months have passed following the procedure. If the Red Sox are in a position to make the postseason by then, Kelly could make a return to the bullpen. Otherwise, the team could decide to shelf him for the season and give him more time to recover.
