Surprise save chance Kelly allowed two earned runs on two hits while striking out one to earn the save against the Blue Jays on Monday.

Impact Kelly surprisingly entered the game in the ninth inning, following Kendall Graveman -- the presumed closer in the absence of Liam Hendriks (forearm). Though Kelly managed to tally his first save of the season and sixth of his career, he made things interesting by allowing a single and a home run with one out. It is worth noting that Graveman was used to face the middle of Toronto's dangerous order, so it would be premature to now say Kelly is definitely the fill-in closer.

Activated Tuesday Kelly (hamstring) was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact He probably wouldn't be the first option, but with Liam Hendriks (forearm strain) out indefinitely, there could be saves available in the Chicago bullpen. Kendall Graveman seems like the most likely option to get the first chance to fill in for Hendriks. Kelly had a rough start to the season but logged four scoreless appearances prior to landing on the shelf.

Expected to return Tuesday Kelly (hamstring) is expected to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Kelly tossed over 20 pitches during a simulated game Sunday, and he'll be able to rejoin the White Sox's bullpen without making any rehab appearances. Over his seven major-league outings prior to his absence, he posted a 9.53 ERA and 2.47 WHIP in 5.2 innings.

On track for activation next week Kelly (hamstring) threw over 20 pitches in a simulated game and could be activated next week, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Lands on injured list Kelly was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a strained left hamstring.

Impact Kelly exited Wednesday's game against the Red Sox with the injury and will now be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. It's unclear exactly how long the right-hander will be sidelined, but he'll be eligible to be activated June 10. Tanner Banks was promoted from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.

Leaves with hamstring tightness Kelly was removed from Wednesday's game against the Red Sox with left hamstring tightness.

Impact Kelly needed only seven pitches to strike out the only two batters he faced during the eighth inning, but he appeared to tweak his hamstring on his last pitch and promptly exited the contest. The severity of the injury remains unclear, and the veteran right-hander will be evaluated further Thursday morning, so he's likely to be unavailable for the series final versus Boston.

Implodes in loss Kelly (0-1) allowed five earned runs on one hit and four walks while striking out one across 0.2 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Yankees.

Impact Kelly entered the game in the eighth inning with the score tied at seven. He retired the first two batters he faced but proceeded to walk the next three hitters, leading to his disastrous outing. Kelly has made two appearances since returning from a biceps injury, and he figures to maintain a high-leverage role in the White Sox bullpen despite this poor outing.
