Kelly underwent a successful ulnar nerve transportation revision in his right elbow on Tuesday and seemingly hasn't ruled himself out for the season quite yet.

Kelly wound up holding his arm after hitting Yandy Diaz. He was down and appeared to be emotional and holding his arm as he was getting helped off the field. It is tough break for Kelly who worked hard to make the Opening Day roster for Boston. There should be a further update on his status later this week.
