Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reported that “it was determined the pitcher is simply dealing with some inflammation in the shoulder, which had stiffened up on him during his start against the Orioles Tuesday night.” This news will not change Red Sox interim general manager Torey Lovullo’s mind, as he stated that Kelly will still not pitch again for the rest of the season because of the issue.
