The Rays optioned Kelly to Triple-A Durham on Saturday. After posting a 5.93 ERA and 1.57 WHIP through 27.1 innings with the Rays, Kelly will lose his place in the big-league bullpen. His departure will make room on the roster for right-hander Adrian Houser, who was acquired in a trade with the White Sox on Thursday.

The Rays reinstated Kelly (glute) from the 15-day injured list Thursday. Tampa Bay optioned right-hander Connor Seabold to Triple-A Durham to make room in the bullpen for Kelly, who had been on the shelf since April 11 due to a left gluteal strain. Kelly proved his health during a three-appearance rehab assignment in the minors and should step into a middle-relief role for Tampa Bay.

Kelly (glute) will begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Tuesday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports. Kelly is ready to pitch in games again after missing more than a month of action with a glute strain. He is expected to rejoin the Tampa Bay bullpen before the end of the month.

Kelly (glute) could begin a minor-league rehab assignment next week, MLB.com reports. Kelly was placed on the 15-day injured list April 11 due to a left gluteal strain, but he had resumed playing catch in recent weeks and had hoped to begin throwing off a mound last Wednesday. The Rays haven't confirmed if Kelly was in fact able to start throwing bullpen sessions, but the right-handed reliever still seemingly has a chance at being ready to return from the IL before the end of the month. Prior to being shut down with the injury, Kelly struck out two batters and gave up two earned runs on two hits and two walks in five innings over his five relief appearances.
