Red Sox pitcher Joe Kelly left his start in the middle of the third inning, with tightness in his biceps, according to a report by the Boston Globe's Alex Speier.
Kelly faced 15 batters in 2.2 innings, allowing seven hits and three earned runs. He was removed from the game with tightness in his arm muscle that kept him from throwing anything except fastballs.
Afterward, Kelly said he's had the problem before. He wasn't too concerned about it, saying, "usually, it doesn't last long."
Kelly didn't think he'd need an MRI on the arm.
After the game, manager John Farrell didn't seem too worried about the injury. The Boston Globe's Pete Abraham reported that Farrell said Kelly would be reevaluated on Tuesday, and his next start may be pushed back.
Kelly has an 11.05 ERA so far this spring.
