April 12: RHP Zack Kelly exits with right elbow pain

In an unsettling scene, Kelly went to the ground in agony after hitting Yandy Díaz with a changeup in the bottom of the fifth inning of Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Kelly clutched his right elbow and appeared to be near tears as he exited the game. The initial diagnosis was right elbow pain.

 

Kelly, who gave up two runs in two-thirds of an inning, has a 3.68 ERA in six outings this season.

Kelly will stay with his teammates through Thursday's series finale and then get examined by Boston's medical staff on Friday in Boston. Manager Alex Cora indicated the Sox will bring in a reliever to replace Kelly on the roster in time for Thursday's contest.

 

April 12: OF Masataka Yoshida scratched with right hamstring tightness

A couple of hours before Wednesday's game at Tropicana Field, the Sox took their rookie left fielder out of the lineup due to what the club deems to be a minor injury.

With a day game looming on Thursday, manager Alex Cora suspects that Yoshida will be held out until Friday night's home game against the Angels.

Yoshida's removal from Wednesday's lineup caused some significant switches. Kiké Hernández moved from shortstop to make his first start of the season in center field, Bobby Dalbec made his second career start at short, Raimel Tapia moved from center to left and Triston Casas made his first career start in the cleanup hole.
