After leaving in the fifth inning of Wednesday night’s game against the Rays in tears following an apparent elbow injury, the Red Sox have placed reliever Zack Kelly on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.
The Red Sox recalled right-hander Kutter Crawford from Triple-A Worcester to take Kelly’s spot on the active roster.
Kelly was called upon Wednesday night to replace starter Chris Sale. But after two-thirds of an inning, he went down holding his right elbow in pain after hitting Rays designated hitter Yandy Diaz with a pitch.
