The Pirates recalled Kelly from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.
The 23-year-old righty will rejoin the big club to give the Pirates extra bullpen help following Braxton Ashcraft's (arm) move to the injured list. Kelly has coughed up five earned runs in 8.1 big-league innings this season and will likely work in a multi-inning relief role as long as he's up with Pittsburgh.

The Pirates optioned Kelly to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.
Kelly's stint in the big leagues lasted just five days, with the right-hander tossing a scoreless inning in relief during his lone appearance in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Dodgers. The Pirates called up right-hander Khristian Curtis from Triple-A to replace Kelly in the bullpen.

The Pirates recalled Kelly from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.
It's the fourth stint in the majors this season for Kelly, with his three prior stays all lasting two days or fewer. The right-hander has struggled in his first three MLB appearances, surrendering five earned runs with a 4:4 K:BB over 7.1 innings.

The Pirates optioned Kelly to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Kelly pitched three shutout innings during Friday's loss to the Reds, but he'll now be pushed off the big-league roster by Isaac Mattson in an effort to keep Pittsburgh's bullpen well-rested. Now with a 6.14 MLB ERA through 7.1 frames, Kelly could still return to the majors later in the year to supply the Pirates with length out of the pen.

The Pirates recalled Kelly from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.
Kelly has made a pair of relief appearances for the Pirates this season, giving up five runs with a 1:2 K:BB over 4.1 frames. The right-hander threw five shutout innings in his last relief outing at Indianapolis last Saturday, so he's prepared to provide length out of the Pittsburgh bullpen, if needed.

The Pirates optioned Kelly to Triple-A Indianapolis after Sunday's 14-5 win against the Brewers, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander was called up from Indianapolis on Friday and allowed three runs over two innings during Sunday's blowout victory. Kelly surrendered two runs over 2.1 frames in his MLB debut earlier this season, so his big-league career is off to a bit of a bumpy start with multiple runs allowed in both of his appearances.
