Joe Kelly exited the White Sox' game against the Red Sox in the eighth inning Wednesday with left hamstring tightness.

Kelly will be reevaluated Thursday. He struck out both batters he faced, including Trevor Story looking.
"They are going to examine it and get a feel," manager Tony La Russa said.
"But nobody said it would be easy. We’ve gone through this before. We’ll wait and see how what kind of hamstring [issue]."
