Joe Kelly leaves game with “lightheadedness”

White Sox pitcher Joe Kelly left the seventh inning of Thursday’s series finale against the Kansas City Royals with “lightheadedness.” 

Kelly came in relief for Dylan Cease after Cease allowed one run through six innings. He allowed a walk and one hit before leaving the game with the trainer. He walked out under his own power. Jose Ruiz came in for Kelly and let up three runs. 

The first-year Sox pitcher left a game against the Colorado Rockies with a biceps injury back in late July, which he recently returned from. 

Kelly’s played in 27 games this season, pitching 24.2 innings. He has a 5.18 ERA and 1.56 WHIP along with a 1-2 record. He’s struck out 33 batters and walked 15 this season.
