Diamondbacks' Carson Kelly: Begins rehab assignment

This was Kelly's second rehab start, both coming at catcher. He was limited to three innings Thursday due to rainy weather and followed up with seven innings Friday. Kelly is 0-for-5 in his two starts.

Diamondbacks' Carson Kelly: Closing in on rehab assignment
Kelly (forearm) is expected to report to a minor-league affiliate Thursday to begin a rehab assignment, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.
Kelly was cleared to begin participating in simulated games at extended spring training last week, but he now appears set to get some at-bats in an uncontrolled setting. The veteran catcher has been sidelined since fracturing his right forearm in a March 20 Cactus League game and will likely need an extended rehab assignment to regain his timing at the plate and to show the Diamondbacks that he isn't hampered when it comes to throwing out would-be base stealers. Once activated, Kelly will likely settle in as the top backup to Gabriel Moreno, who has fared well during his first season with the Diamondbacks.

Kelly (forearm) served as the designated hitter in an extended spring training game Friday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Kelly is scheduled to DH again Saturday as he works his way back to the majors. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said it would be reasonable to view Kelly like it's the start of spring training games for the catcher.

Diamondbacks' Carson Kelly: Moved to 60-day injured list
Kelly (forearm) was transferred from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list by the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
It clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Austin Adams after Adams had his contract selected from Reno on Saturday. Kelly is out of action with a right forearm fracture, and he isn't expected to be able to return until the late summer months.

Diamondbacks' Carson Kelly: Moves to injured list
Kelly (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.
The 28-year-old suffered a fractured right forearm late in spring training from a hit-by-pitch, so it's no surprise he's opening the campaign on the injured list. It's unclear how long Kelly is expected to be sidelined, though it's worth noting the Diamondbacks didn't immediately place him on the 60-day IL, suggesting a return in May could be possible. Gabriel Moreno and Jose Herrera are beginning 2023 as Arizona's backstops, with Moreno starting Opening Day and likely to see the bulk of the starts.

Diamondbacks' Carson Kelly: Diagnosed with fractured forearm
Kelly was diagnosed Tuesday with a fractured right forearm, Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic reports.
Kelly suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch in Monday's Cactus League game against the White Sox. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo did not offer an estimated recovery timetable, but this could very well lead to a multi-month absence for the 28-year-old catcher. He had been putting together a nice spring offensively, boasting a .320/.414/.520 slash line through 29 plate appearances in exhibition play. Offseason acquisition Gabriel Moreno would seem to be in line for something close to everyday playing time out of the gate in Arizona. Jose Herrera could back him up.

Diamondbacks' Carson Kelly: Leaves with right forearm injury
Kelly left Monday's Cactus League game against the White Sox after being hit in the right forearm area, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
There's no information right now, but Kelly told Mackie that his level of concern is "not minimal." It's the second catcher injury in a few days after Gabriel Moreno left a Cactus League contest with a hit-by-pitch over the weekend, but this one sounds more serious. There should be an update on Kelly's status before Tuesday.
