Cubs' Carson Kelly: Idle Friday
Kelly is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Pittsburgh.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Bounces back with two hits in loss
Kelly went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Phillies.
After getting a breather Tuesday, Kelly returned Wednesday and delivered his first multi-hit effort since May 24. In 10 games since that last two-hit performance, the catcher had gone just 2-for-30 with six strikeouts. Kelly still has a solid .255 batting average and .868 OPS, thanks to a scintillating start to the season, and he should remain Chicago's clear No. 1 backstop as long as Miguel Amaya (oblique) is sidelined.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Kelly is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Philadelphia.
Kelly batted seventh Monday -- which is the lowest he's hit since April -- and is out of the lineup altogether Tuesday as he battles through a 2-for-30 slump. Reese McGuire is catching and batting ninth for the Cubs.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Slides down to No. 7 spot
Kelly is starting at catcher and batting seventh in Monday's game against the Phillies.
Kelly had been batting cleanup some recently but will slide down in the order Monday as he tries to break out of a slump. Over his last 10 games, the veteran backstop is batting just .138 with a .435 OPS. Kelly's season-long numbers still look pretty good due to a hot start, and he should be in no risk of losing playing time in the short term, though the eventual return of Miguel Amaya (oblique) could squeeze Kelly if he continues to struggle at the plate.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Not in lineup
Kelly is not in the Cubs' starting lineup against the Tigers on Saturday.
Kelly will get a breather after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's 3-1 loss to Detroit. Reese McGuire will serve behind home plate and bat ninth while forming a battery with Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Exiting starting nine

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Moves up to third in order
Kelly is starting at catcher and batting third in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Kelly had been batting cleanup recently but will now move up to the No. 3 spot for the first time all season. The veteran has had a fantastic start to the year with a .927 OPS and nine home runs through 37 games. While Miguel Amaya is still in the mix behind the plate, Kelly has emerged as the team's top option due to his strong offensive production.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Out of lineup Sunday
Kelly is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
It's likely just a rest day for Kelly, who went 0-for-10 with a walk while starting the previous three games. Reese McGuire will step in behind the plate to catch for veteran righty Jameson Taillon on Sunday.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Back in Wednesday's lineup
Kelly (illness) is starting behind home plate and batting fifth against the Rockies on Wednesday.
Kelly is back in the lineup after being omitted from Tuesday's starting nine due to an illness, though he did pinch hit for Reese McGuire in the ninth inning. Kelly has slashed .241/.328/.389 with 11 runs, two home runs and three RBI in 61 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Remains out of lineup
Kelly (illness) was omitted from the Cubs' lineup against the Rockies on Tuesday.
Kelly did not play Sunday and Monday after being scratched from Sunday's lineup due to an illness. This will be the third straight game Kelly is absent due to the illness, but he may be available off the bench, as Miguel Amaya (oblique) is on the 10-day injured list. Reese McGuire has the start behind the dish and is batting ninth.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Absent again Monday
Kelly (illness) didn't play in Monday's game against the Rockies.
Kelly wasn't listed among the Chicago starters for Monday's series opener as he continues to deal with an illness. Reese McGuire handled the catching duties Monday and would presumably be in line for another look behind the dish Tuesday if Kelly is unable to go. He can continue to be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Scratched with illness
Kelly was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds due to an illness, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
The 30-year-old homered after replacing an injured Miguel Amaya (oblique) in Saturday's contest, but Kelly will now sit out after falling ill at some point after that game. Reese McGuire, who joined the active roster Sunday when Amaya was placed on the injured list, will instead start behind the plate for the Cubs. Once he shakes off the illness, Kelly should see the bulk of the opportunities at catcher after he had previously been working in a timeshare with Amaya.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Goes deep in loss
Kelly went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Reds.
Kelly entered the contest in the fifth inning for Miguel Amaya, who suffered an oblique strain on a throw to second base. Amaya will be headed to the injured list, which paves the way for Kelly to see even more playing time. He's sporting a stellar 1.037 OPS to go along with nine home runs in 32 games.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Getting breather Saturday

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Giving way to Amaya on Wednesday
Kelly is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
With Miguel Amaya running hot at the plate of late, Cubs manager Craig Counsell has turned the catcher spot into more of a timeshare. Kelly will take a seat for the second time in the series while Amaya gets a chance to build on the five-RBI performance he delivered in Monday's 8-7 loss.
