Top Carson Kelly News

  • Cubs' Carson Kelly: Receiving rest Wednesday

    Kelly is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

    Miguel Amaya will step in behind the plate for Kelly, who will be rested after making starts each of the past three days. Kelly is off to a scorching start to April, having recorded a hit in each of his starts while slashing .364/.488/.545 in 10 games overall.

  • Cubs' Carson Kelly: Slugs first home run

    Kelly went 2-for-4 with a walk, a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Phillies.

    Just like he did last year, Kelly is off to a scorching hot start in 2026 with a .333 batting average and .922 OPS through 15 games. However, unlike 2025, the power hasn't been there for the catcher in the early going, as this was his first home run of the year. Kelly still seems to be locked in at the plate, and he should remain Chicago's top backstop ahead of Miguel Amaya, giving the former plenty of fantasy utility.

  • Cubs' Carson Kelly: Walks it off against Pittsburgh

    Kelly went 2-for-5 with a double and RBI in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Pirates.

    Making his 10th start over the first 15 games of the season, Kelly doubled in the fourth inning before providing the game-winning, walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the ninth. Kelly is now slashing .308/.426/.385 with three doubles, four RBI, four runs scored and an 8:8 BB:K across 47 plate appearances.

  • Cubs' Carson Kelly: Getting breather Saturday

    Kelly isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

    Kelly hit a single and walked three times during Friday's loss to extend his hitting streak to five games, but he'll remain on the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Miguel Amaya will catch instead for starter Edward Cabrera and bat seventh.

  • Cubs' Carson Kelly: Doubles, scores in win

    Kelly went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Rays.

    Kelly extended his hitting streak to four games with the multi-hit effort, and he's now batting .281 for the season with a .705 OPS. The veteran catcher has appeared in 10 games so far, with Miguel Amaya appearing in seven. Kelly has the slight edge for playing time at the moment, though the Cubs can get both bats in the lineup by having one or the other serve as the DH and relying on Moises Ballesteros to serve as the backup behind the plate.

  • Cubs' Carson Kelly: Absent from lineup

    Kelly is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

    Kelly has been behind the dish for three of the Cubs' first five games this season but will yield catching duties to Miguel Amaya on Tuesday. Amaya is in the nine spot in Chicago's lineup.

  • Cubs' Carson Kelly: Sitting down Saturday

    Kelly isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Washington.

    After going 1-for-3 with a walk in Thursday's loss, Kelly will retreat to the dugout Saturday while Miguel Amaya makes his first start of the season behind the plate, batting ninth.

  • Cubs' Carson Kelly: Hits first spring home run

    Kelly went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Padres.

    Kelly connected in the fifth inning for his first home run of the exhibition slate. The veteran catcher got off to a scorching hot start in 2025 before eventually cooling off, but he still finished with a respectable .761 OPS and 17 home runs across 111 regular-season games. Heading into 2026, Kelly should be Chicago's top backstop again with Miguel Amaya serving in a complementary role. Amaya dealt with a myriad of injuries last year and could push for a larger chunk of playing time this season if he stays healthy, which would allow Kelly to stay fresher but might reduce his fantasy ceiling.

  • Cubs' Carson Kelly: On bench Friday

    Kelly is out of the lineup for Friday's game against St. Louis.

    Kelly will yield to Reese McGuire behind the dish for Friday's series opener. It looks to be just a rest day for Kelly, who had caught four consecutive games leading up to the contest.

  • Cubs' Carson Kelly: Resting up Saturday

    Kelly isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cincinnati.

    Kelly will receive a day off Saturday after going 2-for-4 with a strikeout during Friday's loss. Reese McGuire will catch for starter Javier Assad instead and bat ninth.
