18 Carson Kelly C

Kelly remains on the bench Monday against the Rays.

Kelly started back-to-back games for just the second time all season Friday and Saturday but has since been on the bench for two straight. There's no reason to believe a true starting catcher will emerge in Arizona any time season, even with John Ryan Murphy making his second straight start Monday

Kelly heads to the bench Sunday against the Rockies.

Kelly started the first two games of the series, just the second time all year he's gotten the nod in back-to-back contests. John Ryan Murphy starts behind the plate Sunday.

Kelly is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees.

Kelly will stick on the bench for a second consecutive game as the Diamondbacks continue to rotate between three catchers. Caleb Joseph is starting behind the dish and hitting eighth in this one.

Kelly is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Yankees.

Kelly has started in back-to-back games just once this season. John Ryan Murphy gets the call behind the plate.

Kelly is not starting Saturday against the Cubs.

Kelly's 11 starts behind the plate in Arizona's first 28 games represent a team high, but his .200/.234/.333 line hardly makes a good case for a larger role. John Ryan Murphy will start behind the plate Saturday.
