Kelly went 2-for-2 with a walk, two doubles and three RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

It's been an up-and-down season for Kelly, who started the year hot with a 1.347 OPS through the end of April. The veteran catcher's OPS dipped to .620 in June to go along with a .203 batting average, but he's now batting .379 over his last 10 games with four extra-base hits and five RBI. Kelly has been volatile, though he should remain Chicago's primary backstop, at least until Miguel Amaya (oblique) returns in the near future.

Kelly isn't part of the starting nine for Saturday's game against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly will yield to Reese McGuire behind the dish against right-hander Lance McCullers. Kelly had caught back-to-back games, going 3-for-7 with an RBI and two runs scored.

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

EDGE Analysis

Kelly has gone 5-for-12 with a double and two RBI over his past five contests, though he has a .200/.250/.244 slash line through 45 at-bats in June. Reese McGuire will receive another start behind the plate Wednesday for the Cubs.

Kelly is starting at catcher and batting sixth in Monday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

After getting a breather Sunday, Kelly will return to the lineup to face lefty starter Matthew Liberatore in St. Louis. Kelly's current backup, Reese McGuire, launched his fourth home run of the year Sunday in only 12 games, while Kelly has been slumping recently. The latter should remain Chicago's top catcher as long as Miguel Amaya (oblique) is sidelined, but McGuire could carve out a larger role in the short term if he stays hot and Kelly continues to struggle.

Kelly is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly will take a seat after starting three of Chicago's last four contests. In his stead, Reese McGuire will start behind the plate and bat eighth. After a hot start to the season, Kelly is slumping this month, slashing just .171/.209/.220 in 11 June games.

Kelly is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Kelly will get some rest for the series finale while Reese McGuire forms a battery with starting pitcher Colin Rea on Sunday.

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

EDGE Analysis

Kelly has been slumping at the plate recently, going 4-for-37 (.108) with three runs scored over his last 11 games. He'll get a day off Friday against Paul Skenes and the Pirates, allowing for Reese McGuire to draw a start behind the dish.

Kelly went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Kelly is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

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.
