Kelly (hand) underwent X-rays on his left hand, which came back negative, following Sunday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly left the game in the bottom of the sixth inning after being hit by a pitch on his left hand in the fifth frame. The catcher appears to have avoided any significant damage and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Kelly exited Sunday's contest against the Dodgers in the bottom of the sixth inning after being hit by a pitch in the top of the fifth, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly was hit in the left hand by a 93.6 mph sinker from Tyler Glasnow, remaining in the game for another inning before exiting. Considering he was able to briefly play through the injury, it appears as if Kelly avoided any catastrophic injury, but more information on his status will likely be provided in the near future. In the meantime, Miguel Amaya replaced him behind the plate, batting eighth against the Dodgers on Sunday.

Kelly went 3-for-3 with two home runs, two walks, three total runs and three total RBI in a 16-0 rout of the Dodgers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly made the score 3-0 in favor of the Cubs with a solo shot in the seventh inning, and he tacked on another long ball -- this time a two-run blast -- off position player Miguel Rojas in the ninth. The veteran catcher is already up to four home runs on the campaign, and he's added 13 RBI while slashing a fiery .417/.571/1.042. Perhaps most impressively, Kelly has drawn 10 walks while striking out just three times. The huge start has pushed Kelly into a near-even playing-time split behind the plate with Miguel Amaya, who also went deep Saturday and is off to a solid start offensively as well.

Kelly is not in the Cubs' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly will sit for a second straight game as Miguel Amaya gets the start behind home plate and bats ninth against Dodgers right-ahnder Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Kelly has started the season 7-for-21 with eight walks, five runs scored, two home runs and 10 RBI.

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

EDGE Analysis

Kelly will get some rest for the day game after a night game, allowing Miguel Amaya to receive a turn behind the plate. The veteran backstop has gotten off to a red-hot start to the 2025 season, slashing .333/.500/.762 with an 8:3 BB:K over 30 plate appearances.

Kelly is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Miguel Amaya will receive a turn behind the plate while Kelly rests after starting at catcher in the Cubs' previous two contests. The playing time at catcher has tilted in favor of Kelly so far this season while he's gotten off to a scorching start with four extra-base hits and seven walks through his first 26 plate appearances.

Kelly went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly batted ninth but didn't let that stop him from having a big impact on the game. The veteran catcher slugged his second home run of the season, a three-run shot in the sixth inning, and chipped in another RBI for good measure. Kelly is off to a blistering start with a 1.658 OPS across 15 at-bats, though as a player with a career OPS of .687, regression figures to come in the near future. At the very least, Kelly is making a strong case to earn more playing time over Miguel Amaya.

Kelly hit for the cycle against the Athletics in an 18-3 win Monday, going 4-for-4 with a home run, a triple, a double, two walks, three runs and five RBI.

EDGE Analysis

Per ABC 7 Chicago, Kelly became the first MLB player in history to hit for the cycle in the month of March and just the 17th catcher to accomplish the feat. The plodding backstop got the most difficult hit in the cycle in his final plate appearance, ricocheting a hit off the center-field wall in the eighth inning and reaching third base after the ball rolled on the outfield grass. The triple was just the third of Kelly's 10-year big-league career. He had gone 1-for-6 over two starts prior to Monday's explosive performance.

Kelly is starting at catcher and will bat ninth Monday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly is in line for his second start behind the dish in four days after going 0-for-3 at the dish Friday against the Diamondbacks. He picked up his first hit of the season March 19 against the Dodgers during the Tokyo Series, also managing to draw a walk in the matchup.

Kelly went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly, who signed a two-year, $11.5 million contract with the Cubs in December, connected for his first spring home run in his new uniform. The veteran backstop was brought in to pair with Miguel Amaya, and both players figure to see plenty of playing time, at least to start the season. While Kelly's experience should be valuable for Chicago, he's a limited offensive player with less upside at the plate than Amaya.
