Kelly is not starting Monday against Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly has 10 starts to Stephen Vogt's seven behind the plate thus far this season, though Vogt, who starts Monday, has now started three of the last four contest. The playing-time split could remain close to even going forward, as Kelly has hit just .156/.270/.188 through 37 plate appearances.

Kelly went 0-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 9-5 loss to San Diego. He also pitched the final inning.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly, stuck in an early slump, returned to the lineup Sunday after he was given two games off to clear his head, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. Arizona's starting catcher is hitless over the last 12 at-bats and 5-for-29 (.172) to start the season.

Kelly sits for the second straight game Saturday against San Diego, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly started eight of Arizona's first 11 games but has now sat for three of the last four. His .172/.273/.207 slash line through his first 33 plate appearances doesn't exactly make a great case for any kind of heavy workload, though that sample is of course quite small. Stephen Vogt will catch Saturday.

Kelly is not in the lineup Friday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly started four of the last five games but will take a seat after going 1-for-11 during that stretch. Stephen Vogt will bat seventh and catch for Luke Weaver on Friday.

Kelly is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly has been the primary catcher for Arizona, but he'll take a seat Wednesday after going 1-for-8 with one RBI and one walk in the past three contests. Stephen Vogt will start at catcher and bat seventh.

Kelly is not starting Friday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly started five of the Diamondbacks' first seven games, recording just three hits. Stephen Vogt takes over behind the plate Friday.

Kelly went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

After going hitless over his first 10 at-bats, Kelly has produced three hits, including his first extra-base hit, over his last six plate appearances. While many on the Diamondbacks' roster are slumping to start the season, which could prompt lineup changes, Kelly could have a longer leash than most, even with Arizona promoting catching prospect Daulton Varsho. Varsho's promotion has prompted speculation as to where he will get his at-bats, but in addition to catcher, he can play the outfield and serve as a designated hitter.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo indicated Kelly will be Madison Bumgarner's regular catcher, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly will be the Diamondbacks' regular catcher during the 60-game season, so he may turn out to be a few of the staff's regular backstops. "There are certain familiarities that pitchers and catchers develop with one another," Lovullo said. "Obviously we're going to count on Carson in a very heavy manner. If it goes well, I'm going to continue to stay with it." Kelly went hitless in three at-bats in Friday's season-opening loss to the Padres.

Kelly went 1-for-2 with a walk, a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's spring game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly is 3-for-11 with a double, four runs and an RBI through five spring appearances. The 25-year-old backstop emerged as the Diamondbacks' primary catcher in 2019 after beginning the season as one of three in a rotation. Kelly swatted 18 home runs in 365 plate appearances while proving he can control the game from behind the plate. He returns as the top catcher and should see an increase in at-bats in 2020.

Kelly is not in Sunday's lineup against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly had an impressive season overall, but he hit just .167 with zero home runs in 16 September games. Caleb Joseph will start behind the dish and hit eighth in the finale.
