Kelly is expected to receive more playing time after the Diamondbacks placed Alex Avila (calf) on the injured list, Richard Morin of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly was already getting the bulk of starts the last few weeks, but manager Torey Lovullo said his share will grow for the time being. "It might tick up a little bit," Lovullo said regarding Kelly's playing time. "I look at it in 10-game segments rather than in five games with certain situations. I'd say maybe 75 percent of the games, 70 percent of the games he's going to catch. And I'm excited about that. He's earned that and he deserves that. He's shown that he can handle that workload." Kelly has earned more playing time based on his bat, too, so it's a good time to hop on the catcher. He's slugged .684 with four home runs and nine RBI over his last 13 games.

Kelly is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Arizona's catching picture is less crowded these days after No. 3 backstop John Ryan Murphy was cast off the 40-man roster in late May, but Kelly has still been forced to sit a few times a week with Alex Avila continuing to pick up semi-regular starts. It's possible Kelly sits again Tuesday in favor of Avila, who caught probable starter Jon Duplantier in both of his first turns through the rotation.
