Kelly went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The Diamondbacks were shut down by Pittsburgh starter Joe Musgrove and didn't get on the board until Kelly's solo shot in the eighth off reliever Richard Rodriguez. Kelly has hit safely in five straight starts, going 8-for-16 with three homers and four RBI. For the season, he's hitting .250/.316/.486 over 79 plate appearances.

Kelly is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly will take a seat in the series finale following a productive showing at the dish in Tuesday's 6-3 loss. The young backstop reached base three times in the contest while notching a pair of extra-base hits, including his second home run in as many starts. John Ryan Murphy will settle in behind the dish Wednesday.

Kelly went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly's solo blast in the fourth inning tied the game briefly. It was the second straight start in which he's homered. Kelly's playing time has ticked up since Alex Avila (quadriceps) landed on the injured list, but Avila could return as soon as this weekend. That would re-establish Arizona's three-catcher system and reduce the number of at-bats for Kelly, who his batting .316 (6-for-19) with two homers and three RBI over his last five starts.

Kelly remains on the bench Monday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
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 is not starting Saturday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
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 starts behind the plate Saturday.

Kelly is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly will be on the bench for the second straight day with the Diamondbacks giving each of their three catchers a turn behind the plate to close out the series in Pittsburgh. Though Kelly paces all the Diamondbacks' backstops in starts this season, the three-way timeshare will continue to put a cap on his fantasy upside.
