Kelly went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

His last hit was the biggest one, as the backstop banged a one-out single into right field off Colten Brewer to bring home Nick Ahmed with the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. Kelly's hitting .308 (4-for-13) in the early going, and while Arizona's three-headed catching committee makes it tough for any of them to stand out from a fantasy perspective, the 24-year-old seems the most likely of the bench to eventually emerge with something close to a starter's workload.

Kelly is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly was expected to play fairly frequently after coming over in the Paul Goldschmidt trade, but he's so far started the fewest games out of Arizona's catchers. Alex Avila has three starts and John Ryan Murphy (who starts Tuesday) has a pair, while Kelly has started just a single game.

Kelly is not in the lineup Monday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly made his first start of the season Sunday, but he'll return to the bench for Monday's series opener as Alex Avila checks back into the lineup. The backstop is 2-for-6 with a double and RBI through three appearances (one start) this season.

Kelly is on the bench for the third straight game Saturday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly is the only member of the Diamondbacks' catching trio yet to receive a start. John Ryan Murphy started on Opening Day, with Alex Avila starting the next two games.

Kelly had a pinch-hit double to plate the game-winning run in Arizona's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Dodgers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly did not start either of the first two games of the season and is not expected to make his first start until Sunday, when he'll catch former Cardinals teammate Luke Weaver, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. "I want to put Carson in the best situation possible for potentially his first start," manager Torey Lovullo said. "I'm thinking long and hard of having him pair up with Luke. I know they know one another, they already feel comfortable with one another. That's something I'm definitely thinking about." Kelly was the presumed No. 1 catcher after the Diamondbacks acquired him from the Cardinals in the Paul Goldschmidt deal, but that designation may not happen until later. John Ryan Murphy caught Zack Greinke on Opening Day and Alex Avila, who started Friday, is expected to catch Zack Godley on Saturday.

Kelly isn't in Friday's starting lineup against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly will sit for the second straight game with Alex Avila named the starter behind the dish. It remains to be seen how Arizona will manage the three catchers on the active roster.

Kelly is not in the Opening Day lineup against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

With the Diamondbacks carrying three catchers, it will be difficult to figure out how much playing time Kelly can be counted on for in the early going. John Ryan Murphy is getting the start behind the dish, catching Zack Greinke and hitting eighth.

Kelly has gone 8-for-29 at the plate with five doubles, no home runs and an RBI in 11 Cactus League games.

EDGE Analysis

There was some thought the Diamondbacks might carry three catchers into Opening Day as they have the past two seasons, but those plans may have changed after the recent signing of outfielder Adam Jones, who is slated to fill one of the team's available bench spots, according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. If that's the case, Kelly could have a slightly clearer path to steady at-bats than initially believed, though it's still likely manager Torey Lovullo sticks with a fairly even timeshare between the young backstop and Alex Avila in that scenario. Kelly has shown some excellent plate discipline during his time in the minors and brief cups of coffee in the big leagues, but he doesn't project as a plus source of batting average or power and will provide most of his value on the defensive end.

Kelly is expected to split time with two other catchers in 2019, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

General manager Mike Hazen confirmed the Diamondbacks are expected to stick with a three-catcher rotation in 2019, leaving Kelly to fight for playing time with Alex Avila and either John Ryan Murphy or Caleb Joseph. It's unclear if the split will be similar to 2018, when Jeff Mathis made 61 starts, Avila 57 and Murphy 44, but Kelly figures to replace Mathis as the primary option. Given Kelly's middling power, his value could be limited to deeper or two-catcher formats depending on how his playing time shakes out.

Kelly was traded from the Cardinals to the Diamondbacks along with Luke Weaver, Andrew Young and a draft pick in exchange for Paul Goldschmidt.

EDGE Analysis

This is excellent for Kelly's fantasy value, as he was relatively blocked in St. Louis, but now joins a team that had Alex Avila and John Ryan Murphy as the incumbents behind the dish. Kelly's defense is generally regarded as above-average, but his stock has dipped in the past calendar year, as he logged a 120 wRC+ at Triple-A in 2017 and followed that up with a 107 wRC+ in a return trip to the Pacific Coast League in 2018. He has a .154 average and zero home runs in 131 MLB plate appearances, but has a chance to be relevant as a low-power/decent-average option this season, particularly in two catcher leagues.
