EDGE Analysis

Kelly did not play Sunday and Monday after being scratched from Sunday's lineup due to an illness.

Kelly (illness) didn't play in Monday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly wasn't listed among the Chicago starters for Monday's series opener as he continues to deal with an illness. Reese McGuire handled the catching duties Monday and would presumably be in line for another look behind the dish Tuesday if Kelly is unable to go. He can continue to be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Kelly was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds due to an illness, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old homered after replacing an injured Miguel Amaya (oblique) in Saturday's contest, but Kelly will now sit out after falling ill at some point after that game. Reese McGuire, who joined the active roster Sunday when Amaya was placed on the injured list, will instead start behind the plate for the Cubs. Once he shakes off the illness, Kelly should see the bulk of the opportunities at catcher after he had previously been working in a timeshare with Amaya.

Kelly went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly entered the contest in the fifth inning for Miguel Amaya, who suffered an oblique strain on a throw to second base. Amaya will be headed to the injured list, which paves the way for Kelly to see even more playing time. He's sporting a stellar 1.037 OPS to go along with nine home runs in 32 games.

Kelly isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly has been alternating starts behind the dish with Jacob Amaya as of late, and after going 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's contest, Kelly will give way to his timeshare partner Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

With Miguel Amaya running hot at the plate of late, Cubs manager Craig Counsell has turned the catcher spot into more of a timeshare. Kelly will take a seat for the second time in the series while Amaya gets a chance to build on the five-RBI performance he delivered in Monday's 8-7 loss.

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

EDGE Analysis

Kelly had started at catcher or designated hitter in five of the Cubs' last six games, but he'll get a breather as Chicago opens its series in Miami. Miguel Amaya will get the nod behind the plate and Moises Ballesteros will serve as the Cubs' DH on Monday.

Kelly isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly will give way to Miguel Amaya behind the plate Saturday after going 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's win.

Kelly went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Friday's 13-3 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly had cooled down a bit recently after a scorching hot start to year, as he came into Friday's contest batting just .182 with a .593 OPS in May. After the two-hit effort, the veteran catcher is now sitting with a strong .299 average and 1.068 OPS through 28 games overall. Kelly should continue to see plenty of playing time, but more regression is likely on the way based on his career numbers, and Miguel Amaya should remain heavily involved behind the plate for the Cubs as well.
