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.
