Carson Kelly - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Receiving Tuesday off Kelly is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Dodgers.

Impact Kelly went 0-for-4 in Sunday's contest but has been one of the biggest stories in baseball early this season with six homers and a 1.502 OPS through 49 plate appearances. The 30-year-old and Miguel Amaya continue to split playing time behind the plate, however, with Amaya getting the start Tuesday.

X-rays negative on hand Kelly (hand) underwent X-rays on his left hand, which came back negative, following Sunday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Kelly left the game in the bottom of the sixth inning after being hit by a pitch on his left hand in the fifth frame. The catcher appears to have avoided any significant damage and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Exits early after HBP Kelly exited Sunday's contest against the Dodgers in the bottom of the sixth inning after being hit by a pitch in the top of the fifth, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Kelly was hit in the left hand by a 93.6 mph sinker from Tyler Glasnow, remaining in the game for another inning before exiting. Considering he was able to briefly play through the injury, it appears as if Kelly avoided any catastrophic injury, but more information on his status will likely be provided in the near future. In the meantime, Miguel Amaya replaced him behind the plate, batting eighth against the Dodgers on Sunday.

Cubs play the Dodgers after Busch's 4-hit game

The Chicago Cubs play the Los Angeles Dodgers after Michael Busch had four hits on Saturday in a 16-0 win over the Dodgers

APRIL 13 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Continues to mash Kelly went 3-for-3 with two home runs, two walks, three total runs and three total RBI in a 16-0 rout of the Dodgers on Saturday.

Impact Kelly made the score 3-0 in favor of the Cubs with a solo shot in the seventh inning, and he tacked on another long ball -- this time a two-run blast -- off position player Miguel Rojas in the ninth. The veteran catcher is already up to four home runs on the campaign, and he's added 13 RBI while slashing a fiery .417/.571/1.042. Perhaps most impressively, Kelly has drawn 10 walks while striking out just three times. The huge start has pushed Kelly into a near-even playing-time split behind the plate with Miguel Amaya, who also went deep Saturday and is off to a solid start offensively as well.
