Carson Kelly Stats

Arizona Diamondbacks backstop Carson Kelly is missing from Sunday's lineup to take on Tanner Bibee and the Cleveland Guardians. The 28-year-old has only played four games this year after dealing with a forearm strain to begin the season. Kelly has yet to get a knock through 15 plate appearances. Gabriel Moreno, who was the starting catcher before Kelly returned, is in the lineup and batting seventh. The sophomore is running a strong .279 batting average and has added two homers, 13 runs, 24 RBI, and three steals across 55 games. Moreno will likely split catching duties with Kelly, limiting his value for the rest of 2023, but he's still a great asset in dynasty leagues.

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly (forearm) has been activated from the 60-day injured list to make his season debut Monday against Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Matt Strahm. Kelly suffered a right forearm fracture in spring training but will look to get started on the right foot after a down 2022 season. The 28-year-old hit just .211 with seven homers, two stolen bases, and a .616 OPS across 354 trips to the plate a season ago. A highly-regarded defender, Kelly will help youngster Gabriel Moreno along behind the plate after the 23-year-old handled a heavy workload to this point in the season. He will hit seventh and catch Tommy Henry Monday night in Arizona.

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list. This move is procedural, as he was already on the 10-day IL because of a right forearm fracture suffered during Spring Training. The 28-year-old had a down year in 2022, finishing with a .211 average with 71 strikeouts, so the update isn't alarming for most fantasy managers. Gabriel Moreno, batting .313 with 36 hits, 17 RBI, and 26 strikeouts in 35 games, will continue handling things behind the dish.
