Carson Kelly Stats

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly (oblique) has been doing all catching activities and is also hitting off a tee, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Kelly was placed on the injured list on May 8 after testing showed he had a Grade 1 left oblique strain. He felt something in his left oblique area during batting practice on May 6 and was scratched from the starting lineup that day. It's good news that he's been doing catching activities and even swinging, but there remains no timetable on his potential return to Arizona's lineup. Daulton Varsho has been doing most of the catching with Kelly sidelined, with Grayson Greiner also mixing in occasionally. In 20 games before his injury, Kelly was slashing just .105/.150/.123 with no home runs and one RBI in 57 at-bats.

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly (abdominal) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He was a late scratch on Friday, so he'll miss his second game in a row due to this issue. The 27-year-old has struggled at the plate and is beginning to lose playing time. Daulton Varsho will cover behind the plate and bat ninth versus lefty Kyle Freeland. Fantasy managers can probably avoid Varsho in this matchup, but he'll likely continue getting significant playing time.

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly was scratched from his team's Friday night home game against the Colorado Rockies. The veteran catcher is apparently dealing with abdominal tightness, which will prevent him from taking the field on Friday night. Kelly was slated to serve as the catcher for right-hander Merrill Kelly, who will instead throw to Jose Herrera. Kelly is hitting just .105 with three runs and one RBI across 20 games in 2022.
