Carson Kelly News
Detroit Tigers catcher Carson Kelly has impressed the organization with his play during spring training. He has been a solid defender and is slashing .290/.353/.869 with two homers and five RBI this spring. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch recently said that Kelly could get a good chunk of playing time this season. Kelly was once a promising prospect, but he hasn't been able to put it all together at the MLB level. There have been flashes of solid play from Kelly, which is what has kept him around until now. Kelly is likely to split up the playing time with Jake Rogers behind the plate. That could make Kelly worth snagging in two-catcher formats or possibly AL-only leagues.
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.
