  • Cubs' Carson Kelly: Blasts sixth home run Saturday

    Kelly went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-3 win against the Reds on Saturday.

    Kelly went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Orioles.

The two Chicago catchers have alternated starts the last eight games, which keeps both players fresher but also caps their upside. Based on this recent trend, it seems likely that Kelly will return to the bench for Thursday's matinee.
