Kelly went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.

The power has been noticeably down from 2025, when Kelly went deep 17 times in 111 regular-season contests.

Kelly went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Astros.

Kelly went 3-for-5 with a double and four RBI during Friday's 10-5 win over the White Sox.

He completed the hat trick with a ground-rule double in the eighth that scored Alex Bregman and Seiya Suzuki, concluding a 10-run outburst from the Cubs' offense. Kelly is now batting .281 since the beginning of May, but his .636 OPS in that span and inconsistent playing time both work to limit his fantasy appeal.
