Impact Kelly will hit the bench for the third time in four games while the Cubs go with Reese McGuire behind the plate. Dating back to Aug. 10, Kelly is slashing just .149/.226/.149, and his downturn in production appears to have pushed him into a timeshare with McGuire.

Impact The 31-year-old will surrender a second consecutive start at catcher to Reese McGuire on Friday after having started three straight games behind the dish. Kelly has been in a bit of a slump lately, slashing just .224/.288/.224 with six RBI and two runs scored in 21 games since Aug. 1.

Resting for early game Kelly is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Brewers.

Impact Reese McGuire will draw the start behind the dish for the first game of the day, but Kelly should form a battery with starting pitcher Jameson Taillon (calf) in the second contest of the twin bill. Kelly continues to uphold an excellent .819 OPS on the season, but his production has tailed off a bit thus far in August, as the veteran backstop is slashing .256/.347/.256 through 14 games.

Swipes rare base in win Kelly went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Pirates.

Impact Kelly has been effective at the plate this season with 13 home runs and an .830 OPS through 83 games, but speed hasn't been a part of his output, as this was his first stolen base of the year. It was actually the veteran catcher's first steal since 2023, and he only has four total stolen bases during his 10-year MLB career. Kelly figures to keep seeing opportunities in the heart of Chicago's lineup, though he likely won't run too much more often.
