Not in Wednesday's lineup
Kelly is not in the Cubs' starting lineup against the Phillies on Wednesday.
Analyse
Kelly will sit for the second time in three days while Miguel Amaya serves behind home plate and bats eighth while catching pitches from the returning Matthew Boyd. Kelly has gone 15-for-46 (.326) with two home runs, seven RBI, nine runs scored and a 9:10 BB:K since April 1.

Sitting Monday
Kelly is not in the Cubs' starting lineup against the Phillies on Monday.
Analyse
Kelly will get a breather for Monday's series opener after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts against the Mets on Sunday. Miguel Amaya will serve behind home plate and bat seventh while catching pitches from Colin Rea.

Delivers key pinch-hit home run
Kelly went 1-for-1 with a three-run home run off the bench in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Mets.
Analyse
The veteran catcher initially received the day off with Miguel Amaya starting behind the plate, but Kelly was called on to pinch hit against lefty Brooks Raley in the sixth inning and responded with his second home run of the year, breaking a 1-1 tie. Kelly has an outstanding .970 OPS through 17 games, which would easily be a new career high, and he should remain Chicago's clear top backstop with Amaya around to spell him once or twice per week.

Not starting Saturday
Kelly isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.
Analyse
Kelly has notched a base hit in nine of his 11 games since the start of April, but the Cubs will keep him in the dugout to begin Saturday's contest while Miguel Amaya starts behind the plate.
