Slides down to No. 7 spot
Kelly is starting at catcher and batting seventh in Monday's game against the Phillies.
Analysis
Kelly had been batting cleanup some recently but will slide down in the order Monday as he tries to break out of a slump. Over his last 10 games, the veteran backstop is batting just .138 with a .435 OPS. Kelly's season-long numbers still look pretty good due to a hot start, and he should be in no risk of losing playing time in the short term, though the eventual return of Miguel Amaya (oblique) could squeeze Kelly if he continues to struggle at the plate.

Not in lineup
Kelly is not in the Cubs' starting lineup against the Tigers on Saturday.
Analysis
Kelly will get a breather after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's 3-1 loss to Detroit. Reese McGuire will serve behind home plate and bat ninth while forming a battery with Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon.

Moves up to third in order
Kelly is starting at catcher and batting third in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Analysis
Kelly had been batting cleanup recently but will now move up to the No. 3 spot for the first time all season. The veteran has had a fantastic start to the year with a .927 OPS and nine home runs through 37 games. While Miguel Amaya is still in the mix behind the plate, Kelly has emerged as the team's top option due to his strong offensive production.
