Carson Kelly | Fantasy Outlook

Carson Kelly offers steady playing time but limited power upside for the Cubs

Kelly continues to handle primary catching duties for the second-place Cubs (75-56) as they hold the top Wild Card spot. Over his last 14 days, he has cooled off to a .226 batting average with two RBIs across nine games. Even with the slight dip in form, his everyday role behind the dish remains entirely unchallenged.

Kelly is batting .261 with seven home runs in 97 games this season, significantly beating our baseline projection of a .235 average. While his power has dried up with only one homer over the last 30 days, his solid .341 on-base percentage prevents him from being a liability. Expect his offensive output to stabilize close to our models' expectations.

The Cubs face a six-game slate, visiting Arizona before returning home to battle Cincinnati. Kelly gets enticing matchups against Merrill Kelly (5.37 ERA) and Rhett Lowder (5.25 ERA), but must navigate tough outings against Eduardo Rodriguez (2.65 ERA) and Chase Burns (2.51 ERA). Unless you are competing in deep or two-catcher formats, leave him on the bench. Sit.
