Outlook Carson Kelly

Carson Kelly remains a steady catching option as the Cubs push for the postseason

Carson Kelly has shown modest production recently, batting .167 with five runs batted in over his last 14 games. The Chicago Cubs sit in second place in the National League Central with a 61-47 record, and Kelly continues to anchor the catching position as the primary starter despite a lengthy list of teammates on the injured list.

His current in-season performance aligns well with his historical career stats and our season projection of an overall .235 batting average with double-digit home run power. While his batting average over short stretches fluctuates, his plate discipline and role security provide a reliable floor at a thin fantasy position.

The Cubs face a busy seven-game week featuring matchups against the Cardinals and Yankees. Kelly will see action across both home and away settings, squaring off against pitching options like Andre Pallante and Gerrit Cole. With a solid slate of games ahead, he remains a viable lineup option. Start.
