May 19, 2025 4:54 PM : Kelly is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
Analysis: Kelly had started at catcher or designated hitter in five of the Cubs' last six games, but he'll get a breather as Chicago opens its series in Miami. Miguel Amaya will get the nod behind the plate and Moises Ballesteros will serve as the Cubs' DH on Monday.
