June 7, 2025 10:31 AM : 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.
