July 3, 2025 5:28 PM : Kelly isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.
Analysis: Kelly has been on fire since late June, going 8-for-19 with four RBI and two runs scored across his last seven games. He'll step out of the starting nine Thursday, however, allowing Reese McGuire to start behind the dish and bat ninth.
