Kelly hit his grand slam as part of a seven-run first inning for the Cubs against Toronto starter, Kevin Gausman. The catcher reached base four times, adding a pair of walks, and finished with three runs scored and six runs batted in. Kelley is batting .282 with four home runs and 26 RBI in 56 games this season.

Carson Kelly went 3-for-5 with four runs batted in, lifting the Cubs to a 10-4 win over the crosstown-rival White Sox on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Kelly had RBI singles in the fourth and seventh innings and then hit a two-run, ground-rule double in the eighth to pace the Cubs' offense. The veteran backstop was just 2-for-19 in his previous six games. It was Kelly's second three-hit game of the year and his four runs batted in established a new season high. He is batting .299 with two home runs and 17 RBI in 32 games this season.

Carson Kelly went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored to help the Cubs to an 8-7 win over the Phillies, in 10 innings, on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Kelly's three-hit game was his first such effort of the season and he has now hit safely in seven of his last eight games. Over his last eight contests, Kelly is hitting .379 (11-for-29) with two doubles, two home runs, and seven runs batted in. For the year, Kelly has his average up to .333 (17-for-51) with a .932 OPS and a 12:11 K:BB ratio. However, with the Cubs carrying three catchers, Kelly is still fighting for regular playing time, although he seems to be the primary choice at the moment for innings behind the dish.

Carson Kelly broke a 1-1 tie with a pinch-hit, three-run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning as the Cubs defeated the Mets, 4-2, on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Kelly replaced Moises Ballesteros when the Mets summoned Brooks Raley from the bullpen with two on and two out in the bottom of the sixth. He hammered the first pitch he saw from Raley over the center field wall - a 405-foot shot - that gave the Cubs a 4-1 lead. It was his second home run of the season and he is now hitting .340 (17-for-50) with 10 runs batted in across 17 games. All three catchers - Ballesteros, Kelly, and Miguel Amaya - are swinging the bat well and will continue to split catching duties and starts at designated hitter among the three of them.
