The Cubs crushed the Blue Jays 16-2 behind 18 hits and 11 walks, sparked by Carson Kelly’s bases-clearing grand slam in the first inning. Justin Dean later added a bases-clearing triple, and Ben Brown worked six strong innings as Chicago cruised to a season-high offensive showing.
Carson Kelly delivered a pinch-hit, game-winning three-run homer in the bottom of the 6th to lift the Cubs to a 4-2 win over the Mets. Jameson Taillon went six innings with one earned run allowed, Freddy Peralta lasted 5.2 innings with three runs allowed, and Caleb Thielbar closed after Ben Brown’s appearance. The Cubs, now one game over .500, had just five hits but benefited from timely hitting and solid bullpen work, with Palencia sidelined by an injury earlier in the week.
Carson Kelly delivered a walk-off single with the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the ninth to cap a 7-6 comeback win for the Cubs over the Pirates. Earlier, Dansby Swanson and Moises Ballesteros homered in the third, the Cubs totaled 10 hits but left 10 on base, and Michael Busch delivered a tying RBI single in the eighth. Taillon lasted six innings allowing multiple runs, while Palencia closed out the top of the ninth for the Cubs in a tense finish.
The Detroit Tigers have designated catcher/outfielder Eric Haase for assignment due to his poor performance at the plate this season, signing former Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly as his replacement. Haase struggled with a .201 batting average and four home runs, while Kelly also had a subpar offensive season. Haase's defensive skills also fell short, leading to his departure from the team. The Tigers hope Kelly can serve as a backup to Jake Rogers for the remainder of the season.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have designated catcher Carson Kelly for assignment and activated catcher Gabriel Moreno from the injured list. They have also selected right-hander Bryce Jarvis from Triple-A Reno and optioned right-hander Ryne Nelson to Reno. Kelly, who has been with the team since 2019, hit .226 in 32 games. Moreno, who last played on July 22, is batting .270 with three home runs and 28 RBIs. Jarvis, the team's No. 30 prospect, will be making his major league debut. Nelson has a 5.47 ERA in 24 starts this season.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have designated catcher Carson Kelly for assignment, nearly closing the chapter on the Paul Goldschmidt trade. Kelly, acquired in the 2018 trade, has had a mixed performance with the Diamondbacks, batting .230 with 44 home runs and 153 RBI. The trade has not worked out as desired for Arizona, with other players involved also leaving the organization. In addition to Kelly, outfield prospect Kristian Robinson was also designated for assignment. The Diamondbacks made several other transactions, including optioning pitcher Ryne Nelson and infielder Emmanuel Rivera to the minors, activating backstop Gabriel Moreno from the injured list, and purchasing the contracts of infielder Buddy Kennedy and right-hander Bryce Jarvis.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have reinstated catcher Carson Kelly, relief pitcher Joe Mantiply, and outfielder Kyle Lewis from the injured list. In corresponding moves, Lewis, pitcher Kevin Ginkel, and catcher Jose Herrera were optioned to Triple-A Reno following Sunday’s game. Pitcher Anthony Misiewicz was designated for assignment. Kelly has yet to play a game this season after suffering a fractured right forearm in spring training. Mantiply was on the 15-day injured list with a right hamstring strain. Lewis has only appeared in 6 games this year due to an undisclosed illness.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have designated left-hander Anthony Misiewicz for assignment to make room for the reinstatement of catcher Carson Kelly from the 60-day injured list. Misiewicz has a 5.63 ERA in seven appearances for the Diamondbacks this season, but has a stronger track record in his 126 total appearances in the majors. The Diamondbacks will have a week to trade Misiewicz or pass him through waivers. Kelly, who fractured his forearm in Spring Training, will likely share playing time with Gabriel Moreno, who has been filling in behind the dish in his absence.
The Arizona Diamondbacks selected Austin Adams from Triple-A Reno, placed Anthony Misiewicz on the 15-day injured list due to a strained right calf, and moved Carson Kelly to the 60-day IL. Adams earned a hold in his first action of the 2023 campaign, while Misiewicz was charged with three earned runs over 1 1/3 IP in Friday’s 13-3 loss to Pittsburgh. Kelly has yet to play this season after his right forearm was fractured by a pitch late in Spring Training.

The team has selected RHP Austin Adams from Triple-A Reno and placed relief LHP Anthony Misiewicz on the 15-day injured list. Kelly has yet to play a game this season and was originally estimated to be out 6-8 weeks. Adams, who last played in the Major League in April 2022, will see his first action with the Diamondbacks.
Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly has been diagnosed with a fractured forearm after being hit by a pitch in a recent game. The team has not provided a timeline for his recovery, but he is expected to be out for a significant amount of time. Kelly has been the team's primary backstop for the past four seasons, but the Diamondbacks have some depth options on hand via minor league deals, including Gabriel Moreno, who could be ticketed for a larger role in the majors.
