Carson Kelly Absent Friday
Carson Kelly is out of the team's lineup for their series opener against the visiting Seattle Mariners on Friday. Reese McGuire will be behind the plate and batting ninth in his absence while the Mariners run out right-handed hurler George Kirby to the mound. The veteran has scuffled at the dish recently, batting a paltry .104 (5-for-48) over 14 appearances since May 27, and hit .203 as a whole across the month of May. Kelly's plate discipline has improved in 2025, but the dismal stretch has brought his overall average down to an undesirable .238.
