Carson Kelly Scratched with Illness
Carson Kelly (illness) has been scratched on Sunday due to an illness. As a result, Reese McGuire will enter the starting nine and be behind the dish. He will bat in the nine-hole. Earlier on Sunday, the Cubs officially placed No. 2 catcher Miguel Amaya (oblique) on the IL, which leaves McGuire as the lone healthy backstop this afternoon. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Kelly's status leading up to their next contest on Monday afternoon, facing the Colorado Rockies. Kelly has enjoyed an impressive start to his tenure on the Northside, holding a stellar .301/.425/.612 slash line with nine long balls. Under the hood, he sits in the 92nd percentile in xwOBA. This afternoon, McGuire is worth fading in DFS facing Cincinnati southpaw Nick Lodolo.
