Diamondbacks not viewing Braves series as 'measuring stick'
A manager usually makes a lineup change when a team isn't doing well. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo chose to do so when the team is on a five-game winning streak and tied for the best record in the National League.
Kelly played a rehab game at Triple-A Reno Friday. He was supposed to play five innings but rainy weather cut that intended outing short. Lovullo said he was scheduled to catch another game Saturday, but Kelly was in the Aces' lineup at catcher Friday night. Lovullo praised the play of Gabriel Moreno who has been filling in for Kelly and took a .289 batting average into Friday's game but doubled down on the fact that Kelly will remain the top option at that position when healthy. He said he wasn't sure how the workload would be distributed once Kelly is back in the fold but acknowledged it's a good problem to have."Where we go with him afterward, we're not sure," Lovullo said.
