The Arizona Diamondbacks will have to get through the next ten days without their everyday catcher. The team’s official Twitter account confirmed that Carson Kelly was placed on the 10-day injured list with an oblique injury.
The D-Backs may have signaled their intention to start Daulton Varsho behind the plate in Kelly’s absence by selecting top prospect Alek Thomas’s contract from Triple-A Reno.
The #Dbacks selected outfielder Alek Thomas from the Triple-A Reno @Aces and placed catcher Carson Kelly (strained left oblique) on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 5.
