Cubs Shuffle line -up as a Dansby Swanson sinks, Carson Kelly rises

Pittsburgh – Carson Kelly Was the fourth Cub, which stepped onto the plate against Pirates Starter on Tuesday evening, Andrew Heaney – The earliest that a CUBS catcher appeared in the impact regulation this season.

Kelly and colleague Backstop Miguel Amaya I had strong offensive starts, but was kept in the lower half of the order, often directly behind Outfielder Pete Crow Armstrongwhich has come on the basis with a clip of 0.396 in the last 2½ weeks.

“We mainly decided to move Dansby ((Swanson) In the order for the moment and flip-flop him and Carson essentially, as I see it, ”manager Craig Consell said. “(We are) only acknowledge what Carson did at this time and how well he swung the racket.”

Kelly entered 0.517 to 58 record appearances with a ridiculously high basic percentage. He also led the Cubs in Ops (1.371) with a wide lead.

He put the first runs of the game on Tuesday with a Homer with two runs in the fourth inning Seiya Suzuki In the ninth and ended 3-to-5 with three RBI.

Swanson, who generally beats the fifth fatty acid, but was in eighth place, was in a cold route. He only hit 0.157 in April, but ended with a walk and a solo home in eighth place in the 9-0 victory of the Cubs.

“He is on the distant end of the stripes in which he is a batsle,” said Punsell. “He is in one way right now. And then he can wear a team for about 10 days in the good routes and be her best offensive player.

“This is exactly where we are right here.

Before Tuesday, Amaya’s appearance in number 6 against the Rangers at the beginning of this month, when Nico Hoerner I have the day free, was the highest in the order in which a CUBS catcher fought this year.
