Arizona Diamondbacks starting catcher Carson Kelly sustained a fractured forearm after getting hit by a pitch during an exhibition game Monday.

Manager Torey Lovullo confirmed the fracture to reporters Tuesday but would not give a timeline on Kelly’s return.

Kelly exited Monday’s game against the Chicago White Sox after getting hit by a Gregory Santos pitch in the fourth inning.

Kelly was hitting .320 with a .934 OPS in 10 spring training games.

He came to Arizona in the trade that sent Paul Goldschmidt to St. Louis in December 2018 and is batting .223 lifetime with 43 home runs in seven seasons.

Kelly was sidelined for six weeks in 2022 with a Grade 2 oblique injury. He also sustained a broken toe and fractured wrist that landed him on the injured list in 2021.
