Jarred Kelenic Busy On Sunday

Despite recording just one hit in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the division-rival Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic was busy in the box score. He finished the day going 1-for-4 with two RBI, a run scored, a stolen base and a walk. Kelenic missed a good portion of the second half of the season after fracturing his foot after he kicked a water cooler in the dugout in frustration. Since returning from the injured list on Sept. 11, he's gone 8-for-28 (.286) with a double, four RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in nine games (eight starts) for the M's. Seattle is in a furious battle for the final wild-card spot in the American League in the final week of the regular season and are currently half a game back of the division-rival Houston Astros.

Jarred Kelenic Taking A Seat Monday Versus Lefty

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic is not in the starting lineup Monday night against the Oakland A's and left-hander JP Sears. The youngster went 0-for-2 before being replaced by a pinch-hitter in Sunday's series finale and will predictably sit against same-handed pitching on Monday in Oakland. Kelenic recently returned from a broken foot sustained when he kicked a water cooler in the dugout and has three hits, all singles, and a walk across 16 plate appearances since getting back into the fold. For the season, the 24-year-old has hit .249 with 11 home runs, 12 stolen bases, and a .745 OPS across 378 plate appearances. His power and speed should make him an attractive fantasy target next spring.

Jarred Kelenic Back On Friday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 24-year-old sat out of Wednesday's contest after fouling a ball off his foot. Luckily, Kelenic avoided serious injury and is ready to play again after an off day on Thursday. He'll cover left field and bat sixth versus right-hander Bobby Miller on Friday. Fantasy managers who have Kelenic rostered should make sure to get him back in there for this game.

Jarred Kelenic Out With Sore Foot

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the visiting Los Angeles Angels with a sore right foot. It's not the same foot that Kelenic fractured in July while kicking a water cooler, and it's sore after he fouled a ball off of it on Monday. X-rays came back negative. Kelenic is available if the team needs him on Wednesday, but they wanted to give him the day off with another scheduled off day coming on Thursday before the start of a series on Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 24-year-old left-handed hitter should be back in action this weekend against LA. With Kelenic out on Wednesday, rookie Dominic Canzone is in left field and batting seventh against Angels right-hander Andrew Wantz.

Jarred Kelenic Returns From Injured List

The Seattle Mariners reinstated outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and optioned rookie outfielder Cade Marlowe to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. Kelenic will make his return to Seattle after fracturing his left foot while kicking a water cooler in frustration in the middle of July. The 24-year-old post-hype prospect was seeing the ball well during his minor-league rehab assignment with Tacoma, going 11-for-36 with a home run and a stolen base in 10 games. Kelenic should be an everyday starter for the M's in a corner-outfield spot for the rest of the year, making him worth a pickup in mixed leagues if he's still available on the waiver wire. He's returning to a .252/.320/.439 slash line with 11 homers, 45 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 43 runs scored in his 326 at-bats this year.

Jarred Kelenic's Activation Is Imminent

Seattle Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said that outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) is close to being activated from the injured list. "I don't suspect it is going to be too much longer. Could be any day now. It's also we're 3,000 miles away and I'm not sure it is the appropriate thing to do, send him cross country. Minimally, I think you will see him next week," Dipoto said. "He appears to be raking." The 24-year-old will most likely be back with the Mariners when they return to Seattle on Monday. In six minor-league rehab games for Triple-A Tacoma, he's gone 9-for-21 with a home run and a stolen base while playing full games in the outfield the last two nights. Kelenic should return to an everyday role in Seattle's outfield to close out the year.

Jarred Kelenic Looks Ready To Return

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, an RBI, two runs scored and two strikeouts in a minor-league rehab game for Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday night while also playing a full game in right field for the second straight day. The 24-year-old has gone 4-for-9 in the last two games with Tacoma with three doubles, a home run, a walk and four runs scored. He's now played in six rehab games and appears to be ready to return to the big leagues for the first time since breaking his foot on July 19. It would be a surprise if Kelenic isn't back with Seattle by this weekend against the Tampa Bay Rays, and he should return to everyday duties in the outfield to close out the year. The post-hype prospect will be returning to a .252/.320/.439 slash line with 11 homers, 45 RBI, 12 steals and 43 runs in 326 at-bats.

Jarred Kelenic Could Return This Week

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) has been on a rehab assignment since last week, playing right field a couple of times for Triple-A Tacoma. So far, there's been no setback, and there's a chance the former top prospect could return to the big leagues later this week. Kelenic has been on the shelf since mid-July after he fractured his foot. Before going down, the 24-year-old slashed .252/.320/.439 with 11 homers, 43 runs, 45 RBI, and 12 steals over 90 games, the best production of his career. Even if he's not back this week, fantasy managers can expect Kelenic to return soon, and he'll slot right back into the Mariners starting lineup.

Jarred Kelenic Reaches Twice In Rehab Game

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) went 1-for-3 with two runs scored, a walk and two strikeouts in his first minor-league rehab game for Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday. The 24-year-old is making his way back from a fractured foot that he suffered when he kicked a water cooler in the dugout in frustration on July 19. The Mariners aren't going to rush him back, but barring any setbacks, Kelenic should return to a regular role in Seattle's outfield sooner than later. He disappointed in his first two MLB seasons, but Kelenic was turning things around this year before going on the injured list. In 90 games (362 plate appearances) in 2023, he's hit .252 (82-for-326) with 11 home runs, 24 doubles, two triples, 45 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 43 runs scored.

Jarred Kelenic Starting Rehab Assignment

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) was sent to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday to start a minor-league rehab assignment. Kelenic is trying to return after fracturing his left foot while kicking a water cooler in the dugout in frustration around six weeks ago. The 24-year-old left-handed hitter could be back with the M's by next week as long as he doesn't suffer a setback with his foot while playing in minor-league games. The post-hype prospect was having his best major-league season before breaking his foot, slashing .252/.320/.439 with 11 home runs, 24 doubles, two triples, 45 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 43 runs scored in 90 games played. Fantasy managers will want to scoop him up off the waiver wire if he was dropped following his injury.

Jarred Kelenic To Start Rehab Assignment Next Week

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) will start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma next week. Barring a setback on his rehab assignment, Kelenic should be able to return to the Mariners early in September. The 24-year-old ditched his walking boot last week and has been building up his baseball activities ever since. He initially fractured his left foot while kicking a water cooler in the dugout in mid-July. Before the injury, Kelenic was having the best season of his big-league career with 11 home runs, 45 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 43 runs scored while hitting .252 (82-for-326) in 90 games played. He should return to a regular role in Seattle's outfield for the stretch run when he's healthy, so fantasy managers in mixed leagues might want to scoop him up soon if he's available on the waiver wire.

Jarred Kelenic Ditches Walking Boot, Starts Baseball Activities

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) had his walking boot removed on Wednesday and is resuming baseball activities in Arizona. The Mariners are optimistic that he will be able to rejoin the team sometime in early September. Kelenic fractured his left foot while kicking a water cooler in the dugout in frustration and has been out for four weeks now. The 24-year-old will need to continue ramping up his baseball activities before likely going on a minor-league rehab assignment later this month. He's worth stashing in deeper fantasy leagues since he's expected to return this year, but he won't have a whole lot of time to make an impact when he does return. Before the injury, Kelenic was having by far his best big-league season, slashing .252/.320/.439 with 11 home runs, 45 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 43 runs scored in 90 games.

Jarred Kelenic Unlikely To Return Until Early September

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) is expected to be in a walking boot for four to six weeks and is unlikely to return from the 10-day injured list until early September, according to president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto. Kelenic will miss most of the remainder of the regular season after going on the injured list on July 20 with a fractured left foot that he suffered when he kicked a water cooler in the dugout. The 24-year-old won't have much time to contribute to fantasy lineups in September once he's fully healthy, so he's not a must-stash in shallow redraft leagues. Kelenic had slowed down a bit at the plate after a strong first half, and he's currently hitting .252/.320/.439 with 11 home runs, 45 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 43 runs scored in 326 at-bats.

Jarred Kelenic To Wear Boot For 4-6 Weeks

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) was recently placed on the injured list after fracturing his foot while kicking a water cooler. The team announced that Kelenic will wear a boot on his foot for the next 4-6 weeks to allow his foot fracture to heal. That being said, it sounds like an early September return is the best case scenario for Kelenic right now. Cade Marlowe, Dylan Moore and Taylor Trammell will all be in the mix to fill the void left by Kelenic. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Mariners look for a replacement option at the trade deadline with Kelenic out for at least another month.

Jarred Kelenic Placed On 10-Day Injured List With Foot Fracture

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left foot fracture. It was also revealed that Kelenic broke his foot while kicking a water cooler after striking out in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins. Kelenic has had a nice season, hitting .252 with 11 homer runs, 12 stolen bases, and a .759 OPS across 90 appearances on the season. However, the former top prospect has cooled off significantly following a hot start. Since May 1, the 24-year-old is hitting .230 with four homers, seven steals, a 34.5% K%, and a .673 OPS across 64 games, good for an 86 wRC+ that sits 14% below the league average. Outfield prospect Cade Marlowe has been recalled from Triple-A to take Kelenic's spot on the roster.

Jarred Kelenic Absent On Saturday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Houston Astros. The lefty slugger will get a routine rest day here against left-hander Framber Valdez. The Mariners will play matchups and have Dylan Moore cover right field and bat ninth on Saturday. Fantasy managers looking for a DFS option on Saturday should look elsewhere. Valdez has been sharp this season and Moore is unlikely to have a ton of value at the bottom of the order.
