    • Expected to be fine
      Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said that Kelenic (wrist) is expected to be fine after being removed from Wednesday's 9-0 loss to the Red Sox, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Kelenic went hitless in two at-bats before leaving the game.

      Advice: Kelenic was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning after tweaking his right wrist on a diving catch earlier in the game. However, the outfielder tested out the strength of the wrist and also had X-rays after the contest, and everything checked out fine. Kelenic will be re-evaluated prior to Thursday's game against the Nationals, but he's not expected to miss any starts. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:28 pm
       
    • Jarred Kelenic (wrist) checks out fine Wednesday
      Braves’ manager Brian Snitker told reporters after Wednesday’s game that Jarred Kelenic (wrist) is fine after being pulled from Wednesday’s game against the Red Sox in the eighth inning.

      Advice: There had been speculation that perhaps Kelenic suffered a wrist injury while making a diving catch in the outfield, but Snitker assured everyone that there was no need for the 24-year-old outfielder to take another at-bat with the team facing such a large deficit. Kelenic did undergo precautionary X-rays which came back negative for any fractures. The Braves face a left-hander on Thursday, so there’s a chance that he’ll sit anyways against Mitchell Parker and the Nationals, but fantasy managers shouldn’t expect Kelenic to miss any time.

    • Exits with possible wrist injury
      Kelenic was removed from Wednesday's game against the Red Sox with a possible right wrist injury, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

      Advice: Kelenic made a terrific diving catch in the bottom of the sixth inning but rolled over his wrist in the process. He initially remained in the game and made another catch in left field in the bottom of the seventh but was then lifted for a pinch hitter in the top of the eighth. Atlanta was trailing 8-0 at the time, so the team could just be acting cautiously with Kelenic. The club should have an update on its left fielder after the game.

    • Jarred Kelenic (wrist) lifted for pinch-hitter
      After remaining in the game initially after hurting his right wrist, Jarred Kelenic was removed for a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning Wednesday against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Kelenic played one inning of defense but did not hit again after getting hurt while making a diving catch. That the score was 8-0 might have had something to do with his removal, but we’ll find out more after the game. Rotoworld Wednesday, 12:44 pm
       
    • Jarred Kelenic stays in game after wrist injury
      Jarred Kelenic hurt his right wrist on a diving catch to end the sixth inning Wednesday against the Red Sox, but he was able to remain in the game.

      Advice: Kelenic’s glove hand got bent back as he rolled over. It looked bad initially, as he was rolling around on the ground in pain, but he seemed to recover pretty quickly. Since the catch ended the inning, it wasn’t initially clear whether he would be able to continue. Rotoworld Wednesday, 12:17 pm
       
    • Late addition to lineup
      Meyers has been added to the lineup and will start in center field and bat cleanup Wednesday against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Meyers had been scheduled to receive the day off, but with Alex Bregman (hand) scratched from the lineup, the Astros had an opening. With Meyers filling his usual spot in center field, Mauricio Dubon will shift from center to cover third base for Bregman. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:06 am

    • Getting breather
      Meyers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cardinals, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Meyers looks to be receiving a routine maintenance day after producing two hits and two RBI in the first two games of the series. Houston will go with Mauricio Dubon in center field Wednesday as it attempts to complete the sweep of St. Louis. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:17 am

    • Clutch homer Tuesday
      Bohm went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Brewers in 10 innings.

      Advice: Bohm got the Phillies on the board in the eighth inning, leading off the frame with a 420-foot blast off Elvis Peguero to tie the game, 1-1. It's the first homer since May 19 for Bohm -- he's gone just 11-for-57 (.193) since then following a red-hot start to the season. Overall, the 27-year-old third baseman is slashing .296/.350/.481 with six homers, 50 RBI, 29 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases across 61 games this season. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:07 am

    • Slugs 14th homer
      Alonso went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Nationals.

      Advice: The first baseman took Washington closer Kyle Finnegan deep to left field in the ninth inning to give the Mets an insurance run. Alonso's racked up seven hits, including three doubles and two homers, over the last six games, and since May 7 he's slashing .279/.330/.548 in 26 contests with six of his 14 long balls and 15 of his 31 RBI on the season.
