  • Jarred Kelenic returns to lineup Saturday vs. Nats
    Jarred Kelenic (wrist) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Marsh has headed off to Triple-A Lehigh Valley for the weekend to starting working out with the Phillies overseas in London.

  • Jarred Kelenic (wrist) available off bench
    Jarred Kelenic hit in cage prior to Friday’s game and is expected to be available off the bench against the Nationals.

    Advice: Kelenic’s wrist must still be bothering him some or he’d be in the lineup against a right-hander tonight. Still, this is good news. Unfortunately, the Braves are facing lefties on both Saturday and Sunday, but Kelenic might start at least one of those games anyway. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:05 pm

  • Jarred Kelenic out Thursday due to wrist issue
    Jarred Kelenic (wrist) is absent from the lineup for Thursday’s series opener against the Nationals.

    Advice: Kelenic jammed his right wrist making a diving catch during the ninth inning of Wednesday’s showdown at Fenway Park and will sit out Thursday’s series opener against the Nationals for some extra rest. The 24-year-old corner outfielder underwent precautionary X-rays that came back negative for any fractures, so he’s unlikely to wind up missing more than a handful of games. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Thursday, 1:41 pm
     
  • Held out Thursday
    Kelenic (wrist) isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Kelenic made an early exit from Wednesday's contest after injuring his right wrist on a diving catch in the sixth inning. Initial X-rays came back clean immediately after the game, but Atlanta will err on the side of caution and keep him out for Thursday's series opener. Adam Duvall, Michael Harris and Brian Anderson will start across the outfield with Kelenic out. Rotowire.com Thursday, 12:39 pm
     
  • 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
