  • Braves move Jarred Kelenic up to leadoff spot
    Jarred Kelenic is batting leadoff for Saturday’s game against the Rays.

    Advice: Kelenic has been bumped up to the leadoff spot in the wake of Michael Harris II hitting the injured list with a hamstring strain. It’s a nice temporary boost for the 24-year-old former top prospect’s fantasy outlook, if he can capitalize on the opportunity. He holds a pedestrain .706 OPS four homers and one steal in 54 games this season. Rotoworld Today, 10:24 am
  • Moves up to leadoff spot
    Kelenic will start in center field and bat leadoff in Saturday's game versus the Rays.

    Advice: With Michael Harris (hamstring) joining Ronald Acuna (knee) on the shelf, Atlanta has lost each of its last two leadoff hitters against right-handed pitching. Kelenic will get the next crack at the job, which is quite a promotion given that he hadn't previously batted higher than seventh this season. This is also his first start of the season in center field. Rotowire.com Today, 10:23 am
  • Taking seat Saturday
    Hurtubise is absent from the lineup for Saturday's game in Milwaukee.
