Jarred Kelenic To Start Rehab Assignment Next Week
1 year agoSeattle 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.
