Jarred Kelenic Ditches Walking Boot, Starts Baseball Activities
2 years agoSeattle 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.
