Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Losing work to Laureano
Jarred Kelenic is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.The left-handed-hitting Kelenic has picked up just two starts in eight games, even while Atlanta has opposed six right-handed starters during that span.

Kelenic's reduction in playing time comes while he's managed a lowly .176/.240/.294 slash line with a 30.7 percent strikeout rate dating back to Aug. 10.
