Jarred Kelenic: Hits free agency
Jarred Kelenic elected to become a free agent Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.Kelenic has refused Atlanta's outright assignment, choosing to become a free agent instead. The former top prospect slashed only .222/.279/.381 during his two seasons in Atlanta and hit just .167/.231/.300 in 24 games with Triple-A Gwinnett in 2025. Kelenic is still just 26, so he'll get another chance elsewhere, but it's unlikely he'll be guaranteed a regular role in 2026.

Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Off 40-man roster
Jarred Kelenic cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.Kelenic slashed just .195/.275/.268 across 91 plate appearances at Gwinnett after being demoted to Triple-A in early August, and he's now lost his place on the team's 40-man roster. The 26-year-old outfielder also turned in a career-worst .531 OPS in the big leagues during the regular season over 24 games and will likely need to show improvement at the plate in the minor leagues before taking another big-league at-bat.

Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Recalled from Triple-A
Atlanta recalled Jarred Kelenic from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.Kelenic will join Atlanta as a replacement on the active roster for the injured Ronald Acuna (Achilles) and could see plenty of action in right field while Acuna recuperates.

Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Sent down to Triple-A
Atlanta optioned Jarred Kelenic to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.Even with Atlanta missing Ronald Acuna (knee) and Jurickson Profar (suspension), Kelenic finds himself the odd man out in the club's outfield mix. He has slashed only .167/.231/.300 with a 35.4 percent strikeout rate this season and has done very little since arriving in Atlanta last season outside of one big month last June when he had a .900 OPS. Kelenic is still just 25 but is sitting on a career .658 OPS and 30.6 percent strikeout rate in 406 major-league games.

Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Connects for second homer
Jarred Kelenic went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-4 win over the Twins.Kelenic was 0-for-8 over his previous four games and has started to see his playing time diminish amid the slump. The 25-year-old outfielder got Atlanta on the board with a fifth-inning homer Friday, and he's up to two homers, two RBI, five runs scored and a .163/.250/.326 slash line over 48 plate appearances this season. Kelenic is strictly a strong-side platoon option, and in the long run, he could become a bench outfielder once Ronald Acuna (knee) is ready to make his season debut.

Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Getting afternoon off
Jarred Kelenic is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.Though the Blue Jays are sending a right-hander (Chris Bassitt) to the hill for a day game after a night game, the lefty-hitting Kelenic will head to the bench. Kelenic is slashing just .171/.275/.286 (65 wRC+) over 35 plate appearances against right-handers this season, and his ongoing struggles could cost him his strong-side platoon role once Alex Verdugo is called up from Triple-A Gwinnett.
