Losing work to Laureano Kelenic is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Impact Atlanta hasn't revealed that Kelenic is nursing an injury, but the lefty-hitting outfielder will nonetheless find himself on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (David Festa) for the second straight day. Manager Brian Snitker looks to be riding the hot bat in left field, and for the moment, that's Ramon Laureano, who is will stick in the lineup for the 19th time in 20 games after producing a 1.000 OPS dating back to Aug. 8. Kelenic, meanwhile, has provided a .543 OPS during that same timeframe.

AUGUST 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Idle versus southpaw Kelenic isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Giants, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

Impact With left-hander Kyle Harrison set to throw the first pitch for San Francisco, the lefty-hitting Kelenic will step out of Tuesday's lineup. While he rests, Jorge Soler, Eli White and Ramon Laureano will start across Atlanta's outfield.

Brenton Doyle homers and scores go-ahead run as Rockies hand Braves 6th straight loss, 6-5

Brenton Doyle homered and scored the go-ahead run in the seventh inning to help the Colorado Rockies beat the slumping Atlanta Braves 6-5 on Friday night

AUGUST 10, 2024 • Associated Press

Knocks homer in loss Kelenic went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Kelenic is 4-for-19 (.211) with two extra-base hits since the start of August. The outfielder has at least maintained steady playing time in center field following Atlanta's trade for Jorge Soler, but Kelenic has hit no higher than eighth over the last seven games. Atlanta hasn't faced a southpaw in that stretch either, so it's unclear if Kelenic is at risk of losing out on at-bats to Ramon Laureano. In any case, Kelenic's run as a lineup regular could come to a close once Michael Harris (hamstring) completes the rehab assignment he started Tuesday. For the season, Kelenic is sporting a .234/.288/.407 slash line with 13 homers, 34 RBI, 39 runs scored and six stolen bases over 366 plate appearances.

AUGUST 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Loses hold of leadoff gig Kelenic will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Kelenic had occupied the leadoff spot in each of his last 38 starts, and while he supplied a decent amount of pop (.421 slugging percentage) and speed (five stolen bases in six attempts) during that stretch, he got on base at a meager .281 clip and struck out in 27.4 percent of his plate appearances. On Tuesday, manager Brian Snitker told David O'Brien of The Athletic that trade-deadline pickup Jorge Soler would serve as Atlanta's primary leadoff man moving forward, resulting in Kelenic dropping in the batting order. The No. 8 spot isn't ideal from a run-producing or run-scoring standpoint, but Kelenic could still hold some fantasy appeal in deeper leagues if he continues to display the power/speed combo he showcased during his run as the club's leadoff man.

Snaps slump Tuesday Kelenic went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, two walks and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Brewers.

Impact Kelenic entered Tuesday on an 0-for-17 skid over his last four games. He broke out in a big way with his fourth-inning solo shot, earning his first multi-hit effort since July 9. The outfielder is batting just .143 in July, a slump that has him at a .239/.293/.411 slash line for the year after playing well through June. He's added 12 homers, 33 RBI, 36 runs scored, 14 doubles, two triples and six stolen bases through 92 contests.

Clubs 11th homer Kelenic went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

Impact The third-inning shot off Miles Mikolas was Kelenic's 11th long ball of the season, and he appears to be shaking off the slump he was mired in prior to the All-Star break. The 25-year-old outfielder went 0-for-22 in the six games before the break, but after ripping a triple in the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader, he's collected extra-base hits in consecutive games for the first time since July 6-7.
