Jarred Kelenic Batting Leadoff Against Yankees
1 year agoSeattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic is starting in left field and is hitting leadoff on Thursday against the New York Yankees and right-hander Domingo German in the Bronx. With the Mariners offense struggling to get anything going, they will give Kelenic his second start out of the leadoff spot this season. Kelenic is delivering as a post-hype sleeper in 2023, hitting .260 (64-for-246) with 11 home runs, 17 doubles, two triples, 34 RBI, eight stolen bases and 30 runs scored in 68 games (274 plate appearances). He hasn't been nearly as good in June, though, going just 10-for-51 (.196) with a homer, eight RBI and 22 punchouts in 15 games played. Kelenic will attempt to extend his modest hitting streak to four games on Thursday.
