Jarred Kelenic shines at plate, Braves fall short in loss

Jarred Kelenic went 3-for-4 in the Braves' narrow 6-5 defeat to the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact:
He hit a double and scored twice, though he couldn't help his team clinch the win. Despite the loss, Kelenic's performance was a bright spot, showing signs of potential consistency with a multi-hit game that lifted his season batting average to .239. His ability to hit safely in key situations and add runs is a positive takeaway for fantasy managers, but his high strikeout rate and modest power numbers this season still leave some room for improvement. Moving forward, Kelenic's fantasy value remains a bit of a gamble, hinging on his ability to capitalize on games like this and reduce strikeouts.
