The Atlanta Braves optioned outfielder Jarred Kelenic to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday and signed free agent Eddie Rosario to fill his spot on the active roster.
Kelenic was recently the subject of controversy after not running hard on a fly ball he believed was a home run in an April 19 game. The ball hit off the top of the right-field wall and Kelenic was thrown out at second base when he likely would have been easily safe.
Braves manager Brian Snitker did not pull Kelenic from the game for his effort, which got the attention of 2023 National League MVP Ronald Acuña Jr.
