The Atlanta Braves optioned outfielder Jarred Kelenic to Triple-A Gwinnett and signed free agent Eddie Rosario to replace him on the active roster. Kelenic faced criticism for not hustling on a fly ball during an April 19 game, which caught the attention of MVP Ronald Acuña Jr., highlighting perceived double standards in player treatment by manager Brian Snitker. Kelenic, struggling with a .167 average this season and previously traded to the Braves, was once a top prospect, while Rosario returns to Atlanta after a successful stint in 2021, expected to serve as a bench player until Acuña’s return from injury.
