Rangers designated OF Jarred Kelenic for assignment.

Kelenic’s stint with the Rangers wound up lasting just over one week where he finished 1-for-8 at the dish across seven games. The 26-year-old former top prospect figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and will likely wind up electing free agency to pursue opportunities elsewhere.

Rangers designated OF Jarred Kelenic for assignment.

This is the third time that the Rangers have DFA’d the former top prospect. Each previous time he has returned on a minor league contract and eventually earned another chance with the Rangers. It’s possible that happens again this time around, though his days of fantasy relevancy are in the rearview mirror.

Rangers selected the contract of OF Jarred Kelenic from Triple-A Round Rock.

Kelenic returns for another stint with the Rangers after re-signing with the club back in late July. The 27-year-old hit .213 (13-for-61) with one homer in 26 games between the Rangers and White Sox earlier this season.

Rangers re-signed OF Jarred Kelenic to a minor league contract.

There must be something about the Rangers that keeps bringing Kelenic back. The 27-year-old former elite prospect hit the open market to gauge his options earlier this week before deciding to head back to Triple-A Round Rock. Apparently, no other teams were interested.

Rangers released OF Jarred Kelenic.

This isn’t performance related, as the 27-year-old Kelenic was hitting .404/.469/.684 for Triple-A Round Rock this month. So, he must be receiving interest from another major league team or perhaps a club in Asia. Kelenic hit .213/.304/.295 in 69 plate appearances for the White Sox and Rangers in major league stints earlier this season.

Rangers re-signed OF Jarred Kelenic to a minor league contract.

After electing free agency earlier in the week, Kelenic is back with the Rangers on a minor league deal. He’ll report back to Triple-A Round Rock where he’ll continue to function as extra outfield depth for the Rangers until another need arises in Arlington.

FA Right Fielder #25

Rangers OF Jarred Kelenic elected free agency.

Kelenic passed through waivers unclaimed after going 1-for-8 during a seven-game stint with Texas. The 26-year-old was one of the more promising prospects in the game just a couple years ago, but has yet to find sustained success at the major-league level. He’ll likely continue to get opportunities as a reclamation project, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult to envision him developing into an impact fantasy contributor at this stage.

TEX Right Fielder #24

Rangers selected the contract of OF Jarred Kelenic from Triple-A Round Rock.

Kelenic was signed to a minor league contract on July 1 after he slashed a miserable .226/.305/.321 with 20 strikeouts in 59 plate appearances with the White Sox. He’ll see most of his action against right-handed pitching for the Rangers.

TEX Right Fielder #24

Rangers signed OF Jarred Kelenic to a minor league contract.

Kelenic was cut by the Rangers last week after hitting .226/.305/.321 and striking out 20 times in 59 plate appearances. That’s obviously not very impressive, but it’s interesting that he did have eight barrels and a 55 percent hard-hit rate. Statcast gave him an xSLG of .526. He’ll head to Triple-A for now, but he could see time in the Texas outfield later.

White Sox OF Jarred Kelenic elected free agency.

Kelenic will test the free agent waters instead of accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Charlotte. The 26-year-old former top prospect passed through waivers unclaimed after being jettisoned from Chicago’s roster earlier this week. He hit an underwhelming .226/.305/.321 with one homer and four RBI in 59 plate appearances during a 19-game stint with the White Sox this season.

CWS Right Fielder #24

White Sox designated OF Jarred Kelenic for assignment.

Kelenic is not all that long removed from being considered among the top prospects in baseball, but to say it hasn’t worked out — with the exception of about half a season with Seattle — is an understatement. The 26-year-old will hit the waiver wire, and if he goes unclaimed, he can report back to Triple-A Charlotte or test free agency.

Garrett Mitchell was diagnosed with a right forearm contusion after leaving Sunday’s game.

Mitchell was hurt when he was hit by a pitch on a bunt attempt in the fourth. The Brewers have Monday off and face a lefty on Tuesday, so Mitchell will have some time to rest.

Victor Bericoto will undergo an MRI on Monday, but he believes he avoided any significant damage to his right knee Sunday.

Bericoto left the game against the Red Sox after his knee hit the side wall in left while he was attempting a catch in foul territory. Initial examinations didn’t turn up anything serious, so consider him day-to-day for now.

Willy Adames will undergo an MRI after injuring his left elbow on a slide into home plate on Sunday.

The IL might be a possibility here. It’s poor timing for Adames, as he says his back has started feeling a lot better in recent days. Christian Koss will likely start at shortstop while Adames is out.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo is hopeful Michael Soroka will come off the IL as soon as his 15 days are up.

Soroka, who gave up six runs to the Reds on Saturday, was placed on the IL today due to shoulder inflammation. “He’s going to hopefully be ready on Day 16,” Lovullo said. “The plan is to get him a couple days down, get him back on the bump and miss as few days as possible.”

Jacob Latz worked a scoreless ninth for his 26th save Sunday against the Angels.

Latz gave up a leadoff double to Christian Moore with a two-run lead, but he got out of it after intentionally walking Mike Trout with two outs and striking out Moisés Ballesteros to end the game. He’s pitched eight scoreless innings and earned five saves over his last six appearances.

Elias Díaz had a solo homer and a sac fly Sunday in the win over the Angels.

Díaz has survived the return of Danny Jansen from the IL and today’s promotion of Logan O’Hoppe, but he’s still facing the eventual activation of Kyle Higashioka next month as he looks to hold on to a roster spot. He’s hit .234/.252/.369 with four homers in 55 games since joining the Rangers at the beginning of June.

Yusei Kikuchi was tagged for five runs in five innings Sunday to take a loss to the Rangers in his return from the IL.

Kikuchi, who had been out since the end of April with shoulder inflammation, gave up eight runs in his last rehab start, so this was an improvement. Ezequiel Duran and Elias Díaz homered for two of the 11 hard-hit balls he gave up. Kikuchi is 0-4 with a 6.30 ERA this season. He’ll probably make his next start next Sunday against the Phillies.

Nick Sogard homered, doubled and walked Sunday as the Red Sox defeated the Giants 5-4.

The Red Sox need to free up three roster spots with Roman Anthony, Trevor Story and Isiah Kiner-Falefa all due back this week, but Sogard, who has taken over as Boston’s starting second baseman, has to stick around. He has two homers, four doubles, five singles and six walks in his last six games, raising his OPS from .663 to .827.
