Yankees Sign Ex-Mets Prospect Jarred Kelenic to Minor League Deal
Jarred Kelenic is set to report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after batting .219 in 36 major league games this season.
- On Saturday, the New York Yankees signed outfielder Jarred Kelenic to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
- Kelenic became a free agent two days after the Texas Rangers designated him for assignment on August 23, ending a difficult stint in the majors.
- Despite major league struggles, Kelenic has excelled at Triple-A this season with a.310 average, 13 home runs, and 17 stolen bases, compared to a.219 average in 36 games with the Chicago White Sox and Rangers.
- The move provides outfield depth for the Yankees while navigating injuries to Stanton and Judge, as Manager Aaron Boone manages the roster with a three-game wild card lead.
- While the Yankees do not currently require Kelenic on the major league roster, he could be activated when rosters expand on September 1 as a depth option.
