The Seattle Mariners have some exciting news for fans of their top prospect, Jarred Kelenic. According to reports, the outfielder is expected to begin a rehab assignment with the Tacoma Rainiers next week after making “significant” progress in his recovery from a knee injury.
Kelenic, who was the sixth overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, has been sidelined since late April with a knee injury. He had been rehabbing at the team’s spring training facility in Arizona, and the Mariners have been monitoring his progress closely.
The 20-year-old is considered one of the top prospects in baseball and is expected to make an impact in the majors soon. He was off to a great start this season, hitting .273 with two home runs and four RBIs in 12 games before suffering the injury.
The Mariners are hopeful that Kelenic will be able to return to the field soon and continue to develop his skills. A rehab assignment with Tacoma will give him an opportunity to get back into game shape and prepare for a potential return to the majors.
Kelenic is an exciting young player with a bright future ahead of him. Mariners fans should be excited to see him back on the field soon and look forward to watching him develop into one of the best players in baseball.
