Braves outfielder Jarred Kelenic made a diving catch in left field but injured his right wrist in the process. Although there was initial concern about a broken wrist, Kelenic was able to walk back to the dugout, flex his hand, and high-five teammates, indicating he may have avoided a severe injury. Kelenic was out of the lineup on Thursday due to the wrist issue and missed a second day since straining his right wrist. However, he hit in the cage today and is available tonight, with a possibility of being in tomorrow’s lineup.
