## Resource

The Texas Rangers just pulled off a strategic move to shore up their outfield, calling up Jarred Kelenic from Triple-A Round Rock after Michael Helman’s finger fracture sidelined him. To make room, infielder Josh Smith was sent down — despite recent playing time assurances — as Kelenic’s defensive versatility and hot bat (.300+ in Triple-A) became too valuable to ignore. Kelenic, a former Mariner, Brave, and White Sox outfielder with 50 career homers, is expected to start in left, freeing Wyatt Langford to move to center. Manager Skip Schumaker emphasized this isn’t punishment for Smith, but a roster adjustment to give him more consistent at-bats. With multiple outfielders banged up, Kelenic’s arrival fills a critical gap. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
