Texas Rangers designate Jarred Kelenic for assignment again

Jarred Kelenic, formerly of the Atlanta Braves, has been designated for assignment by the Texas Rangers. This marks Kelenic's second designation for assignment by the Rangers in the current season, after he managed just 17 games and 24 plate appearances with a.200 batting average. Kelenic's tenure with the Rangers follows a difficult stretch since leaving the Braves, where he struggled to maintain consistent offensive production during his time in the majors. With his designation, the Rangers have five days to release him or attempt to send him to the minors, though Kelenic may reject an outright assignment due to his service time. He is expected to become a free agent soon.
