Jarred Kelenic batting ninth in Braves debut Friday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jarred Kelenic is starting in left field and batting ninth in Friday's season opener against right-hander Zack Wheeler and the Philadelphia Phillies.
What It Means:
The left-handed hitting Kelenic will work at the bottom of the order against righties. The Braves acquired the 24-year-old from the Seattle Mariners in the offseason. Kelenic is expected to platoon in left field with fellow new signing Adam Duvall this season.
numberFire's models project Kelenic for 7.7 FanDuel points on Friday afternoon.
