The guys seem confident that Kelenic is out for 3-6 weeks, and subsequently will not see Major League action until late April at the earliest and late May/early June as the worst case scenario. Kelenic has said that he’s back in 7 days and I haven’t seen an officially, reported timeline, or am I missing something?
OMG listening to these 3 pronounce “Kelenic” while trying to figure out who they were talking about was painful
