Kelenic is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
The lefty-hitting Kelenic typically sits when Atlanta faces off against left-handed starting pitchers, but the young outfielder will cede his spot in the lineup to Adam Duvall while right-hander Emerson Hancock takes the hill for Seattle. Atlanta may just have wanted to open up playing time for Duvall, who hadn't started since last Friday while the club had faced off against right-handers in each of the previous four games.
Kelenic is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.
Lefty Logan Allen is pitching for Cleveland, so Kelenic will unsurprisingly start Friday's contest on the bench. Adam Duvall will receive another look in left field while batting ninth.

Kelenic is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
As has typically been the case this season, the lefty-hitting Kelenic finds himself on the bench to begin Monday's series opener while the Marlins bring a southpaw (Ryan Weathers) to the hill. Platoon mate Adam Duvall will replace Kelenic in left field and will bat seventh.
Kelenic is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.
Kelenic is 2-for-13 with six strikeouts over his past four games and will sit Friday since lefty Andrew Heaney is starting for Texas. Adam Duvall will receive another start in left field as the pair of outfielders continue to platoon the position.
Kelenic is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Marlins.
Kelenic will hit the bench for the third time in four games, with all three absences coming while Atlanta has faced left-handed starting pitchers. The 24-year-old looks to be in a strict platoon in left field with the right-handed-hitting Adam Duvall, who gets the starting nod Sunday.
