After an awkward stride while Jarred Kelenic was running to first base in Friday’s spring training scrimmage against the Chicago White Sox was revealed to be a Grade 2 adductor strain in his left knee.
While Jerry Dipoto did not provide a chronological prognostication, the typical timeline for recovery on this type of injury is three to six weeks. That would obviously impede the ability for Kelenic to force his way onto the Seattle Mariners opening day roster. The timeline for Kelenic’s big league debut was and is one of the most significant storylines heading into Seattle’s spring, with Jerry Dipoto continuing to assert their goal was to start Kelenic in AAA-Tacoma before calling him up.
