Overview

• Jarred Kelenic failed to hustle on a deep fly ball during Saturday's game, leading to an out at second base after the Minnesota Twins successfully challenged the play.
• Braves manager Brian Snitker did not address Kelenic's lack of hustle, later stating he was unaware of the incident until the following morning.
• Ronald Acuña Jr., recovering from ACL surgery, criticized Snitker in a since-deleted social media post, referencing his own benching for a similar mistake in 2019.
• Kelenic apologized to Snitker the next day, acknowledging his error and vowing to improve his effort in future games.
• Acuña has been cleared to begin cutting as part of his recovery and is expected to return to the Braves’ lineup next month, potentially replacing Kelenic in the starting outfield.
