Overall
Summary
Jarred Kelenic, 26-year-old former top-10 draft pick, was recalled by the Chicago White Sox from Triple-A Charlotte on May 5, 2026, to fill a roster vacancy created by Everson Pereira's pectoral injury. After struggling in spring training (.179 BA) and early Triple-A play (.202 BA in 26 games), Kelenic showed improvement in his final 10 minor league games (.333 BA, 5 HR). Since being called up, he is 4-for-14 (.286) in six games with the White Sox, including a 2-for-3 performance with a two-run double and walk on May 13. Kelenic is facing his former team, the Seattle Mariners, and will bat seventh in right field. The organization emphasized the importance of strike zone control and accessing his best swing mechanics.
