Jarred Kelenic lost his cool and took out his frustration on a cooler.

And now it’s going to cost him.

The Seattle Mariners placed Kelenic on the injured list Thursday with a fractured left foot – an injury he sustained after kicking a water cooler following a ninth-inning strikeout the night before.

Mariners manager Scott Servais didn’t have a timetable for how long the centre fielder will be sidelined, but it’s possible he could be shelved for several weeks for a Mariners team that entered play Thursday 5 1/2 games out of the AL's second wild-card spot.

The team doesn’t believe he’ll need surgery.

An apologetic Kelenic arrived at the ballpark Thursday in a walking boot and was remorseful for his outburst.

“I let the emotions get the best of me there. I just feel terrible, especially for the guys,” Kelenic said through tears. “I just let the emotions get the best of me and I just let them down and take full responsibility for it. It’s on me. It just can’t happen.”

Kelenic was injured Wednesday in the Mariners’ 6-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins. With nobody out and two runners on and his team trailing by three in the ninth, Kelenic struck out on a nine-pitch at-bat against closer Jhoan Duran.

Upon returning to the dugout, an upset Kelenic took out his frustration by kicking a cooler.

An X-ray revealed the fracture.

Selected sixth overall in the 2018 MLB Draft, Kelenic is in his third season in the majors – all with the Mariners – and batting .252 with 11 homers, a team-leading 24 doubles and 45 RBIs in 90 games.

He got off to a fast start to the season, hitting seven home runs in his first 21 games, but has been stuck on 11 homers since June 9.

In the 31 games since his last home run, he’s batting just .216 with 41 strikeouts.
