Player Outlook
Rowdy Tellez looked well on his way to a second straight 30-homer season in 2023 after putting eight over the boards in April. Things mostly went downhill after that, though. The 28-year-old missed six weeks of action with forearm and finger injuries and by the time he returned in late August Carlos Santana had taken over at first base for the Brewers, leaving Tellez to fight for starts at designated hitter. He did very little with the at-bats he was given down the stretch and Milwaukee chose to non-tender him this offseason. Tellez's hard-hit rate (40.4 percent) and barrel rate (8.7 percent) both dropped off significantly last season, while his strikeout rate (24.5 percent) went up. His age and track record suggest Tellez will bounce back to some degree in 2024, and he should get regular starts at least versus righties after signing with Pittsburgh over the winter.

    Rotowire

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Not in Thursday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Tellez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Philadelphia. Tellez hasn't always been on the bench against lefties this season, but he will be for this one against southpaw Ranger Suarez. Connor Joe is at first base and in the leadoff spot.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Reaches base four times

    Rotowire
    Tellez went 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Orioles. Tellez started his fourth straight game after beginning the season on the bench regularly due to several matchups against lefties. He tallied his second multi-hit game of the campaign, highlighted by an RBI single in the second inning. Tellez has primarily hit sixth in Pittsburgh's lineup and should remain on the large side of a platoon at first base.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Sitting versus lefty

    Rotowire
    Tellez is out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Nationals. The Pirates are facing a fifth straight left-handed starting pitcher to begin the season, and the lefty-hitting Tellez has now been on the bench on three occasions. Connor Joe will start at first base Monday in Tellez's stead.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Crushes three-run homer

    Rotowire
    Tellez went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run during Sunday's 9-7 victory over the Marlins. Tellez earned the start against Marlins lefty starter Trevor Rogers and struck out three times prior to crushing a go-ahead three-run homer off right-handed reliever Vladimir Gutierrez in the seventh. It was the first homer of the season for Tellez, who started just two of the four games in Miami due to the Marlins' lefty-heavy rotation. The Pirates are scheduled to face a fifth-straight southpaw Monday in MacKenzie Gore of the Nationals, putting Tellez at risk of sitting for the third time in five games. However, Tellez is slated to be the primary first-basemen against righties, and as the Pirates' schedule normalizes, he will be in line for the bulk of the work.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Sits again versus southpaw

    Rotowire
    Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Tellez went 0-for-2 on Opening Day and will now miss his second straight start as Pittsburgh faces another left-handed starter in Ryan Weathers. Connor Joe will handle first base and bat in the leadoff spot.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Sitting out versus lefty

    Rotowire
    Tellez is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Miami, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Tellez was in there for the opener against left-hander Jesus Luzardo, but he'll sit for this one with the Marlins starting another southpaw in A.J. Puk. Connor Joe will handle first base.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Returns to lineup

    Rotowire
    Tellez (back) will start at first base and bat sixth for the Pirates in Monday's spring contest versus the Phillies, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. Tellez was scratched from the Grapefruit League lineup over the weekend with a minor back issue, but he's fine. The 29-year-old is slated to be the Pirates' primary first baseman against right-handed pitching this season.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Nursing back issue

    Rotowire
    Tellez was scratched from Saturday's Grapefruit League lineup due to a minor back injury, Greg Brown of SportsNet Pittsburgh reports. The 29-year-old was pulled from the lineup due to an "abundance of caution," so he could return to game action within the next couple days. Assuming Tellez has no additional issues, he should begin the season as the Pirates' primary first baseman.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Lands with Pittsburgh

    Rotowire
    Tellez signed a one-year, $3.2 million contract with the Pirates on Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. Tellez spent over two seasons with the Brewers, and he will remain in the NL Central to fill the Pirates' opening at first base. The 28-year-old slugger took a major step back in 2023, slashing .215/.291/.376 with 13 home runs -- only one of which came after May 23. Despite his recent struggles, Tellez should begin the season as Pittsburgh's primary first baseman, though he will likely step out of the lineup against lefties in favor of Jared Triolo or Connor Joe.

  • Rowdy Tellez: Dropped by Milwaukee

    Rotowire
    Tellez became a free agent Friday after being non-tendered by the Brewers, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. Tellez slashed just .215/.291/.376 over 105 games (351 plate appearances) in 2023 and was left off the roster for the Brewers' NL Wild Card Series matchup against the Diamondbacks. He popped 35 home runs in 2022 and is only 28 years old, but it's a tough market out there for 1B/DH types.

  • Brewers' Rowdy Tellez: Left off NL Wild Card Series roster

    Rotowire
    Tellez is not on the roster for the Brewers' NL Wild Card Series matchup against the Diamondbacks. Jesse Winker (quad/back) essentially made the roster instead. Tellez, 28, slashed just .189/.262/.216 with zero home runs over his final 42 regular-season plate appearances. He hit only one total homer after May 22.

  • Brewers' Rowdy Tellez: Sitting against righty

    Rotowire
    Tellez is not in Monday's lineup against the Pirates. Tellez typically sits against lefties, as he did Sunday against Ranger Suarez and the Phillies, but now he's taking a seat for the second game in a row against a righty (Luis Ortiz) -- he also sat Saturday against Aaron Nola. Carlos Santana will start at first base while William Contreras starts at designated hitter.

  • Brewers' Rowdy Tellez: Not starting Saturday

    Rotowire
    Tellez isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against the Phillies. Tellez will get a breather Saturday after going 3-for-10 with three RBI across his last five games. Christian Yelich will serve as Milwaukee's DH with Mark Canha in left field, and Carlos Santana will get the nod at first base.

  • Brewers' Rowdy Tellez: Sitting against lefty

    Rotowire
    Tellez is absent from the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs. Mark Canha will play first base and William Contreras will serve as the Brewers' designated hitter as they take on left-hander Justin Steele. The left-handed-hitting Tellez has slashed just .175/.267/.250 in 45 plate appearances versus southpaws this year.

  • Brewers' Rowdy Tellez: Drives in four runs

    Rotowire
    Tellez went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's win over the Padres. Tellez ripped a three-run homer in the third inning and also tacked on an RBI single. Between poor performance and a lengthy stint on the injured list, it was his first long ball since May 22. During that 38-game homerless drought, he posted a brutal .160/.215/.200 slash line. Tellez now owns a .686 OPS with 41 RBI and 13 home runs through 82 games.

  • Brewers' Rowdy Tellez: Absent from lineup again

    Rotowire
    Tellez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Tellez started in both of the Brewers' first two games after he was reinstated injured list over the weekend, but the lefty-hitting first baseman/designated hitter has now been on the bench for the last two contests even as the Brewers have faced right-handers on both occasions. He was also removed for a pinch hitter in his first game back. Tellez should still ultimately see plenty of starts in the DH spot for Milwaukee, but perhaps not enough for him to be a viable mixed-league option outside of the deepest leagues. William Contreras is in the DH spot Wednesday, with Victor Caratini catching.

  • Brewers' Rowdy Tellez: On bench Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Tellez is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Twins. Tellez is being eased back into action after returning Saturday from a six-week IL stint to heal a bout of right forearm inflammation. Mark Canha will serve as the Brewers' designated hitter Tuesday versus Minnesota as Carlos Santana covers first base.

  • Brewers' Rowdy Tellez: Activated from IL

    Rotowire
    The Brewers activated Tellez (finger) from the injured list Saturday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. The Brewers said they wanted Tellez to heat up in the minors before they bring him back to the active roster, and with five hits in his last three games, Tellez has done just that. Now that he's healthy, the left-handed Tellez will likely start most often against right-handed starters with the switch-hitting Carlos Santana drawing starts against lefties. Abraham Toro was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

  • Brewers' Rowdy Tellez: Weekend return likely

    Rotowire
    Tellez (finger) will likely return during the Brewers' weekend series against Texas, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Tellez has already been ruled out for Friday's series opener against the Rangers, but a return to the Brewers' lineup seems imminent. Manager Craig Counsell previously noted that the team wanted Tellez's bat to heat up in Triple-A before activating him from the IL, and the slugger has gone 5-for-13 with a homer and five RBI across his last three games. Once he returns, Tellez will presumably take over as the primary DH with Carlos Santana, a superior defensive player, now manning first base.
