Player Outlook
Rowdy Tellez batted .219 with 35 home runs for the Brewers in 2022, but he's been unable to replicate that power the past two seasons. He latched on with the Pirates for 2024 and showed decent contact skills with a .243 average and 21.1 percent strikeout rate, but his hard-hit rate dropped to a career-worst 36.5 percent. Tellez's .680 OPS over the last two years will likely limit his options this winter, especially given his defensive deficiencies at first base.

  • Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: Pushing for roster spot this spring

    Rotowire
    Tellez has made a strong case for an Opening Day roster spot this spring, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. Tellez, who is currently a non-roster invitee, is leaving the Mariners with a tough roster decision to make ahead of Opening Day. Through 37 Cactus League at-bats, the veteran slugger is batting .297 with three home runs, two doubles and four RBI. If Tellez makes the cut, he's expected to mix in at first base with fellow left-handed hitter Luke Raley and at designated hitter with Mitch Garver as well as Mitch Haniger (shoulder).

  • Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: Joins Seattle

    Rotowire
    Tellez signed a minor-league deal with the Mariners on Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Tellez had a disappointing 2024 season with the Pirates as he posted a .691 OPS across 421 plate appearances -- his second consecutive campaign with an OPS under .700. His fit on Seattle's roster is unclear given that both he and Luke Raley bat from the left side, though Tellez could also get some at-bats at designated hitter if he manages to crack the roster.

  • Rowdy Tellez: Becomes free agent

    Rotowire
    The Pirates released Tellez on Wednesday. Tellez is now a free agent after previously being jettisoned from the Pirates' 40-man roster. The 29-year-old has hit just .231/.295/.385 over the last two seasons and is a poor defender at first base, so he could be facing a limited market this winter.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: DFA'd by Pittsburgh

    Rotowire
    The Pirates designated Tellez for assignment Tuesday. Tellez slashed .310/.347/.533 from the beginning of June through the end of August, but he's hit only .116/.255/.209 in September and had been seeing his playing time dwindle. The Pirates have elected to move on from the veteran now and give his at-bats to others. Billy Cook is at first base for the Pirates on Tuesday and should share that spot with Connor Joe and Jared Triolo in the final week.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Out again versus righty

    Rotowire
    Tellez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Brewers. This is the fifth time over the Pirates' last 10 games versus righties that Tellez has been out of the lineup, as the club is getting a look at some younger players down the stretch. Billy Cook will handle first base Tuesday.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Idle against RHP

    Rotowire
    Tellez is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds. The lefty-hitting Tellez will be on the bench for the fifth time in the last 10 games despite Pittsburgh facing a right-hander in Rhett Lowder. Tellez is 2-for-25 (.080) in his last nine games.

    Rotowire
    Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Held out of lineup vs. righty

    Rotowire
    Tellez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals. Tellez is typically absent from the lineup against left-handed starting pitchers, but he'll take a seat Monday for the second time in the Pirates' past three matchups with righties. Connor Joe will step in at first base in place of Tellez, who may be starting to lose some job security after producing a .485 OPS thus far in September.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Sitting down Saturday

    Rotowire
    Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday versus the Royals. Tellez will take a day to recollect himself Saturday after going 0-for-14 across his last four games. His absence will allow Billy Cook to start at first base while batting ninth.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Goes deep Saturday

    Rotowire
    Tellez went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run and two walks across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals. Tellez didn't start in the first game of the twin bill, but he came up as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and drilled a 443-foot, two-run blast to right field. The first baseman added a walk later in that contest before going 0-for-4 with another walk in the nightcap. Even with the Game 1 homer Saturday, Tellez has had a rough start to September, going 3-for-18 with seven strikeouts over his first seven games.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Resting against southpaw

    Rotowire
    Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against Washington. Left-hander DJ Herz will start on the mound for the Nats to begin Saturday's twin bill, so the lefty-hitting Tellez will take a seat on the bench while Connor Joe covers first base.

    Rotowire
    Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians. With southpaw Matthew Boyd slated to throw the first pitch for Cleveland, the lefty-hitting Tellez will step out of Saturday's starting nine. Connor Joe will start at first base and bat sixth.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Back in Pittsburgh lineup

    Rotowire
    Tellez (undisclosed) will start at first base and bat fifth in Friday's game against the Guardians. Tellez had to depart the Pirates' last game Wednesday with an undisclosed injury, but he's ready to go after Thursday's team off day. He has slashed .276/.304/.434 with a couple home runs so far in August.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Goes deep in loss

    Rotowire
    Tellez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 10-2 loss against the Reds. Tellez took Julian Aguiar deep in the second inning for his 11th home run of the season. Tellez got off to a rough start this season, but since June he's batting .298/.340/.524 with 10 home runs and 36 RBI over 62 games. The 29-year-old is a mainstay in the middle of the Pittsburgh order against right-handed pitching and will continue to play on the strong side of the platoon at first base.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Reaches base three times

    Rotowire
    Tellez went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored Friday against the Reds. Tellez has struggled to hit for power since the All-Star break, as he has only nine extra-base hits -- including two homers -- in 28 games. As a result, he's driven in only 11 and scored seven runs in that span. On a positive note, he's hitting .268 across 82 at-bats so far in the second half, improving his average to .249 on the campaign.
