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.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Slugs ninth homer

    Rotowire
    Tellez went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Cardinals. The first baseman wasn't even supposed to be in the starting lineup with St. Louis sending southpaw Matthew Liberatore to the mound, but Tellez was a late addition after Bryan Reynolds had his back lock up on him earlier in the day, forcing Connor Joe to the outfield. Tellez took advantage of the opportunity, driving in the Bucs' first run with an RBI single in the second inning before launching a solo shot that chased Liberatore from the game to lead off the fourth. The 29-year-old slugger is up to nine homers on the season, but seven of them have come in his last 21 games -- a stretch in which Tellez is batting .308 (20-for-65) with 17 RBI.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Late addition to lineup

    Rotowire
    Tellez will start at first base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals. Though he had been scheduled to receive Wednesday's game off with a lefty (Matthew Liberatore) taking the hill for the Cardinals, Tellez was added to the lineup after Bryan Reynolds (back) was scratched from the starting nine. Connor Joe had been slated to fill in for Tellez at first base but will instead replace Reynolds in the outfield.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Taking day off against lefty

    Rotowire
    Tellez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals. Connor Joe will fill in at first base for the lefty-hitting Tellez, who takes a seat while the Cardinals send southpaw Matthew Liberatore to the mound. Tellez has gotten off to a nice start to the second half of the season, going 3-for-11 with a double, a walk and three RBI through the Pirates' first five games.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Sitting down versus lefty

    Rotowire
    Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies. Southpaw Cristopher Sanchez will start on the bump for the Phillies, meaning the lefty-hitting Tellez will begin Saturday's contest on the bench. Connor Joe will fill in at first base and bat third.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: On bench against southpaw

    Rotowire
    Tellez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox. Tellez went 5-for-14 with a double and a homer while starting the previous four games, but he'll sit Friday as lefty Garrett Crochet pitches for Chicago. Connor Joe will start at first base and bat third.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Gets aboard three times

    Rotowire
    Tellez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Brewers. Tellez is 11-for-29 (.379) with five homers and 10 RBI over his last nine contests. The first baseman has found another level to his game -- he had just three homers over his first 68 contests this year. Overall, he's slashing .249/.304/.394 with eight long balls, 30 RBI, 27 runs scored and one stolen base over 240 plate appearances. Tellez is likely to remain in a strong-side platoon role, but he's got upside with his power when he's seeing the ball as well as he has lately.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Getting day off against lefty

    Rotowire
    Tellez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. With lefty Sean Manaea on the hill for the Mets, the lefty-hitting Tellez will hit the bench for the second day in a row. Connor Joe once again checks in for Tellez at first base.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Idle vs. southpaw Saturday

    Rotowire
    Tellez is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Two homers, five RBI in win

    Rotowire
    Tellez went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in a 14-2 win over the Mets on Friday. Tellez got the Pirates on the board with a solo homer in the fourth inning and added a grand slam in the eighth. The first baseman has been on fire, homering five times with four multi-hit efforts over his past 10 games. He has just two hits against left-handed pitching this year but is hitting a solid .262 with seven home runs and 28 RBI over 202 plate appearances against righties.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Comes up big Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Tellez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Cardinals. The 29-year-old slugger took Giovanny Gallegos deep in the seventh inning, giving the Pirates a 3-1 lead that got erased in the top of the eighth. Tellez has come alive at the plate recently, racking up three homers and three multi-hit performances in his last seven games, and since the beginning of June he's slashing .361/.403/.597 over 77 plate appearances with four home runs and 15 RBI.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Goes deep in win

    Rotowire
    Tellez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win against Atlanta. Tellez continued his hot month of June, as he now has three of his four homers and 14 of his 22 RBI for the season over his last 19 games. He had a .940 OPS in June after entering the month with a .463 OPS for the season. The 29-year-old is turning the corner and has elevated his slash line to .230/.286/.332 for the campaign.

    Rotowire
    Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta. With lefty Max Fried slated to take the hill for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Tellez will step out of the lineup Saturday. Connor Joe will get the nod at first base and bat third.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Improving at plate

    Rotowire
    Tellez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Reds. Tellez led off the fourth inning with his third home run of the season, two of which have come in his last 14 games. He's been productive in that span by going 17-for-48 with eight RBI and seven runs scored. Though it's been a positive stretch for Tellez, he still has just a .617 OPS for the season with a .324 slugging percentage.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Swipes first bag of season

    Rotowire
    Tellez went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Reds. The burly first baseman stole the fourth bag of his career, and his first since 2022, in the first inning as the Pirates grabbed an early 3-0 lead. Tellez has been enjoying his strong-side platoon role in June -- through 59 plate appearances this month, he's slashing .352/.407/.500 with five doubles, a homer, six runs and 11 RBI.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Delivers three hits

    Rotowire
    Tellez went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Sunday's win over the Rockies. Tellez singled three times, including a two-run base hit in the seventh inning. He's slashing .419/.471/.581 with nine RBI over his last nine games. The hot streak has been encouraging but he has plenty of work left to undo his ugly start to the season; Tellez owns a .576 OPS with seven extra-base hits through 58 games.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Sitting against LHP

    Rotowire
    Tellez is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado. Tellez will dodge a matchup with southpaw Ty Blach on Saturday, yielding to Connor Joe at first base. After a slow start to 2024, Tellez has come to life in June, hitting .385 with three extra-base hits and seven RBI in nine games played.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Checking out of lineup Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Tellez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals. Though he'll take a seat against a right-hander (Sonny Gray), the lefty-hitting Tellez seems to have a firmer grasp on a strong-side platoon role these days while he's begun to heat up at the plate. Over his last six games, Tellez has gone 9-for-19 with a home run, three doubles, two walks, seven RBI and three runs.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Finally ends homer drought

    Rotowire
    Tellez went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Twins. The 29-year-old slugger took Simeon Woods Richardson deep in the seventh inning to produce the game's first run, then was at the heart of a three-run rally in the eighth. Tellez hadn't homered since March 31, and Saturday's blast snapped a 48-game power drought in which he slashed just .197/.262/.235 with five doubles. He is showing signs of life at the plate, however, batting .391 (9-for-23) over his last seven games with seven of his 15 RBI on the season.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Sitting versus lefty

    Rotowire
    Tellez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers. After he had began to lose out on regular playing time toward the end of May, the lefty-hitting Tellez has started in each of the last four games against right-handed pitching. Tellez still remains in a platoon at first base with Connor Joe, however, and Tellez will take a seat Wednesday while the Dodgers bring southpaw James Paxton to the hill.

  • Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Snaps out of slump

    Rotowire
    Tellez went 3-for-4 with a two-RBI double and two RBI singles during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays. Tellez hadn't logged an RBI since May 5 and had driven in three batters since April 4. He bested that total just on Sunday, plating all four of the Pirates' runs and reaching safely in four of his five plate appearances. Prior to Sunday's contest, Tellez had generated four hits in 40 at-bats with one walk.
