Rowdy Tellez News
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rowdy Tellez went 1-for-3 with a single and a strikeout in a win against the Houston Astros on Wednesday. The single extended his hitting streak to four games, which started after a hitless streak of four games. Tellez is slashing .257/.347/.535 with 12 home runs this season, which puts him on pace to approach his career-best 35 home runs from last year. Tellez may have a tough stretch this weekend in San Francisco since it isn't a home run-friendly ballpark, but next week the Brewers travel to Toronto. Tellez has hit 15 home runs at Rogers Centre in his career, the second-most of any ballpark he's played at.
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rowdy Tellez is not in Monday's starting lineup versus left-hander Matthew Boyd and the Detroit Tigers. Luke Voit will take over at first and hit fifth. The lefty-swinging Tellez has enjoyed a big season to this point with seven homers and an .880 OPS across 20 games, all but one of which were starts. It's a good time for the veteran to get a breather as he's hitless in nine trips to the plate against lefties this season while he owns a .699 OPS against lefties in his career versus a .797 mark against righties. At the same time, Boyd has held left-handed hitters to a .188 average and a .485 OPS on the young season.
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rowdy Tellez cracked a solo home run in a 5-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox Friday. Tellez blasted a solo shot in the fourth inning to tie the game. The slugger is slashing .242/.338/.548 with six home runs and 15 RBI over 18 games in 2023. His heavy bat makes him an asset to any fantasy lineup early in the season. Last year Tellez hit 35 home runs and drove in 89 runs.

Rowdy Tellez flashed his potential following his 2021 in-season trade to the Brewers and was able to build on that in 2022. In 153 games, Tellez hit .219/.306/.461 with 35 homers, 89 RBI, 67 runs and two steals. The .219 batting average is suppressing his ADP (~178), especially at a position with so many elite options but his underlying numbers suggest he was unlucky and offer hope for better in 2023. Tellez had a .215 BABIP, .252 xBA and .479 xSLG (90th percentile). The lack of runs could continue with few good options hitting behind Tellez in the Brewers' lineup and he did struggle against left-handed pitching (.209/.313/.330 slash line and four homers in 134 PA against lefties). There is at risk of finding himself in a platoon but the Brewers don't have a lot of alternate options and Tellez still had 599 plate appearances last year despite those struggles. Only two first basemen hit more homers than Tellez last year and they are both being drafted significantly earlier than Tellez so if you missed out on one of the top-tier first basemen or need a boost in power at the corner infield position, Tellez is a perfect fit.
