Rowdy Tellez Starting At First Base Monday
1 year agoMilwaukee Brewers first baseman/designated hitter Rowdy Tellez is getting the start at first base Monday against the Chicago Cubs and right-hander Jameson Taillon. Monday marks the slugger's first start at first base since back on July 4 before injuring his finger, an ailment that cost him roughly six weeks of action. All three of Tellez's starts since his return have come as the club's DH as Carlos Santana's superior glove has him handling first base nearly every outing for the Brewers. Tellez has caught fire over his last two games with a homer, a double, and six runs driven in over that time. For the season, the 28-year-old is hitting .217 with 13 home runs, 43 RBI, and a .694 OPS across 300 trips to the plate.
