Rowdy Tellez Smashes Two Bombs, Racks Up Five RBI In Blowout Win
5 months agoPittsburgh Pirates first baseman Rowdy Tellez smashed two home runs and tallied five RBI in the Pirates' 14-2 win over the New York Mets on Friday. Tellez now have seven HR on the season with a .683 OPS. After a slow start to the season, the lefty has started to pick things up with a .961 OPS over the last 28 days. Tellez has mainly been in a platoon role this season and will continue to stay in a platoon role while on the Pirates, hitting for a .691 OPS against righties and a .258 OPS against lefties. With his recent resurgence at the plate, fantasy managers may want to continue getting him into their starting lineups and capitalizing on his hot streak. He should be expected to be out of the lineup the next two days against Mets starters David Peterson and Sean Manaea. He should be back in the lineup Sunday against Mets rookie Christian Scott.
