Braves re-signed 1B Rowdy Tellez to a minor league contract.

Tellez returns to the fold after spending a couple days on the open market. The 31-year-old first baseman went 2-for-10 with one homer during a seven-game stint with Atlanta earlier this month. He’ll continue serving as emergency depth at Triple-A Gwinnett.

Rowdy Tellez elected free agency after refusing an outright assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Tellez is now free to find a new club. The 31-year-old was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Thursday, and unsurprisingly didn’t find a new home via waiver claim nor trade. He’s assuredly looking at another minor league pact in the coming days, barring something unforeseeable.

Braves designated 1B Rowdy Tellez for assignment.

Tellez was just 2-for-10 in seven games for the Braves with one home run. He had hit .259/.367/.483 in 49 games at Triple-A with eight home runs, 33 RBI, and three steals. He’s basically just a left-handed pinch hitter at this point in his career, but there may be a team that takes a chance on him if he clears waivers.

Braves selected the contract of 1B Rowdy Tellez from Triple-A Gwinnett

With Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring) landing on the IL, Tellez will come up to take his place on the active roster. The 31-year-old is slashing .259/.367/.483 in 49 games at Triple-A with eight home runs, 33 RBI, and three steals. Unless the Braves decide to play Dominic Smith in the field, it’s hard to see Tellez getting too many at-bats.

Braves signed 1B Rowdy Tellez to a minor league contract.

The 31-year-old slugger showed that he could still swing the bat during his time with Team Mexico for the World Baseball Classic. He’ll add depth at the Triple-A level for the Braves and can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Rowdy Tellez had a solo homer and an RBI single Tuesday in Team Mexico’s 6-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Tellez is still on the market after hitting .228/.276/.443 in 312 plate appearances for the Mariners and Rangers last season, but a strong WBC could aid his cause. He had hard-hit balls all three times up today, with his one out being a 355-foot liner.

Rowdy Tellez blasted a three-run homer in the 10th inning on Sunday afternoon, yet it still wasn’t enough to power the Rangers past the Guardians.

Tellez entered the game as a pinch-hitter for Jake Burger after Adolis Garcia had singled to start the 10th inning. He then crushed a 2-2 curveball from Zak Kent for a 362-foot (94.2 mph EV) three-run blast that gave the Rangers an 8-5 advantage. The 30-year-old slugger finishes the 2025 season hitting .228/.276/.443 with 17 homers, 49 RBI and one stolen base in 312 plate appearances between the Mariners and Rangers.
