Provides pinch-hit homer in victory Tellez came off the bench and cracked a pinch-hit, two-run home run in Saturday's 6-0 win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Tellez hit for Milwaukee reliever Brad Boxberger in the sixth inning and sent a Chris Stratton offering over the right-field wall to give the Brewers a 5-0 lead. It was the 10th homer of the year for Tellez, six of which have come with Milwaukee. The 26-year-old is hitting .333/.407/.613 in 86 plate appearances since being acquired from Toronto. He's had hot streaks like this in the past for the Blue Jays but it remains to be seen whether Tellez can remain productive over a longer duration.

Managing knee injury Tellez was removed from Wednesday's game against the Cubs with right knee discomfort, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Tellez hit a single during the first inning and came around to score on Lorenzo Cain's double, and it appears that's when he suffered the injury. The first baseman initially remained in the contest before being replaced by a pinch hitter. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but there's a chance the Brewers were simply being cautious after putting up a seven spot during the opening frame.

AUGUST 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Game 1 of doubleheader Tellez is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cubs.

Eduardo Escobar will man first base in the early game, but expect Tellez to return to the lineup for the nightcap with right-hander Alec Mills on the bump for Chicago.

Impact The 26-year-old wasn't in Wednesday's lineup, but he delivered a go-ahead blast in the seventh inning when he pinch hit for pitcher Brent Suter. Tellez is up to nine homers, 24 RBI, 22 runs scored and a .748 OPS through 215 plate appearances between Milwaukee and Toronto this year. He's consistently been in the lineup versus right-handed pitching, but he's likely to remain limited to a strong-side platoon role with Eduardo Escobar shifting over to first base against southpaws.
