Back in lineup Sunday Tellez will start at first base and bat fifth Sunday against the Reds.
Impact Tellez sat out against a pair of right-handed starting pitchers (Tyler Mahle and Luis Castillo) to begin the series, but he'll be back in the lineup Sunday with another righty (Sonny Gray) on the mound for Cincinnati. Since coming over in a trade from Toronto earlier this month, Tellez has gotten off to a 1-for-9 start to his tenure with the Brewers. Rather than Keston Hiura, Jace Peterson -- who started at first base in the past two games -- looks like Tellez's primary competition for a spot in the everyday lineup.

The exact details of the trade are unclear at this time, but righty pitcher Richards is the main piece being dealt to the Blue Jays.

Optioned to Triple-A Tellez was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.
Impact Tellez hasn't proved to be worthy of everyday at-bats this season, as he's struggled to a .209/.272/.338 slash line in 151 trips to the plate. The Blue Jays will have even fewer at-bats available for him going forward now that George Springer is back from his quadriceps injury, so Tellez will head to the minors in hopes of getting his groove back with regular playing time.
