Braves re-sign Rowdy Tellez to minor league deal

The Atlanta Braves have re-signed veteran first baseman Rowdy Tellez on a minor league contract. Tellez, who previously played seven games with the Braves this season, was recently DFA'd and subsequently signed after a brief free agency period. His performance at Triple-A Gwinnett featured a.259 average with eight home runs in 207 at-bats. The Braves' roster dynamics present challenges for Tellez's path to regular big league duty due to the presence of star first baseman Matt Olson and another left-handed option, Dominic Smith. Tellez has a total of 123 career home runs across nine MLB seasons, including a peak of 35 home runs during the 2022 season with the Milwaukee Brewers.
