Rowdy Tellez, a left-handed hitting first baseman and designated hitter, has joined the Atlanta Braves on a minor league deal. Tellez, an eight-year veteran, has consistently hit double-digit home runs since 2019, except for the 2020 season. He achieved a career-high of 35 home runs with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2022. Although not the right-handed option the Braves sought for a DH-platoon, he may provide an upgrade over Dominic Smith. Tellez, 31, previously played with Braves' prospect Nacho Alvarez, Jr. during the World Baseball Classic.
