US EditionTexas Rangers Add Veteran 1B Rowdy Tellez to Their Roster After All-Star Break
TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 17 – Rowdy Tellez, a veteran with 116 career home runs, was called up to replace Jake Burger due to injury as the Rangers seek to improve offense amid a 48-49 record, FanGraphs said.
- The Texas Rangers placed first baseman Jake Burger on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday due to a left quadriceps strain.
- This move came as Burger, who has a.228 batting average with 11 home runs in 75 games, missed his second IL stint this season.
- To fill the spot left by Burger, the Rangers signed veteran Rowdy Tellez to a minor league contract on July 5 and added him to the active roster in time for the team’s initial game following the All-Star break.
- Tellez, 30, has played for four MLB teams since debuting in 2018 and hit.208 with 11 homers and 27 RBIs in 62 games this season with Seattle before being released.
- Adding Tellez brings experienced depth at first base to the Rangers, though it also highlights some concerns about the team’s options at the position as they get ready to open a three-game home series against Detroit.
