The Texas Rangers have continued seeking ways to ignite their struggling offense, and their latest move came on Saturday with the signing of veteran first baseman Rowdy Tellez to a Minor League contract. Tellez, who was recently released by the Mariners after hitting .208 with limited defensive impact, will now join Triple-A Round Rock and is expected to be in the lineup for Sunday night’s game against Sugar Land.
Despite his struggles overall, Tellez showed promise on the road with a .275 average and an .877 OPS, and the Rangers are hoping he can provide some production against right-handed pitching as they look for solutions at the plate.
