.Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Rowdy Tellez was 2-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBI in Thursday's 9-8 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Tellez has been impressive through his first 13 career MLB games. The 23-year-old has a .385 average with two homers, nine RBI, and seven runs scored. He is worth a pickup in deeper AL-only leagues and should be a part of the Jays plans heading into 2019.

.Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Rowdy Tellez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. It appears this is a rest day for Tellez who has seen an increase in playing time lately. Justin Smoak will play first base and bat third, while Kendrys Morales will serve as the DH and bat cleanup versus righty Jimmy Yacabonis. Both Smoak and Morales are worth considering for DFS contests.

.Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Rowdy Tellez was 3-for-4 with three doubles and an RBI in Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Cleveland Indians. After doubling in his major league debut on Wednesday, Thursday's performance actually set an MLB record as Tellez became the first player in the live-ball era (since 1920) to ever record an extra-base hit in each of their first three at-bats. Tellez has a .270 average with 50 RBI and 13 homers through 112 games at Triple-A Buffalo this season, but he is not someone fantasy managers should be clamoring to own. He should remain on the waiver wire until he proves he is the real deal.

The biggest concern for Rowdy Tellez has hardly ever been his ability to hit for contact. The Toronto Blue Jays prospect recently had enough talent to play designated hitter and first base with increasing success. Tellez was often undervalued because of his glove at first and his inability to truly demonstrate himself as an elite power hitter. The reality of the situation is that Tellez is far and away a slugger behind the plate and much improved at manning first base. He looks to have shed quite a bit of weight over the last two seasons, and it has added in his mobility and ability to make plays with his glove. Expect Tellez to be an above-average first baseman, at worst, and if he can keep his approach going, much more. He won’t be a Gold Glove first baseman, but he surely can be adequate there to allow his bat to benefit the middle of a big league lineup. Tellez is one of those top prospects that will likely turn out to be a much better baseball player than his minor league rankings make him out to be.
