Rowdy Tellez Sitting Against Lefty Monday
2 years agoMilwaukee Brewers first baseman Rowdy Tellez is not in Monday's starting lineup versus left-hander Matthew Boyd and the Detroit Tigers. Luke Voit will take over at first and hit fifth. The lefty-swinging Tellez has enjoyed a big season to this point with seven homers and an .880 OPS across 20 games, all but one of which were starts. It's a good time for the veteran to get a breather as he's hitless in nine trips to the plate against lefties this season while he owns a .699 OPS against lefties in his career versus a .797 mark against righties. At the same time, Boyd has held left-handed hitters to a .188 average and a .485 OPS on the young season.
