Back with Atlanta on MiLB deal Atlanta re-signed Tellez to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Tellez elected free agency this past weekend after being removed from Atlanta's 40-man roster, but he's now back in the organization on a new deal. The 31-year-old will give the club some experienced first base and designated hitter depth at Triple-A Gwinnett.

Elects free agency Tellez has chosen to become a free agent after Atlanta outrighted him to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Impact Tellez appeared in seven games for Atlanta this season, going 2-for-10 with a home run, four RBI and a 1:3 BB:K. The veteran first baseman also posted an .850 OPS with eight home runs, 33 RBI and three stolen bases across 49 games with Gwinnett before being DFA'd on Thursday. Since he's chosen to become a free agent, Tellez is now free to sign with any organization.

JULY 2 • Associated Press

DFA'd by Atlanta Atlanta designated Tellez for assignment Thursday.

Impact Tellez was with the big club for three weeks but received only one start and 11 plate appearances, going 2-for-10 with a home run. He's likely to pass through waivers and would have the ability to elect free agency at that point.

Swats first Atlanta homer Tellez went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss to the Brewers.

Impact The veteran slugger replaced Matt Olson at first base with the game out of hand late, and Tellez took Chad Patrick deep in the ninth inning in his only plate appearance. It was Tellez's first homer in five games since joining Atlanta's 26-man roster earlier this month, but he has yet to make a start for his new team while stuck behind Olson and Dominic Smith on the depth charts at first base and DH.

JUNE 16 • RUMBUNTER.COM

Back in big leagues with Atlanta Atlanta selected Tellez's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Impact Atlanta placed star outfielder Ronald Acuna (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list to clear room on the active roster for Tellez, an eight-year big-league veteran who will reach the majors for the first time in 2026. Though the 31-year-old Tellez showed during his time at Gwinnett that he can still hit for power (.483 slugging percentage) and get on base at a steady clip (14.7 percent), he likely won't have a path to regular playing time while he's up with Atlanta. Unless Atlanta shows a willingness to use Dominic Smith in the corner outfield while Acuna is on the shelf, Tellez will likely be limited to a pinch-hitting role while Smith and Matt Olson are ahead of him on the depth chart at designated hitter and first base, respectively.

MARCH 21 • BATTERYPOWER.COM

Inks MiLB pact with Atlanta Tellez signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Tellez spent time with the Mariners and Rangers last season, slashing .228/.276/.443 across 312 total plate appearances. His only action this spring came while playing for Mexico in the World Baseball Classic, during which he went 1-for-9 with two walks and two strikeouts across four games. The 31-year-old will begin 2026 as an organizational depth piece for Atlanta, but he'd be likely to join the big club if Matt Olson were to miss any amount of time.
