ROWDY TELLEZ NEWS

Blasts fourth homer Tellez slugged a pinch-hit two-run home run in Sunday's rout of the Red Sox.

Impact With position player Christian Arroyo on the mound for Boston and the Jays holding a 16-4 lead in the ninth inning, Tellez subbed in for Vladimir Guerrero and launched Toronto's eighth homer of the day, setting a new Fenway Park record for a visiting club. It was Tellez's first home run in June and fourth of the year, but he's been showing some signs of life at the plate lately, slashing .300/.378/.550 over his last 45 plate appearances dating back to May 24.

Available off bench Tellez (hamstring) is doing well and will be available off the bench Tuesday against the Red Sox, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Tellez's left hamstring appears to be mostly recovered after it forced him to exit Sunday's game against the Phillies. With just two homers on the season, Tellez's power has yet to make much of an impact, but his overall offensive numbers have been trending upward after a miserable start to 2021.

Managing hamstring strain Tellez left Sunday's win over the Phillies with a mild left hamstring strain, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Tellez hit a single to left field in Sunday's matchup but appeared to slip on home plate and was immediately removed from the game after he made it to first base. Manager Charlie Montoyo said that Tellez has a "good chance" of winding up on the injured list, but the team will presumably run further tests before making a final decision.
