Not starting Tuesday Tellez isn't in the lineup Tuesday against Atlanta.

Ejected Wednesday Tellez was ejected during the 10th inning of Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Impact The 25-year-old struck out looking to begin the frame and was presumably unhappy about the call, so his night was finished a bit earlier than his teammates. Tellez went 1-for-4 with a strikeout as the designated hitter before being tossed.

Goes yard against Nats Tellez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's 4-1 win over the Nationals.
Impact The 25-year-old came into the game looking for his first hit of the season and Tellez made it a loud one, as he took Anibal Sanchez deep in the fourth inning. Tellez figures to be the Jays' regular DH this season with Vladimir Guerrero making the transition to first base.

Sharp to a point Tuesday Weber allowed four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings in Tuesday's exhibition game against the Blue Jays.
Impact Weber looked ready to assume Boston's No. 3 starter spot for five innings before tiring in his final frame. The low-velocity hurler allowed two runs over the first five innings, but Rowdy Tellez took him deep in the sixth. Weber, an offspeed specialist, is expected to start the third game of the season.

Showing power in summer camp Tellez slugged three home runs over his first two intrasquad games at summer camp and hit another during a live batting practice session against Shun Yamaguchi on Sunday, Keegan Ma...
Impact Tellez's long ball off Yamaguchi was particularly impressive, as it reached the second deck of the right-field stands at Rogers Centre. The 25-year-old has always offered plus power from the left side, but a 28.4 percent career strikeout rate has played a large factor in him being only a league-average hitter (100 wRC+) over parts of two seasons in the majors. He may need to continue to mash in summer camp to open the season with a large-side platoon role. Tellez looks to be one of the Blue Jays most at risk of losing playing time after manager Charlie Montoyo said last week that Vladimir Guerrero would move across the diamond and serve as the club's primary first baseman in 2020.

Could be squeezed off MLB roster McKinney went 6-for-26 (.231) with a solo home run and a 3:10 BB:K this spring before the Grapefruit League schedule was suspended.
Impact The lackluster spring numbers don't help his case to win a job on the 26-man roster, but the most important number for McKinney was likely always one -- as in, his one remaining minor-league option, something neither Derek Fisher nor Anthony Alford possesses. Even if the Jays elect to part ways with one of those outfielders, that wouldn't guarantee McKinney a roster spot once the regular season begins, as the club could elect to keep Rowdy Tellez in the majors instead as insurance for Travis Shaw at first base.
