Tellez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Tellez's second home run of the season came in the eighth inning off reliever Jose Ruiz and helped give Milwaukee a six-run cushion. With a .161/.270/.387 slash line through 37 plate appearances, Tellez is off to a slow start to the 2023 season, but he doesn't appear in immediate danger of losing out on playing time while his main competition for reps at first base, Luke Voit, has struck out in half of his trips to the dish.

Tellez is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale with the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Tellez will head to the bench after starting the first five games of the campaign, going 3-for-19 with a solo home run and three runs scored over those contests. With the Brewers looking to finish off the sweep over the Mets on Wednesday, Luke Voit will draw the start at first base and bat fifth.

Tellez went 0-for-3 in Thursday's exhibition contest.
EDGE Analysis
Tellez did not do anything noteworthy Thursday, but he did appear in his first game since rejoining the Brewers following his WBC stint with Mexico. Tellez homered three times in five spring games before his departure, and he will open the season as Milwaukee's primary option at first base.

Tellez and the Brewers agreed on a one-year, $4.95 million contract Friday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tellez and the organization will avoid the arbitration process after coming to an agreement Friday. The first baseman struggled to hit for average in 2022, batting a career-low .219, but he did produce a career-high 35 homers, 89 RBI, 67 runs and two stolen bases. The 27-year-old will likely have an everyday role with Milwaukee in 2023, whether it's at the cold corner or at designated hitter.

Tellez is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Tellez, who leads the Brewers this season with 34 home runs in 152 games, will get a breather the day after the Brewers were mathematically eliminated from the playoff picture. Keston Hiura will start at first base and hit fifth.

Tellez isn't starting Monday against Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Tellez's .649 OPS against left-handed pitching means he will begin Monday's matchup against Tommy Henry in the dugout. Keston Hiura will instead cover first base and bat seventh.

Tellez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Tellez took Miles Mikolas deep for a solo shot in the bottom of the sixth frame, scoring the first run for the Brewers. The homer was his 34th of the year and second in three games. The first baseman has struggled to produce a consistent batting average, but he has compiled six home runs, 11 RBI and 10 runs scored over his last 14 games.

EDGE Analysis

Tellez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and three runs scored in Saturday's win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Tellez singled in his second at-bat in the fourth inning and scored on a Hunter Renfroe home run. The first baseman drew a walk in his next plate appearance in the fifth before coming home to score yet again on second homer from Renfroe. Tellez's solo shot came in the ninth inning after the Brewers had already put the game well out of reach. He came into Saturday's game with just three hits in his last 30 at-bats, though the home run was his sixth this month.
