After Sunday’s 4-2 loss to the Yankees in New York, the Blue Jays made a roster move by sending Rowdy Tellez back to Triple-A, and as of this writing they had not announced a corresponding move.
At first I wasn’t terribly surprised to hear the news, as Rowdy has slowed down from the nice start he had to the season and now sits with an uninspiring slash line of .227/.280/.436 with 14 home runs and 40 RBI in 78 games and 264 at-bats. That’s not going to get it done for a big league DH/first baseman, however, he is technically still a rookie and is adjusting to the big leagues, so there has been reason for patience.
