A former Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman hasn’t had a great season so far and is now on waivers. The Seattle Mariners announced that they designated first baseman Rowdy Tellez for assignment, as they reinstated infielder/outfielder Luke Ralley from the 10-day injured list. Tellez struggled with Seattle in 2025, slashing .208/.249/.434 for an OPS of .683 in 62 games, with 36 hits in 173 at-bats, six doubles, 11 home runs, 27 RBIs and eight walks to 49 strikeouts. Tellez spent most of his time at first base, starting 48 of the 59 games he played there, while starting three games at designated hitter with Seattle.
