ARLINGTON, Texas -- Veteran first baseman Rowdy Tellez took part in a workout with the Texas Rangers on Thursday, with the anticipation that he will be added to their roster before the first game after the All-Star break.
Tellez signed a minor league deal with the Rangers on July 5, a week after being released by Seattle. He had been designated for assignment after he hit .208 with 11 home runs and 27 RBIs in 62 games with the Mariners.
The Rangers (48-49) open a three-game series at home Friday night against Detroit (59-38), which has the best record in the majors despite a four-game losing streak.
