Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rowdy Tellez is currently on a minor league rehab assignment. He initially was placed on the IL in early July due to forearm inflammation and then sustained a finger nail bed injury and fracture while shagging fly balls.

While on rehab assignment, Tellez appeared on an episode of "Foul Territory." While on camera he flashed his injured finger for all to see.

In the video it is clear that Tellez does not have a finger nail. However, it is healed enough to be playing in baseball games as he is trying to get back to the big leagues with the Brewers. As a non-pitcher the maximum amount of time he can spend on minor league rehab assignment is 20 days. He will have to get his bat going in order to earn his way back into Milwaukee’s lineup.
