Player Outlook
Leody Taveras has been on the fantasy periphery for awhile, but 2023 was the first time we have seen the production begin to match the hype. The 25-year old outfielder finished the season with a palindromic 14 homers, 67 runs, 67 RBIs, and 14 steals over 143 games. The switch hitter continued to do most of his damage from the left side hitting 12 of those 14 homers off righties and hitting 34 points better against them than southpaws. Taveras' season was most frontloaded as he struggled after the break dealing with hand soreness and hit just .233 with four homers after the break. His defense and baserunning keep him in the lineup nearly everyday as long as his body holds up, but his spot in the lineup is what ultimately limits his upside as he should once again hit in the lower third of the lineup. His 2023 is very repeatable and a 20-20 season is possible should Bochy decide to leverage the running game more often in 2024.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Keeps rolling with three hits

    Rotowire
    Taveras went 3-for-5 with one RBI in Sunday's 13-2 win over the Rays. Taveras has opened July by going 10-for-21 (.476) during a six-game hitting streak. While he's added just three RBI in that span, it's encouraging to see him make consistent contact after batting just .147 in June. The outfielder is up to a .238/.306/.345 slash line with five home runs, 21 RBI, 33 runs scored and 10 stolen bases across 85 contests this season.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Extends hit streak to five games

    Rotowire
    Taveras went 2-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over Tampa Bay. Taveras was on base when Marcus Semien belted a two-run, game-deciding home run in the bottom of the seventh inning. Taveras had earlier singled to extend a hit streak to five games (7-for-16) and has hit safely in his last eight starts (11-for-26). Following a modest breakout season in 2023, he has mostly disappointed in 2024 (.232 average, .643 OPS), although Taveras' speed (10 steals, four consecutive MLB seasons with double-digit thefts) holds fantasy relevance.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: On bench Sunday

    Rotowire
    Taveras is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles. It's the second straight game on the bench for Taveras despite having a .782 OPS in his past 11 games. Derek Hill will take over in center field and bat seventh in the series finale at Baltimore.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Finishing month on upswing

    Rotowire
    Taveras went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and an RBI in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Orioles. Taveras had a bases-loaded walk and swiped his ninth bag in the loss. He's set up for a fourth consecutive season of double-digit steals. The outfielder was having a brutal month, but he's finishing June on an upswing. After enduring a 2-for-45 (.044) stretch over 14 games, Taveras has hit safely in seven of the subsequent 10 contests, going 9-for-29 (.310) with three steals, a home run, five RBI and an additional three runs scored.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Idle for series finale

    Rotowire
    Taveras is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee. Derek Hill was called up from Triple-A Round Rock prior to Wednesday's game and will be put to work right away, stepping in as the Rangers' starter in center field for the resting Taveras. After falling into an extended slump at the plate through the first half of June, Taveras seems to have righted the ship of late with six hits -- including a home run -- and two stolen bases in 21 at-bats over his last seven games.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Drives in two, swipes bag

    Rotowire
    Taveras went 2-for-4 with a two-RBI single and a stolen base during Sunday's 4-0 win over the Royals. Taveras took part in the Rangers' three-run third inning, plating Nathaniel Lowe and Wyatt Langford on a two-run single with two outs. While he stole second base after the hit, he didn't end up coming around to score. The center fielder has been slumping in June, batting 7-for-61 (.115) with five RBI, five runs scored and a pair of steals.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Sitting Saturday

    Rotowire
    Taveras is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mariners, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports. Taveras will get a day off after he went 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts in the team's 3-2 win Friday. Travis Jankowski will take over in center field and bat sixth against Seattle.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Nabs sixth steal

    Rotowire
    Taveras went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers. Taveras' bat went cold over the last week -- he entered Wednesday 0-for-23 over his last seven contests. The outfielder hit .275 over 11 games prior to his slump, but he's posted just five multi-hit efforts since the start of May. For the season, he's at a .220/.289/.335 slash line with four home runs, six steals, 13 RBI and 26 runs scored over 240 plate appearances. Taveras is still seeing steady playing time in center field, though his poor hitting has kept him at the bottom of the order.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Moves up order

    Rotowire
    Taveras batted fifth and went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and an RBI in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Twins. Taveras extended a hit streak to five games (6-for-20) with a single in the second inning. He then put the Rangers up, 3-1, doubling in a run in the top of the sixth. He slotted in at ninth in the batting order for his first 47 games played but was moved up this week -- Taveras batted seventh Thursday then fifth Friday and Saturday.

    Rotowire
    Taveras went 1-for-4 with a triple and run scored in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Guardians. Taveras scored the Rangers first (and winning) run when his fifth-inning triple immediately preceded a Marcus Semien home run. Taveras has been rolling since late April, posting a .323 average (20-for-62) and .948 OPS with eight walks, two steals, three doubles, one triple, three home runs, eight RBI and 16 runs over the last 18 games.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Strong showing in loss

    Rotowire
    Taveras went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Rockies. Taveras has three multi-hit efforts in May and is hitting .333 (12-for-36) over 10 contests this month. He has two homers and two steals over his last four games. The outfielder is up to a .256/.329/.395 slash line, three long balls, four steals, 10 RBI, 20 runs scored, seven doubles and a triple through 38 games this season. While Taveras is stuck at the bottom of the Rangers' order, he is enjoying a near-everyday role as a switch hitter.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Heating up

    Rotowire
    Taveras went a combined 2-for-8 with a home run, two RBI and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's doubleheader against the Athletics. Taveras hit safely in both ends of the doubleheader, including a two-run homer in the matinee, to extend a hit streak to six games. He's hit safely in 11 of the last 12 contests, going 15-for-42 (.357) with three doubles, two home runs and seven RBI during that run. Taveras had a .200 batting average with just two RBI before the 12-game run, and he's now up to .254 and nine RBI after Wednesday's production.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Gets rest day Thursday

    Rotowire
    Taveras is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals. Taveras appears to be getting a routine off day as Washington and Texas conclude their series with a day game after a night game. The 25-year-old had started in each of the Rangers' last five contests, recording at least one hit in each of those games to bring his average up to .229 for the season.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Bops first homer

    Rotowire
    Taveras went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Nationals. Taveras bopped his first home run of the season, a two-run shot as part of the Rangers' three-run eighth inning that put the game out of reach. He's been a streaky hitter since emerging as the everyday center fielder, but Taveras hasn't done much streaking yet in 2024. He's batting .226 with a .613 OPS, and Tuesday's RBI were his first in 10 games and just his third and fourth of the season.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Collects first spring hit

    Rotowire
    Taveras went 1-for-2 with a triple, a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's spring game against the White Sox. Taveras had his first hit of the spring when he tripled in the third inning. He later swiped his first base.

One of those shifts is moving up Taveras, who is 9-for-28 with one home run and three stolen bases in nine contests this postseason.
