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's season was most frontloaded as he struggled after the break dealing with hand soreness and hit just .233 with 4 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: 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.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Snaps homer drought

    Rotowire
    Taveras went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win against the Mets. Taveras began the game on the bench before being called upon to play center field in the top of the seventh inning. In the bottom of that frame, Taveras produced the game-winning runs when he smashed a two-run homer to right-center field. The long ball snapped a 22-game homerless stretch for the outfielder, who hit a meager .147 during that span.

  • 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: 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: Moves up to five spot

    Rotowire

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Crushes home run in victory

    Rotowire
    Taveras went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Astros in Game 1 of the ALCS. Taveras's deep shot marked the first of his postseason career, as he took Justin Verlander deep on a slider left over the heart of the plate to add an insurance run in the fifth inning. The switch-hitting outfielder doesn't typically depend on power for his scoring, slugging a modest 14 home runs in 143 regular-season games. However, he has hit well in the playoffs so far, slashing .333/.440/.524 in 21 at-bats with five runs, three RBI, two stolen bases and Sunday's home run.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Pops homer Thursday

    Rotowire
    Taveras went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners. Taveras opened the scoring with his third-inning blast. The outfielder has been solid in September, batting .321 (25-for-78), but he's added just two homers, three stolen bases and eight RBI over 25 contests this month. For the year, he's at a respectable .269/.314/.426 slash line with 14 long balls, 66 RBI, 67 runs scored and 14 steals through 140 games.

Taveras took Bryan Woo deep in the fourth inning for one of three home runs the Rangers hit off him in the frame. The 24-year-old outfielder struggled out of the All-Star break, slashing .195/.228/.322 through August. He's managed to turn things around in September by slashing .365/.438/.492 with seven RBI, 11 runs and a 9:12 BB:K in 21 games.

  • Rangers' Leody Taveras: Enters as pinch hitter

    Rotowire
    Taveras (hand) entered Thursday's game as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning of a 9-2 win over Toronto. Taveras took the first pitch then laid down a sacrifice bunt on the second, which placed less stress on his sore left hand than swinging away might have. The 25-year-old outfielder has been on the bench for three straight games but was slashing .375/.419/.475 in September prior to picking up the injury.
