INJURIES

On bench again Sunday Taveras is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
Impact The 21-year-old popped a home run off the bench Saturday, his second homer in three games, but Taveras remains absent from the starting lineup. He is sitting this time in favor of Steven Duggar in center field. Taveras is batting .279/.311/.442 in 17 games with the big-league team after slashing .294/.335/.485 at Triple-A Round Rock this season.

Swats homer in win Taveras went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Mets.
Impact Taveras entered the game off the bench, pinch hitting for left fielder Brad Miller in the seventh inning then finishing out the game in center field. His ninth-inning homer gave the Rangers added insurance, and it was his second blast in the last three games. The outfielder is outperforming his expected average and slugging rates, but Taveras has reduced his groundball percentage by 20 points (54.8% in 2021 to 34.4% in 2022) and increased his flyball rate (17.4% to 37.5%).

Slugs first homer Taveras went 2-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Royals.
Impact Taveras was the Rangers' lone source of offense when he delivered a leadoff home run in the fifth inning. It was his first homer of the season, though he has only 40 plate appearances at the big-league level. Taveras has gotten regular run in center field since being recalled June 13, and he has maintained a .289 average with five runs scored and a stolen base.

Heads to bench Taveras will sit Tuesday against the Royals.
Impact Taveras has hit a modest .265/.306/.294 with one steal in 13 games since his mid-June call-up, though he's at least slashed his strikeout rate to 22.2 percent after striking out 32.3 percent of the time in his first two years in the league. Steven Duggar will start in center field Tuesday.

García's walk-off homer gives Rangers 3-2 win over Nationals

Swipes first bag Taveras entered Friday's game as a pinch runner and stole a base in a 2-1 loss to the Nationals.
Impact Taveras opened on the bench for the second consecutive game after making eight straight starts. The steal was the first for the outfielder, who's had double-digit thefts every year since joining the organization except for the pandemic-impacted 2020 season (eight in 33 games). Taveras has consistently struggled against MLB pitching, making it difficult to carry his bat in the lineup daily or make use of his speed.
JUNE 25 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting Friday Taveras isn't in the lineup Friday against the Nationals.
Impact Taveras went 5-for-13 with a double, two runs and a walk over his last four games but will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive matchup. Brad Miller, Adolis Garcia and Kole Calhoun are starting in the outfield from left to right.
JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE
Out of lineup Wednesday Taveras is not starting Wednesday versus the Phillies.
Impact Taveras will get a breather after he started eight straight games, going 6-for-24 with a double and three runs scored. Adolis Garcia will slide over to center field while Josh H. Smith enters the lineup in left field and will bat seventh Wednesday.
JUNE 22 • ROTOWIRE
Makes second straight start Taveras started in center field and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Houston.
Impact Taveras started both games in center field since being called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday and is 1-for-6 with a walk over seven plate appearances. Taveras can play defense and has the speed to be a contributor in steals, but he needs work at the plate. The 23-year-old outfielder owns a slash of .187/.250/.318 over 326 major-league plate appearances.

Rangers put Eli White (wrist fracture) on IL, recall Taveras

Texas Rangers center fielder Eli White was put on the injured list with a right wrist fracture, and the team recalled Leody Taveras from Triple-A Round Rock
JUNE 13 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Joins big club The Rangers recalled Taveras from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
Impact With Eli White (wrist) landing on the 15-day injured list and set to undergo surgery Tuesday, Taveras will move up to the big club to give the Rangers some added depth in the outfield. The 23-year-old will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's series opener with the Astros, and he could handle a near-everyday role until the Rangers get one of Mitch Garver or Steele Walker back from the COVID-19-related IL.

Impact Taveras was expected to compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster, though not in a starting role. However, he was hitless across seven at-bats in spring training and will now begin the season in the minors. Taveras spent the majority of the 2021 season at Round Rock and hit .245/.343/.475 with 17 home runs and 13 stolen bases across 381 plate appearances.
