Rangers' Leody Taveras: Bops first homer
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.

The day off could probably do Taveras some good, as he's gone hitless in 12 at-bats over his last four games to drop his batting average to .200. Evan Carter will shift over from his usual spot in left field to spell Taveras in center.

Rangers' Leody Taveras: Avoids arbitration
Taveras and the Rangers agreed on a one-year, $2.55 million deal Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Taveras provides strong defense in center field and was almost a league average hitter (98 wRC+) in his age-24 season. He projects to once again hit double-digit homers with double-digit steals while hitting towards the bottom of the Rangers' lineup.

Rangers' Leody Taveras: Crushes home run in victory
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.
