Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Taveras has cleared 500 plate appearances in back-to-back seasons with the Rangers, but it may be tough for him to do so again in 2025. While he's performed adequately at the highest level of professional baseball, Taveras has averaged a little over one win above replacement by fWAR over the past four seasons, which just might not be good enough to maintain regular playing time on a Texas club with its sights set on a rebound. He swiped a career-high 23 bags last season and reached double-digit homers for the second straight year. His defense in center field is strong, but Taveras' modest impact with the bat puts him at risk of falling into more of a fourth outfielder role. Evan Carter and Adolis Garcia are expected back in the Texas outfield alongside Wyatt Langford, and Jake Burger, acquired from Miami in the offseason, is now in the mix between first base, third base and DH.

Sitting against southpaw
Taveras is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox.
ANALYSIS
The switch-hitting Taveras looks set to open the season as the Rangers' primary center fielder after Evan Carter was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock earlier this week. However, Taveras will occasionally hit the bench against certain left-handers, and he'll give way to Kevin Pillar in center field Thursday while Boston sends southpaw Garrett Crochet to the bump.

Catch up on the players who won jobs in the final days of camp around the American League, including Cam Smith of the Astros.

Several job battles have been settled around the American League, including the Royals' fifth starter job, which appears to have been won by Kris Bubic.

Spots are up for grabs around the American League West, including in the Rangers rotation, where the young and talented Kumar Rocker may face an uphill battle to break camp in the majors.

Todd Zola explains how projected playing time and a skills-based approach helps him identify upside plays late in a draft, as well as leading him to put Aaron Judge at the top of his personal rankings.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Role not secure
Taveras' starting spot could be in jeopardy once the Rangers return to full strength, reports Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old hit the bench Wednesday for the second time in the past five games, but he delivered a two-run homer off the bench for his first extra-base hit of June. Taveras has a .612 OPS this season and has especially struggled this month, going 4-for-50 with 29.6 percent strikeout rate in 16 games. Evan Carter should remain sidelined by his back injury for at least the next couple weeks, but Taveras may not retain his everyday role in center field much longer if he's unable to build on Wednesday's long ball.
