Eligibility
Leody Taveras went 3 for 5 with three runs scored and two RBI in the Rangers' 15-8 victory over the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
This performance continues a hot streak for Taveras, as he's now gone 7 for 16 with three RBI and eight runs during his current four-game hitting streak. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Taveras for potential waiver wire value, especially in deeper leagues or as a streaming option when the matchup is favorable.
Leody Taveras went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in the Rangers' dominant 15-4 victory over the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
His performance today, adding a double and driving in a run, provided a glimpse of potential amidst a somewhat tepid season. With a batting average lingering around the .233 mark through 31 games, Taveras's contributions have been modest, but games like this could hint at an upward trend. His ability to hit safely and score runs in a high-scoring game helps his case for more consistent playing time, which could be beneficial for fantasy managers looking for a player with potential to improve as the season progresses. However, his low walk and strikeout rates suggest that he'll need to make significant strides in plate discipline to become a more reliable fantasy asset.
