Leody Taveras is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 19 (2023). Target Taveras as a free agent outfielder on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Taveras is an underrated piece in the Rangers' league-best offense. He carries a strong .279/.323/.446 slash line with 11 home runs and 10 stolen bases through 89 games this season. The primary downside to Taveras is that he hits at the bottom of the Texas lineup. Nonetheless, the switch-hitter plays a firm everyday role and usually draws four or five plate appearances in a lineup that leads the majors in scoring.

Excluding an impatient 6.1% walk rate, Taveras' underlying numbers suggest a sustainable approach. His outstanding .293 xBA headlines his success, alongside similarly impressive figures, like a .440 xSLG, .341 xwOBA, 41.7% hard-hit rate, and a 20.3% strikeout rate. Taveras will remain a fixture in this potent Rangers lineup for the foreseeable future.
