Leody Taveras Starting Rehab Assignment Thursday
2 years agoTexas Rangers outfielder Leody Taveras (oblique) is starting his minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Thursday night. Taveras suffered a left oblique strain around a month ago in spring training, but he's nearing his 2023 debut for the Rangers, barring a setback in the minors. While it's a late start for the 24-year-old, he figures to be the team's starting center field when the Rangers deem him ready to return. Taveras is currently rostered in only two percent of Yahoo leagues, so fantasy managers in deep mixed leagues should consider picking him up now. He hit .261/.309/.366 with five home runs, 34 RBI and a career-high 11 stolen bases in 99 games for Texas last year, and he's most appealing for his speed as outfield depth.
