Rangers' Leody Taveras: Swipes 19th bag
Taveras went 0-for-1 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 14-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.
The center fielder has swiped three bags in his last five games, giving him 19 pilfers on the season, but that's about the only real fantasy contribution Taveras has been making of late. His homer drought sits at 31 games, a stretch in which he's slashing a meager .209/.250/.264 with nine RBI and 13 runs, and his struggles at the plate have been costing him playing time as the Rangers consider their options for 2025.
