Leody Taveras called up, starting Monday for Rangers
Texas Rangers outfielder Leody Taveras is in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Cristian Javier and the Houston Astros.
What It Means:
The Rangers recalled Taveras from Triple-A Round Rock to in a corresponding move with placing Eli White on the injured list with a fractured wrist. White is expected to miss at least six weeks, so Taveras should be able to stick around on the active roster for a while as outfield depth. He is starting in center field and hitting ninth versus Javier and the Astros.
numberFire’s models project Taveras for 8.1 FanDuel points on Monday, and he has a $2,000 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, Javier has the highest strikeout rate this season (30.4%) out of the 20 listed starters.
