Keeps moving up order Taveras batted third and went 1-for-5 in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Orioles.

Impact Taveras keeps working his way up the batting order; this was the third time in the last four games he's hit among the top third. When he was first brought up from Triple-A Round Rock in June, Taveras was regular at the lower end of the lineup, but as he's experienced success, he's slowly moved up where he'll get more plate appearances. There's a serious question as to whether he can sustain his .829 OPS; a .424 BABIP suggests a correction is coming, but the Rangers see fewer groundballs and a better overall approach.

Garcia leads Rangers against the Mariners after 4-hit outing

The Texas Rangers take on the Seattle Mariners after Adolis García had four hits on Sunday in an 11-8 win over the Athletics

JULY 25, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Three hits in win Taveras went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 11-8 win over the Athletics.

Impact Taveras knocked an RBI single in the third inning and scored a run during the Rangers' six-run fifth. Since the start of July, the 23-year-old has gone 23-for-62 (.371) with five steals and 12 extra-base hits through 19 games. On the year, Taveras is slashing .340/.380/.540 through 108 plate appearances.

Moves to fifth in order Taveras batted fifth and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Athletics.

Impact Taveras has evolved into the Rangers' primary center fielder, mostly due to a better-than-expected bat (.326/.369/.895). He'd mostly hit out of the last two spots in the order but was recently promoted to sixth before getting a shot at fifth, his highest placement yet when starting a game. Since the move up, Taveras is batting .344 (11-for-32) with a home run, six doubles, eight RBI and seven runs scored over nine games. The Rangers should take advantage of Taveras before his BABIP (.418) corrects, and the outfielder's results normalize.

Impact Taveras doubled and stole third in the second inning before ripping a two-run shot off Robbie Ray in the seventh.

The hot streak has boosted Taveras' season slash line to .346/.366/.551 with three home runs and five steals.
