Taking seat Monday
Taveras is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.
Analysis
The switch-hitting Taveras will hit the bench for the Rangers' second straight matchup with a left-handed starter, as he previously exited the lineup Saturday, when the Giants sent southpaw Robbie Ray to the hill. Kevin Pillar will get the starting nod in center field and could continue to occupy the short side of a platoon with Taveras.

Out of Friday's lineup
Taveras is not in Texas' starting lineup against San Francisco on Friday.
Analysis
Taveras belted a solo homer in Thursday's loss to the Athletics, but he'll begin Friday's contest in the dugout while Dustin Harris starts in center field and bats seventh. Taveras is slashing .200/.212/.292 with six stolen bases, six runs scored, one home run and seven RBI over 66 plate appearances this season.

Homers in return to lineup
Taveras started in center field and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.
Analysis
Taveras, who had been held out of the starting nine the previous three games, returned to action and belted his first homer of the season. The blast pushed his batting average up to .200 (13-for-65) with a 1:19 BB:K, which partially explains why Kevin Pillar, Josh Smith and Dustin Harris started in center field the previous three contests. The switch-hitting Taveras typically sits against lefties, but the Rangers faces righties in two of those three games. Smith is now needed at shortstop to cover for Corey Seager (hamstring), so Taveras' outlook for playing time could improve even if his struggles at the plate continue.

Riding pine Wednesday
Taveras isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Analysis
Taveras owns a .576 OPS against left-handers since 2023, so the Rangers will keep him on the bench Wednesday against southpaw JP Sears. Kevin Pillar will fill the resulting void in center field and bat leadoff.

Idle Tuesday
Taveras is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.
Analysis
Taveras will sit for a second consecutive game Tuesday after going 0-for-6 with a strikeout against the Dodgers over the weekend. Josh Smith will start in center field instead and bat leadoff.
