Sun May 04 23:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Rangers Designate Leody Taveras for Assignment
**ARLINGTON, TX (May 4, 2025)** – The Texas Rangers have designated outfielder Leody Taveras for assignment, according to reports from The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. Taveras, whose remaining 2025 salary is approximately $3.88 million, will remain with the Rangers until another team claims him off waivers. If claimed, the acquiring team would assume the remainder of his contract.
The move comes as the Rangers face roster congestion in the outfield. With the emergence of prospects like Evan Carter and the presence of other established players, Taveras’ playing time has become limited. While considered a solid defender, his offensive production has reportedly fallen short of expectations. The Rangers are hoping to give other outfielders more opportunities.
Several teams have expressed interest in Taveras in the past, including the Cincinnati Reds. The possibility exists that Taveras could be claimed by another club looking for outfield depth.
