FRISCO, Texas (April 6, 2023) – Texas Rangers outfielder Leody Taveras is expected to rehab with the Frisco RoughRiders beginning on Thursday when the RoughRiders open their season against the Amarillo Sod Poodles at 6:35 p.m. from Riders Field.

Taveras was signed by the Rangers and made his professional debut in 2016. The Tenares, Dominican Republic native made his RoughRiders debut in 2019, playing 65 games with Frisco. He hit .265/.320/.375 during that stretch to end the 2019 campaign.

Promoted to the Rangers in the COVID-shortened 2020 season, Taveras played 33 games, hitting .227/.308/.395 with Texas.

Over the next three seasons, Taveras played in 181 total games with Texas, batting .226/.280/.344 and playing centerfield defensively. He missed Opening Day in 2023 with a low-grade oblique strain.

The RoughRiders open their 2023 season on April 6th at 6:35 p.m. against the Amarillo Sod Poodles. The Frisco RoughRiders won the 2022 Texas League Championship, their second title in franchise history.

About the RoughRiders

The Frisco RoughRiders are the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers and the 2022 Texas League champions. In 2023, the team is celebrating its 20th anniversary and has consistently finished in the top five among all Double-A franchises in attendance yearly. In August 2014, the RoughRiders were purchased by an ownership group led by Chuck Greenberg. Since then, the new ownership group, together with the City of Frisco, has spearheaded numerous major franchise enhancements, investing over $8 million in a wide array of facility upgrades and improvements, including a state-of-the-art HD video board, sound system, Bull Moose Saloon, Bullpen Bar, Riders Outpost Team Store and the world's largest water feature in a sports facility, the massive Lazy River. These enhancements earned the Riders and the City of Frisco Ballpark Digest's prestigious "Best Ballpark Renovation" award for two consecutive years (2015 and 2016). More than 185 former RoughRiders players have gone on to play Major League Baseball including current Rangers Josh Jung, Cole Ragans and Bubba Thompson.
