Leody Taveras went 1-for-5 in an 8-5 win over the Tigers with a home run, two runs scored and one RBI.

EDGE Analysis

After Monday's win over Detroit, Taveras is slashing .228/.310/.352 with five home runs, 38 RBI, 40 runs scored and 10 stolen bases across 91 games. The veteran has struggled at the plate lately, hitting just .140 over his last 15 games.

Taveras went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Taveras tallied his second-highest RBI output of the season, last collecting at least three RBI during the April 20 win in Kansas City. The switch-hitting outfielder had gone hitless in his prior 15 at-bats to Sunday and remains stuck in a part-time role, slashing an uninspiring .237/.314/.364 with 19 extra-base hits, 34 RBI, 10 stolen bases and 35 runs scored over 290 plate appearances this year.

Tavares went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start in center field and batting seventh against left-hander Noah Schultz, Tavares swiped his 10th bag of the year in the sixth inning before swatting his third homer of the season, and first since April 20, in the eighth off Brandon Eisert. With the Orioles' outfield fully healthy again, Tavares will get most of his playing time in a short-side platoon role in place of either Colton Cowser or Dylan Beavers. Through 75 games, Tavares sports a .696 OPS that would be his best mark since 2023.

Taveras is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Taveras has maintained a .248/.324/.363 slash line (95 wRC+) to go with two home runs and nine stolen bases across 260 plate appearances on the season, giving the Orioles adequate production while the team has navigated numerous injuries. However, with Adley Rutschman (concussion) and Dylan Beavers (oblique) returning from the injured list Sunday, the Orioles are perhaps as healthy as they've been at any point this season, which could result in Taveras fading into more of a fourth-outfielder role. Baltimore will go with Taylor Ward, Colton Cowser and Beavers as its starting outfield trio from left to right in Sunday's series finale.

Taveras is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

The re-emergence of Colton Cowser has started to cut into Taveras' playing time a bit, as this is the third time he's been out of the lineup over the last 10 games. Cowser is in center field and Tyler O'Neill will play right field Friday for the Orioles.

Taveras is not in the Orioles' starting lineup against the Blue Jays on Sunday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taveras will take a seat after going 0-for-8 with an RBI over the first two games of the series in Toronto. Taylor Ward, Colton Cowser and Tyler O'Neill will start in the outfield from left to right for Sunday's series finale.

Taveras is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The switch-hitting Taveras will hit the bench for the second time in the series, with both of his absences coming when the Rays have sent lefty starters to the hill. Blaze Alexander will cover center field Wednesday and could end up working in a quasi-platoon with Taveras, who has been far more effective against right-handed pitching both this season and throughout his career.

Taveras is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Taveras will hit the bench Monday following a productive three-game series in Washington over the weekend in which he went 3-for-7 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and two runs. Blaze Alexander will replace Taveras in center field on Monday.

Taveras isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.
