After receiving a seven-figure bonus on Jan. 15, 2021, Tavarez hasn't played much since signing, and now we know he was recovering from thoracic outlet syndrome. It's a procedure that can ruin the career of pitchers, but Tavarez's procedure was to his non-throwing side (left) and the team isn't concerned about the after-effects. He has above-average power and is a good athlete at shortstop, so Tavarez could break out this year now that he's healthy. He went 2-for-6 with one steal on two attempts and four strikeouts in his first game for the GreenJackets.
