Jun 29 2025Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he's the best defensive center fielder on the Mets' roster, Taylor has faded into a part-time role due to his weak bat, as he's slashing .167/.219/.258 in June. He'll hit the bench for the fourth time in six games while Jeff McNeil gets the nod in center field.
Jun 25 2025Taylor is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For the second straight game and third time over the last five contests, the Mets will go with Jeff McNeil in center field over Taylor, while Ronny Mauricio handles second base. Taylor is slashing only .190/.250/.293 in 20 June games.
Jun 24 2025Taylor is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor has a .190/.250/.293 slash line through 20 games in June and will take a seat Tuesday after starting the previous two contests. Jeff McNeil will move out to center field while Ronny Mauricio receives a start at the keystone.
Jun 21 2025Taylor isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will take a seat Saturday after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's series opener. Jeff McNeil will cover for him in center field while Ronny Mauricio starts at the keystone.
Jun 17 2025Taylor went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Tuesday's loss against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor provided most of the Mets' offense Tuesday with a two-run double in the second inning and a solo shot in the fifth. He'd been stuck in an ugly 9-for-53 (.170) skid since his last multi-hit performance May 23. He went deep for the second time this year and first since April 30. Taylor is slashing .236/.300/.351 with 15 extra-base hits and 19 runs scored through 65 games.
Jun 14 2025Taylor isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will give way to Jeff McNeil in center field after going 0-for-3 with an RBI during Friday's loss. Brett Baty will shift to second base as a result, while Ronny Mauricio covers third.
Jun 13 2025Taylor went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran outfielder is up to eight steals on the season in nine attempts, and half of those successful pilfers have come in his last 12 games. Taylor isn't offering much else as a fantasy asset, however -- over that stretch he's batting just .226 (7-for-31) with zero homers, zero runs and three RBI while consistently hitting near the bottom of the Mets' order. Due to his defense, he'll continue seeing the bulk of the starts in center field until Jose Siri (lower leg) gets healthy, but upgrading the position figures to be one of the front office's top priorities as the trade deadline approaches.
Jun 11 2025Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will head to the bench for the second time in the Mets' last three matchups with right-handed pitching. Though he's the best defensive center fielder on the roster, Taylor could nonetheless be at risk of losing out on regular starts against righties if the Mets are keen on making room in the lineup for the more potent bats of Jeff McNeil, Ronny Mauricio and Jared Young.
Jun 7 2025Taylor is out of the lineup Saturday against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will sit after making consecutive starts. Jeff McNeil will take over in center field, with Brett Baty at second base and Ronny Mauricio at the hot corner.
Jun 4 2025Taylor isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 3-for-18 with an RBI while starting six consecutive games, Taylor will get a chance to rest Wednesday. Jeff McNeil will fill in for him in center field and bat eighth.
May 27 2025Taylor is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor started the previous seven games and will receive a day off after going 8-for-24 with two walks and a double during that stretch. Jeff McNeil will shift to center field while Jared Young enters the lineup at designated hitter.
May 12 2025Taylor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Jeff McNeil will enter the starting nine in place of Taylor, who had occupied center field in each of the Mets' last seven games. Though McNeil boasts a better track record as a hitter at the big-league level, Taylor is regarded as the superior defender, and that may be enough for him to continue seeing the bulk of the starts in center field moving forward.
May 6 2025Taylor went 2-for-3 with a double, a triple and a run scored in Monday's win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start in center field for the sixth time in the last nine games, Taylor remained locked in at the plate. During that stretch, the 31-year-old is batting an eye-popping .480 (12-for-25) with three doubles, a triple, a homer, a steal, three RBI and six runs while typically hitting ninth in the order. Jeff McNeil is mixing in occasionally in center, but as long as Taylor is delivering at the plate, his superior glove should earn him the bulk of the playing time at the position.
May 4 2025Taylor is out of the lineup for first game of Sunday's doubleheader in St. Louis. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since he returned from the injured list April 24, Jeff McNeil has represented Taylor's primary competition for playing time in center field, but McNeil will head back to his familiar spot at second base in the first game of the day while Jose Azocar gets the nod in center. Taylor owns a pedestrian .601 OPS on the season, but he's been playing well of late, going 7-for-15 with three extra-base knocks over his last five games. The Mets should continue to keep at least semi-regular playing time open for Taylor while he's swinging a hot bat.
Apr 30 2025Taylor went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor batted out of the No. 9 spot in the lineup and collected three of New York's seven hits, with one of his knocks being a solo homer in the ninth inning. That long ball was his first of the campaign and came one game after Taylor hit a double to snap a seven-game stretch with no extra-base hits. Taylor went hitless over a span of 14 at-bats between April 22 and April 27 but has gone 6-for-10 with three RBI in three games since.
Apr 19 2025Taylor is not in the Mets' starting lineup against the Cardinals on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will take a seat Saturday after starting in the Mets' last six games, going 4-for-20 with three runs scored and one RBI over that span. Jose Azocar will start in center field for the Mets and bat ninth against Cardinals southpaw Matthew Liberatore.
Apr 15 2025Taylor could receive the bulk of the starts in center field after Jose Siri was diagnosed with a fractured tibia Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor and Siri made eight starts apiece in center through the Mets' first 16 games, with neither player performing well enough to seize the everyday role. Though Siri's absence will clear the way for Taylor to potentially emerge as a mainstay in the lineup, the Mets have some alternatives if the 31-year-old is unable to dramatically improve upon his .158/.179/.211 slash line. Brandon Nimmo made 22 starts in center in 2024 and Luisangel Acuna made 31 starts in center at Triple-A Syracuse last season, though both players would likely represent defensive downgrades from Taylor. The Mets also have Jose Azocar, Gilberto Celestino and Billy McKinney at Syracuse, and it wouldn't be surprising if one of those three players received a call-up Tuesday as the corresponding move to Siri being placed on the injured list.
Apr 12 2025Taylor isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After starting the season with a .308 OPS through 26 plate appearances, Taylor will get another day off Saturday to regroup while Jose Siri starts in center field and bats eighth.
Apr 11 2025Taylor isn't in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will get a breather after starting three consecutive games in center field, during which he went 2-for-12 with an RBI. Jose Siri will take his place and bat ninth.
Apr 8 2025Taylor will start in center field and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 2-0 win, Taylor will be awarded a second consecutive start. Though the Mets' center-field situation appears to be fluid, manager Carlos Mendoza seems to be prioritizing Taylor at the moment while Jose Siri has slashed .059/.200/.118 through the team's first 10 games.
Mar 31 2025Taylor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For the second game in a row, Taylor will hit the bench while the opposition sends a right-hander to the mound. The Mets' center-field situation appears to be fluid, but for now, Jose Siri may be a slightly favored option over Taylor after Siri made an impact in his team debut Saturday in Houston by going 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored.
Mar 29 2025Taylor isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor started both of the Mets' first two games in center field, but he'll give way to Jose Siri on Saturday. The two players are expected to split time in center field somewhat evenly this season, though Taylor's .700 OPS last season compared to Siri's .621 may give the former a slight edge.
Mar 27 2025Taylor drew the start in center field and batted seventh in Thursday's opener versus the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor and Jose Siri could split reps in center field fairly evenly for the Mets, but it was Taylor getting the first crack at the position Opening Day. The 31-year-old collected a .701 OPS with seven homers and 11 steals across 130 regular-season contests for the Mets last season.
Feb 19 2025Taylor (elbow/hernia) took part in Wednesday's full-squad workout, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor appears to be back to full health for spring training after he underwent an umbilical hernia repair Oct. 30 as well as surgery to remove a loose body from his right elbow Nov. 7. Both procedures carried recovery timelines of roughly two months, so Taylor was presumably able to resume working out without restrictions in January before he reported to camp. Taylor is a candidate to open the season as the Mets' starting center fielder, though Jose Siri and Starling Marte will likely push him for playing time in what could end up being a timeshare at the position.
Jan 9 2025The Mets and Taylor (abdomen, elbow) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor had been eligible for salary arbitration for the second time. The outfielder had hernia surgery and surgery to remove a loose body from his elbow earlier this offseason but is expected to be ready in time for Opening Day. He's tentatively penciled in as the Mets' fourth outfielder.
Nov 8 2024Taylor will be sidelined two months following hernia surgery on Oct. 30 and surgery Thursday to remove a loose body from his right elbow. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's unclear when Taylor suffered the injuries. While the rehab will interrupt his offseason workout routine, Taylor should be ready to go for the start of spring training. The 30-year-old tentatively appears in line to start in center field for the Mets next season, although that could certainly change based on offseason additions.
Oct 17 2024Taylor is not in the lineup Thursday for Game 4 of the NLCS against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor had started each of the last five games and nine of 10 contests this postseason, but he will begin Thursday's festivities on the bench as the Mets look to even the series. Harrison Bader is in center field and batting eighth.
Oct 6 2024Taylor is out of the lineup Sunday for Game 2 of the NLDS against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor started in center field in Game 1 and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. He'll give way in the lineup Sunday to Harrison Bader against Phillies lefty Cristopher Sanchez.
Sep 28 2024Taylor isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 0-for-4 against his former team Friday, Taylor will take a seat on the bench Saturday while Harrison Bader patrols center field, batting eighth.
Sep 22 2024Taylor will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will pick up his seventh start in eight games and may have settled into a regular spot in the lineup at the expense of J.D. Martinez, who is in the midst of an 0-for-30 stretch at the plate and will take a seat for the second day in a row. Dating back to the second week of September, Taylor is slashing .385/.484/.654 with one home run, one stolen base, six runs and three RBI over a stretch of 11 games.
Sep 15 2024Taylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor provided an equalizing solo home run in the eighth inning off Cristopher Sanchez. The long ball was Taylor's seventh of the season, and his first since July 24 (40 games). On the year, he's slashing .239/.288/.389 across 302 plate appearances.
Aug 21 2024Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor had started in center field over Harrison Bader in both of the Mets' last two matchups with right-handed pitchers, but Bader is manning center field for the second time in the series while New York faces off against a lefty (Cole Irvin). Manager Carlos Mendoza hasn't indicated that the two outfielders have moved into a platoon, though Bader's ongoing slump might have opened up more opportunities for Taylor in the short term. Bader has gone 3-for-28 over his last 12 games heading into Wednesday.
Aug 6 2024Taylor went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Monday's win over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran outfielder slapped a bases-loaded double down the right-field line in the fifth inning, giving the Mets some insurance runs in a 6-0 victory. Taylor got a rare start in right field against right-hander Andre Pallante with Jesse Winker getting a breather and Jeff McNeil needed at second base, but he's mostly fallen into a short-side platoon role since Winker was acquired. Taylor's been productive of late when called on though, batting .306 (11-for-36) over his last 12 games with three doubles, a homer, a steal, five RBI and seven runs.
Aug 4 2024Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor had started in each of the Mets' last three games, but one of those starts came against a lefty, and another came while Harrison Bader was getting some rest coming off an ankle injury. With the Mets outfield at full strength, Taylor looks to be fourth in line for playing time behind Brandon Nimmo, Jesse Winker and Bader.
Jul 29 2024Taylor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor had started in five of the Mets' previous six games, but he'll likely fade back into a short-side platoon role in the outfield moving forward. In addition to getting center fielder Harrison Bader (ankle) back in the lineup following a five-game absence, the Mets will have the newly acquired Jesse Winker pick up his first start with the team in right field. Brandon Nimmo, Bader and Winker will likely form the Mets' preferred outfield trio against right-handed pitching.
Jul 24 2024Taylor went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor provided a surprise spark from the bottom of the lineup, going yard in the third inning and adding an RBI single in the sixth. The outfielder has hit modestly in July, going 11-for-45 (.244) with six extra-base hits over 15 contests this month. For the season, he's at a .233/.274/.401 slash line with six homers, 25 RBI, 30 runs scored, six stolen bases, 10 doubles and three triples across 216 plate appearances. Taylor may see a short-term uptick in playing time while Harrison Bader recovers from a rolled ankle he sustained Tuesday.
Jul 8 2024Taylor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he appeared to have a firm grasp on an everyday role in right field following Starling Marte's placement on the injured list June 25, Taylor will now sit for the second day in a row after he had started in nine of the preceding 11 contests. Jeff McNeil will get the nod in right field Monday in place of Taylor, who is slashing just .162/.225/.459 since Marte landed on the shelf.
Jul 7 2024Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor has been operating as the Mets' primary right fielder since Starling Marte (knee) landed on the injured list June 25, but he'll exit the starting nine Sunday to clear a spot for DJ Stewart. Thus far during Marte's absence, Taylor is hitting just .162 over 10 games, but five of his six hits during that stretch have gone for extra bases (three home runs, two doubles).
Jun 30 2024Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In the wake of Starling Marte's (knee) move to the injured list, Taylor had settled into a regular role in right field. Taylor started each of the last four games, going 3-for-14 with two home runs, two walks, five RBI and an additional two runs. He'll cede his spot in the outfield to DJ Stewart in the series finale.
Jun 26 2024Taylor went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a walk against the Yankees on Wednesday in a 12-2 victory. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor's biggest contribution was a three-run blast in the sixth inning that essentially put the game on ice, giving the Mets a 10-2 lead. It was the outfielder's first homer since April 24 -- a span of 42 games and 94 at-bats. Taylor has made two straight starts in right field with Starling Marte (knee) on the injured list, so he may have a chance to turn around what has so far been a quiet first season as a Met.
May 17 2024Taylor went 0-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-innings win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start in center field and hitting leadoff, Taylor didn't have much success at the plate but took advantage in the eighth inning when he reached on a Bryson Stott error, swiping second base and coming around to score on a Harrison Bader single. Taylor has seen sporadic playing time of late as the Mets' fourth outfielder, and through 91 plate appearances on the season he's slashing .256/.278/.372 with two homers, four steals, 10 runs and 13 RBI.
May 5 2024Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor is back on the bench for the third time in four games after he recently wrapped up a stretch of five consecutive starts in the Mets outfield. All of Brandon Nimmo, Starling Marte and Harrison Bader are healthy and available, so Taylor will remain limited to a fourth-outfielder role for the foreseeable future.
Apr 29 2024Taylor will start in right field and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Cubs, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will draw a third consecutive start Monday, but he'll be relegated to a fourth- or fifth-outfielder role once Starling Marte (personal) returns from the bereavement list, perhaps as soon as Tuesday. The 30-year-old Taylor has done well with his part-time role in the Mets outfield so far this season, as he enters play Monday with a .294 average, two home runs and two stolen bases over 63 plate appearances.
Apr 25 2024Taylor went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor jumped on a hanging knuckle-curve from Sean Hjelle in the top of the fourth and sent it into the stands in center field to extend the Mets' lead to three runs. He then added a two-out, two-run double in the fifth, giving the outfielder his third multi-hit performance of the season. Taylor has proven to be a reliable contributor on offense for New York when his number's been called, batting .349 in April with two homers, 12 RBI and five runs scored.
Apr 17 2024Taylor went 3-for-4 with a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start in right field and batting seventh, Taylor reeled off his second multi-hit performance of the season while swiping his second base. The 30-year-old has been outstanding so far as the Mets' fourth outfielder, batting .341 (14-for-41) through 15 appearances with a homer, three runs and 10 RBI, and manager Carlos Mendoza hasn't hesitated to give Taylor consistent playing time in the early part of the season.
Apr 11 2024Taylor is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor recently completed a stretch of five consecutive starts, but his boost in playing time was a byproduct of the Mets facing a left-handed pitcher during that stretch in addition to Brandon Nimmo being limited by a hamstring injury. With Nimmo having since returned to his usual spot in left field and the Mets set to face a third consecutive right-handed starting pitcher Thursday, Taylor has now found himself on the bench for each of those contests.
Apr 7 2024Taylor will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Reds, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will draw his fifth straight start Sunday, but he still doesn't look as though he'll be in store for a regular role with the Mets. Before Sunday, each of his prior three starts came while Brandon Nimmo was limited to designated-hitter duties or held out of the lineup as he managed a hamstring issue, but Nimmo is back in left field for the series finale in Cincinnati. The righty-hitting Taylor will stick in the lineup versus southpaw Andrew Abbott on Sunday while Starling Marte gets a day out of the field and occupies the DH spot, but Taylor's opportunities against right-handed pitching are still likely to be limited now that Nimmo is healthy again.
Apr 5 2024Taylor went 2-for-8 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base across both games of Thursday's doubleheader split with the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old wound up starting both ends of the twin bill, getting the nod in center field and batting eighth in the matinee before shifting to left field and hitting sixth in the nightcap. There were right-handers on the mound in both games for Detroit, which is an encouraging sign Taylor won't be limited to a short-side platoon role this season as the top outfielder off the bench for the Mets. Through four appearances to begin the 2024 campaign he's batting .214 (3-for-14) and is still looking for his first extra-base hit.
Mar 17 2024Taylor went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The former Brewer launched a solo shot off J.P. France in the first inning, giving Taylor his first homer of the spring. The 30-year-old is ticketed for a bench spot this season with the Mets and has had a solid camp, batting .296 (8-for-27) with a 2:5 BB:K. Should Taylor get significant playing time in 2024, which isn't out of the question given that neither Starling Marte nor Harrison Bader have played more than 120 games in any of the past three seasons, he could deliver some useful power and speed for fantasy GMs, but his career .239/.294/.451 slash line in the majors highlights his limitations.
Jan 11 2024Taylor signed a one-year, $2.025 million contract with the Mets on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor arrived in New York with Adrian Houser through a trade that sent Coleman Crow (elbow) to Milwaukee in December. Taylor slashed .239/.294/.451 in five seasons with the Brewers and projects to serve as a fourth outfielder for the Mets -- much like he was in Milwaukee.
Dec 20 2023The Mets acquired Taylor and Adrian Houser from the Brewers on Wednesday in exchange for Coleman Crow (elbow), Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor became expendable for the Brewers when they secured top outfield prospect Jackson Chourio to a pre-debut eight-year, $82 million contract earlier this month. Elbow troubles limited Taylor to 81 major-league games in 2023 and he batted just .234 with a .267 on-base percentage across 243 plate appearances when healthy. The 29-year-old projects to function as a fourth outfielder and bench bat in Queens.
Oct 3 2023Taylor is starting in right field and batting ninth Tuesday in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett Mitchell is not on the Brewers' active roster for this best-of-three series versus Arizona, so Sal Frelick will cover center field as Taylor patrols right. Taylor missed some time down the stretch with a hamstring injury, but he ultimately registered a strong .912 OPS across his final 82 plate appearances dating back to the beginning of September.
Sep 28 2023Taylor is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in the Brewers' defeat of St. Louis on Wednesday and is slashing .300/.329/.586 in 73 plate appearances since the beginning of September, but Christian Yelich (back) and Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) now being healthy puts a question mark on his claim to playing time in the Milwaukee outfield. Sal Frelick will also ride the pine in Thursday's series finale against the Cardinals.
Sep 24 2023Taylor (hamstring) is starting in right field and batting ninth Sunday versus Miami. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor missed three consecutive starts after tweaking his hamstring, but he was able to make a pinch-hit appearance during Saturday's loss to the Marlins. Now fully recovered, Taylor will look to stay hot, as he's slashing .305/.339/.610 with four homers and 12 RBI since the start of September.
Sep 23 2023Taylor (hamstring) isn't starting Saturday against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hamstring problems have kept Taylor out of the Brewers' lineup for each of their last two games, and the team will continue to play it safe as it looks to clinch a division title Saturday. Sal Frelick will shift to right field in Taylor's absence while Blake Perkins starts in center field and bats ninth.
Sep 22 2023Taylor is out of the lineup Friday at Miami due to a minor hamstring tweak, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This minor hamstring issue also helps to explain his absence from Thursday's series finale against the Cardinals. McCalvy believes the Brewers are simply being cautious with Taylor, who has slashed .310/.344/.621 with four homers, six doubles, 12 RBI, two steals and 14 runs scored in 17 games since the beginning of September.
Sep 21 2023Taylor is out of the lineup Thursday against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor has been getting a lot of action in the Brewers' outfield with Christian Yelich continuing to battle a back injury, and he's taken advantage of the playing time with six doubles, four homers, two steals, 12 RBI, 14 runs and a .965 OPS through 17 games in September. Mark Canha, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick are starting across the outfield as William Contreras takes a turn in the DH role.
Sep 20 2023Taylor went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor's had a down year in the power department -- he's up to nine homers and a .438 slugging percentage across 75 contests. He's hit four of his homers and added six of his 14 doubles this season in 17 September games. The outfielder is batting .233 with 30 RBI, 34 runs scored and nine stolen bases over 222 plate appearances. He continues to split time between right field and left field.
Sep 16 2023Taylor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored against the Nationals in Saturday's 9-5 victory. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor belted a solo shot to left field in the fourth inning to give the Brewers a 4-1 lead. The long ball extended his modest hitting streak to seven games, during which he's batting .429 (12-for-28) with three doubles, two homers, seven runs, seven RBI and a stolen base. Taylor's recent surge comes after an 11-game slump from the end of August to early September during which he went 3-for-30 with nine strikeouts.
Sep 15 2023Taylor isn't in the Brewers' lineup Friday against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will get a breather Friday as the Brewers welcome outfielders Christian Yelich (back) and Mark Canha (wrist) back into their lineup. Taylor has slashed .325/.341/.500 since the start of September, so he figures to remain a consistent piece of a relatively weak Brewers lineup going forward.
Sep 10 2023Taylor went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and a steal in Saturday's win over the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor's leadoff homer in the top of the eighth gave the Brewers a 3-2 lead and kicked off a three-run inning for the team. He would then come around to score a second time in the ninth, this time on a William Contreras single after the outfielder singled and stole second. The home run was Taylor's first since Aug. 23, and he's now hit safely in four of his last five games. For the month he's batting .250 with three RBI and five runs scored.
Sep 9 2023Taylor sits for the second straight game Saturday against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor was featuring nearly every day throughout the back half of August, but he now finds himself on the bench for the fourth time in the last eight games. Taylor is hitting .100 with a .315 OPS over his last 11 games, dropping his season slash line to .202/.242/.357. Mark Canha starts in right field Saturday.
Sep 8 2023Taylor is out of the lineup Friday against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Christian Yelich, Sal Frelick and Mark Canha will start across the outfield for the visiting Brewers. Taylor went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Wednesday's series finale at Pittsburgh and is batting just .202/.242/.357 across 178 total plate appearances this year.
Sep 1 2023Taylor is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will remain on the bench for a second straight contest as the Brewers launch their three-game home series with Philadelphia. Mark Canha will slot in at right field while Rowdy Tellez takes over at designated hitter and bats sixth in the series opener.
Aug 30 2023Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will cede his spot in the lineup to Rowdy Tellez, who is starting for the second time in the series while Mark Canha spells Taylor in right field. While starting in each of the past 11 games, Taylor has produced a .914 OPS, despite going hitless in 14 at-bats over the last five of those contests.
Aug 20 2023Taylor will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will stick in the lineup for a fourth consecutive game and for the seventh time in eight contests while he's produced a robust .923 OPS with two home runs and one walk against four strikeouts through 13 games in August. In light of his hot hitting, Taylor seems to have moved ahead of Mark Canha and Joey Wiemer for the third spot in Milwaukee's everyday outfield alongside Christian Yelich and Sal Frelick (hamstring).
Aug 7 2023Taylor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 12-1 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor has hit safely in five of his last six games, going 6-for-16 (.375) with three homers and six RBI in that span. He got the start in right field Monday with Sal Frelick covering for Joey Wiemer in center. Taylor remains limited to a part-time role, and he may be hard pressed to get out of it even with his recent success -- he's slashing just .188/.202/.337 over 104 plate appearances on the year.
Aug 3 2023Taylor went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor put the Brewers on the board with a solo home run off MacKenzie Gore in the top of the second and was later replaced by Sal Frelick in the seventh. It was just Taylor's third home run of the season, though two of those have come in his last four games. He's added four RBI over that stretch.
Jul 27 2023Taylor went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Cincinnati. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor snapped a scoreless tie in the seventh inning Wednesday with a two-run homer off Ben Lively, powering the Brewers to a 3-0 win. The home run was just Taylor's second hit since returning from the IL on July 14 -- he's now just 2-for-13 (.154) in that span. Overall, the 29-year-old outfielder is slashing .159/.176/.261 with two homers, seven runs scored, six RBI and six steals across 91 plate appearances in a reserve role with the Brewers this season.
Jul 14 2023The Brewers reinstated Taylor (elbow) from the 10-day injured list Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor has been on the shelf with a sprained right elbow since the beginning of June, and he'll now return to the active roster to begin the Brewers' second half of the season. Taylor is slashing just .160/.179/.240 across 78 plate appearances this season and will have to battle for playing time in the Brewers' crowded outfield.
Jun 29 2023Taylor (elbow) was cleared to begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Nashville, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor has appeared in only 27 games this season for the Brewers due to lingering elbow troubles, but he appears to be over the hump now after his latest setback in early June. The 29-year-old outfielder should be able to return to major-league action before the All-Star break if all goes well on the farm.
Jun 10 2023Taylor has received multiple opinions on his right elbow and will receive a cortisone shot, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Elbow issues cost Taylor over a month to start the year, and just one month later, he was right back on the injured list with the same problem. The Brewers will hope the cortisone shot has the desired effect, but he's already tried a PRP injection during spring training which failed to permanently address the issue.
Jun 3 2023Taylor was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to June 2, with a right elbow sprain. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This is an ominous development for Taylor, who missed the opening month of the 2023 campaign with the same diagnosis of a sprain in his right elbow. There's no timetable on this latest setback, but it will likely be more than just a 10-day absence. Blake Perkins is joining the Brewers as outfield depth ahead of Saturday's game in Cincinnati.
Jun 2 2023Taylor is not in the lineup Friday due to renewed soreness in his right elbow, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor spent the first month of the season on the injured list with a sprained right elbow and it's now giving him trouble again. While the Brewers are saying he's available off the bench Friday, he will need to get checked out by the doctor to find out whether some more down time is required.
May 31 2023Taylor is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Christian Yelich, Joey Wiemer and Brian Anderson are starting across the outfield for the Brewers. Abraham Toro is at third base. Taylor has gone 0-for-10 with five strikeouts over his last three games and is slashing just .167/.187/.250 through 75 total plate appearances this season.
May 28 2023Taylor will start in right field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor is included in the starting nine for the third consecutive game, and he looks like he'll be the primary beneficiary from a playing-time standpoint of Willy Adames going on the 7-day injured list Saturday. With Adames out of the mix, Brice Turang has taken over as the Brewers' everyday shortstop, while Brian Anderson has moved back to the infield to open up a spot in the corner outfield for Taylor.
May 24 2023Taylor is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will remain on the bench for the second straight game and the third time over the last four contests. Brian Anderson will draw another start in right field while Owen Miller takes over at the hot corner and bats fourth in the series finale with Houston.
May 23 2023Taylor is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brian Anderson is playing right field and batting fifth, with Owen Miller covering third base and hitting sixth. Taylor holds a weak .179/.203/.268 slash line in 19 games (59 plate appearances) since missing the first month of the 2023 campaign due to a right elbow sprain.
May 21 2023Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor started the previous six contests but will head to the bench after going 2-for-20 with a double, two walks and a run during that stretch. He has yet to get going offensively since coming off the injured list with a .170/.196/.245 slash line in 17 games. Owen Miller is starting at third base Sunday, pushing Brian Anderson to right field.
May 13 2023Taylor will sit Saturday against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor missed all of April while recovering from a sprained elbow but has been a lineup fixture since his return, sitting just twice in 11 games. Brian Anderson will move out to right field Saturday while Owen Miller starts at third base.
May 6 2023Taylor is not in Saturday's lineup against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor heads to the bench after going 2-for-13 with one home run and one steal in four games since coming off the injured list. Brian Anderson will start in right field while Owen Miller starts at the hot corner.
May 5 2023Taylor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to Colorado on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor smacked a 393-foot shot to left field in the fifth inning for his first hit of the campaign. The outfielder had been on the injured list until Tuesday, so he has just three games under his belt. He's gone 1-for-10 across the trio of contests.
May 2 2023Taylor (elbow) was activated Tuesday from the 10-day injured list, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. He is starting in right field and batting eighth in his season debut at Coors Field. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor missed the opening month of the 2023 campaign while recovering from a right elbow sprain, but he's ready to rock now following a five-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville during which he posted an .828 OPS across 23 plate appearances. The 29-year-old should be something close to a regular presence in the Brewers' outfield moving forward and can offer useful power and speed production in deeper fantasy formats.
Apr 30 2023Taylor (elbow) could be activated from the 10-day injured list during the Brewers' upcoming road trip, which runs Tuesday through next Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old has played in three games on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville, and he may not need much more action in the minors before joining the big club. Taylor has been on the shelf for the first month of the season with a sprained elbow, but he should see regular playing time in right field once activated, especially with Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) facing an extended absence.
Mar 29 2023Taylor (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The move is retroactive to Monday, but Taylor isn't expected to be ready to join the Brewers until May as he recovers from a right elbow sprain. He had only recently resumed on-field work as spring training came to an end.
Mar 1 2023Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that Taylor returned to Milwaukee to receive a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right elbow and is likely to miss the first month of the season, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor reported to camp with a right elbow sprain and hasn't made quick progress in his recovery. The 29-year-old won't be ready to resume baseball activities for at least three more weeks and will begin the season on the injured list. Taylor's absence could clear the way for non-roster invitee Tyler Naquin to win a spot on the Opening Day roster, possibly as a platoon option in the corner outfield with Brian Anderson.
Feb 28 2023Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that Taylor (elbow) is in jeopardy of missing the start of the regular season, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor was diagnosed with a right elbow sprain earlier this month and hasn't progressed as quickly as hoped. He had been penciled in as the Opening Day right fielder for Milwaukee. Maybe that job now falls to non-roster invitee Tyler Naquin. Brian Anderson could also get looks in right, and the Brewers do have a number of highly-touted outfield prospects.
Feb 22 2023Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that Taylor is expected to miss approximately two weeks after suffering a right elbow sprain, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will be forced to miss the start of spring training while nursing the injury, but he should still be able to get plenty of reps before Opening Day on March 30. The outfielder has seen his role increase each season of his four-year career with the Brewers, starting 120 games last year while producing a .233 average, 17 home runs, 51 RBI, 49 runs and three stolen bases over 373 at-bats.
Sep 19 2022Taylor isn't starting Monday against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two runs during Sunday's series finale against the Yankees, Taylor still appears to be behind Garrett Mitchell for work in center field. Taylor will head to the bench Monday for the third time in four games.
Sep 17 2022Taylor isn't starting Saturday against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor has split playing time in center field recently and will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. Garrett Mitchell is starting in center field and batting ninth.
Sep 16 2022Taylor isn't starting Friday against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor started the last two games and went 1-for-6 with two runs, an RBI and two strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Garrett Mitchell starts in center field and bats ninth.
Sep 14 2022Taylor will start in center field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For the second time in the Brewers' last three matchups with right-handed starting pitchers, Taylor will be included in the lineup while Garrett Mitchell sits. Taylor looks to have reclaimed the primary center-field role away from Mitchell, who is hitting .138 with a 4:15 BB:K in 13 games since his late-August promotion from Triple-A Nashville.
Sep 10 2022Taylor went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor was responsible for Milwaukee's only runs of the game, sending himself and Luis Urias home on a two-run shot in the third inning. It was his 16th homer of the year and his third this month. The outfielder is off to a much better month than his last one, slashing .278/.316/.833 in 18 at-bats. One issue that still persists for Taylor is his strikeouts. He has more strikeouts than hits and walks combined for this month, limiting his upside in batting average. Since beginning the month with a .219 batting average, he is up to just .224 on the year despite going 5-for-18 across his last seven contests.
Sep 3 2022Taylor went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double, a stolen base, three total runs and three total RBI in Saturdays' 8-6 extra-inning win against Arizona. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor came up big for Milwaukee in the win, giving the team a 4-3 lead with his solo homer in the sixth inning and providing the winning margin with a two-run, 428-foot shot in the top of the 10th. It was the first multi-homer game of the season for Taylor, who has posted career highs with 15 home runs and 44 RBI on the campaign. Taylor has been seeing his playing time dip after a rough August, so perhaps this performance will help him get back into the lineup more often.
Aug 30 2022Taylor is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor has made more starts in center field this season than any other Brewer, but he will give way to rookie Garrett Mitchell for a third day in a row. Taylor hit just .197 (15-for-76) over his last 28 games, so Mitchell could continue cutting into his playing time against right-handed starting pitchers.
Aug 29 2022Taylor isn't starting Monday against the Pirates, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will head to the bench for a second consecutive game while rookie Garrett Mitchell remains in center field and bats ninth. Over his last three games, Taylor has gone 2-for-9 with a homer, two runs and five strikeouts.
Aug 28 2022Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will take a seat for the series finale while rookie Garrett Mitchell -- who was called up from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday -- picks up his first MLB start in the series finale. Though he's held down a regular spot in the Milwaukee outfield since Lorenzo Cain was released earlier this season, Taylor hasn't offered much to get excited about for fantasy purposes of late. Thus far in August, Taylor is hitting .200 with two home runs, no stolen bases, eight runs and five RBI over 22 games.
Aug 27 2022Taylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Cubs on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor set a career-high home run total with his 13th long ball of the 2022 campaign. He had previously hit 12 last season. It has been a cold month of August overall for Taylor. He is slashing .207/.258/.345 with two homers over 58 at-bats this month.
Aug 23 2022Taylor is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old is 2-for-15 with nine strikeouts over his past seven contests and will take a seat Tuesday in Los Angeles. Jonathan Davis will start in center field and bat ninth in Taylor's place.
Aug 20 2022Taylor is not in Saturday's lineup against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor is hitting .196/.245/.304 with one home run and zero steals in 15 games this month. Jonathan Davis will start in center field and hit ninth.
Aug 16 2022Taylor is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor doubled in Monday's contest, but he is also hitting just .217 (18-for-83) in 26 games since June 25, so manager Craig Counsell decided to hold him out for the second time in three days. Jonathan Davis will cover center field for the Brewers on Tuesday night.
Aug 14 2022Taylor is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor went just 5-for-25 (.200) over his last eight games, so manager Craig Counsell decided it was time for a mental break. Jonathan Davis will start in center field in Taylor's place.
Aug 5 2022Taylor went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 5-1 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor padded the Brewers' lead with his second-inning blast, which was his second homer in his last six games. In that span, he's gone a meager 4-for-19 (.211) with three walks. The outfielder has matched his career-high 12 homers from 93 games last season in just 75 contests this year. He's added a stolen base, 39 RBI, 29 runs scored, 13 doubles, two triples and a .228/.280/.437 slash line. Taylor continues to see a majority of the playing time in center field over Jonathan Davis.
Aug 4 2022Taylor is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the Brewers electing to give one of their big trade-deadline pickups, outfield prospect Esteury Ruiz, more time to develop at Triple-A Nashville, Taylor looks like he'll stick as Milwaukee's primary option in center field. Jonathan Davis will draw the start at the position Thursday, but that's likely a byproduct of manager Craig Counsell electing to extend Taylor some rest for the day game after a night game.
Jul 31 2022Taylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor's ninth-inning solo blast off Hirokazu Sawamura was his second home run since the All-Star break and second extra-base hit of the series. He'll draw his fourth consecutive start in center field in the series finale, batting out of the No. 9 spot in the order.
Jul 24 2022Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor missed three weeks with a concussion but returned to action for Milwaukee on Friday, and he'll take a seat Sunday after going 2-for-9 with an RBI and three strikeouts in the past two games. Jonathan Davis will man center field and bat ninth.
Jul 22 2022Taylor (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list and is starting Friday against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor spent nearly three weeks on the injured list due to a concussion but recently appeared in two rehab games and went 3-for-8 with a run, a stolen base and a strikeout. He's starting in center field and batting ninth Friday.
Jul 15 2022Taylor (concussion) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor landed on the 7-day concussion injured list July 3 and was initially expected to rejoin the Brewers this weekend, but he experienced a setback in his recovery. It wouldn't be surprising to see the team exercise caution by holding Taylor out until after the All-Star break.
Jul 12 2022Taylor experienced a setback in his recovery from a concussion, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor felt his concussion symptoms return after working out over the weekend, so his return will likely be pushed back at least a day or two. He may be sidelined until after the All-Star break, but he is set to hit Tuesday, and there is still a chance he could be activated before the first half comes to a close.
Jul 9 2022Taylor (concussion) appears likely to return during the Brewers' series against the Giants that begins July 14, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor has been on the 7-day concussion injured list since Sunday, but he'll presumably need to spend more than the minimum amount of time on the shelf. The 28-year-old will work on ramping up his workload over the next few days before potentially returning to the active roster shortly before the All-Star break.
Jul 3 2022The Brewers placed Taylor on the 7-day concussion injured list Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Catcher Pedro Severino (suspension) was reinstated from the restricted list and will replace Taylor on the 26-man active roster, but Taylor's move to the IL should free up more playing time in the outfield for both Jace Peterson and Jonathan Davis. The two players had previously been working in a platoon in the outfield while Hunter Renfroe (calf) has been on the IL. Since Taylor's stint on the IL is retroactive to Saturday, he'll be eligible for activation as soon as July 9.
Jul 2 2022Taylor is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Make it back-to-back absences from the lineup for Taylor; a pinch-hit single and a run scored off the bench Friday weren't enough to get him back in there. Taylor ended June with just a .205/.279/.462 line in his final 11 games of the month, though it's still surprising to see him sitting, as most expected Taylor to get a long look after Lorenzo Cain was designated for assignment. It's possible manager Craig Counsell just wants to keep Jonathan Davis fresh.
Jul 1 2022Taylor will sit Friday against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will get a day off after he went 1-for-4 from the plate in Thursday's series opener. Jonathan Davis will draw the start in center field and bat ninth against Pittsburgh.
Jun 24 2022Taylor went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor has five hits in his last five games, but three of those knocks have left the yard as the outfielder has rediscovered his power swing. He went deep in the seventh inning of Friday's contest, though it was too late to make an impact. Taylor is now slashing .231/.281/.441 with nine homers, 31 RBI, 21 runs scored, a stolen base, 12 doubles and a triple through 210 plate appearances.
Jun 23 2022Taylor went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 6-4 win against St. Louis. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor struck out twice in the contest, but his lone hit was a big one -- the outfielder slugged a three-run shot in the fourth inning that accounted for half of Milwaukee's run output. Despite Thursday's big blast, it has been a tough June for Taylor, who is batting a meager .169 (11-for-65) with a 2:17 BB:K over 18 games this month.
Jun 20 2022Taylor went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 2-0 win over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor took Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas deep in the fifth inning, and that homer was all the run support Corbin Burnes needed. In his last nine games, Taylor has gone 7-for-30 (.233), but he's hit safely in six of those contests. The 28-year-old is poised for a regular role in center field with Lorenzo Cain designated for assignment over the weekend. Taylor is slashing .227/.273/.420 with seven homers, 27 RBI, 17 runs scored, a stolen base, 12 doubles and a triple in 194 plate appearances. While his spot in the lineup is safe, he shouldn't be expected to hit above the bottom third of the order.
Jun 19 2022Taylor will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor was recently on the bench for consecutive games Wednesday and Thursday against the Mets, but the Brewers' decision to designate Lorenzo Cain for assignment means that Taylor should have an even clearer path to steady playing time in the outfield moving forward. The 28-year-old will stick in the lineup Sunday for the third straight contest despite having posted an underwhelming .434 OPS thus far in June.
Jun 16 2022Taylor is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor was on the bench for Wednesday's 10-2 win while lefty David Peterson toed the rubber for the Mets, and the outfielder will remain on the bench again Thursday with righty Tylor Megill starting for New York. Though Taylor still appears to be manager Craig Counsell's preferred option in center field, the skipper may have wanted to reward Lorenzo Cain with another start after he went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run in Wednesday's victory.
Jun 15 2022Taylor isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor is out of the lineup for the second time in the last four games after he went 2-for-6 with a double, a run and a strikeout over the last two matchups. Lorenzo Cain will start in center field and bat eighth.
Jun 11 2022Taylor is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor has gone just 3-of-32 (.094) at the plate since the start of June, so he will be held out for the second time in four days. Lorenzo Cain will start in center field in Taylor's place.
Jun 8 2022Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though Taylor is on the bench Wednesday, he may have supplanted Lorenzo Cain as the Brewers' top center fielder by this point. Taylor was in the lineup for each of the last 17 games, and Cain was excluded from the starting nine for the past two contests, when the Brewers faced one right-hander (Mike Clevinger) and one left-hander (Ranger Suarez). Taylor holds a 243-point edge in OPS over Cain this season, and despite the latter's more extensive track record at the big-league level, the discrepancy in the two players' performances may be too great for manager Craig Counsell to ignore.
May 30 2022Taylor went 2-for-7 with two home runs, three RBI, three runs scored and a walk in both games of Monday's doubleheader versus the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor connected for a two-run blast in the first game, pulling the Brewers level at 4-4. He added a solo shot in the nightcap, which served as an insurance run in the 3-1 win. The outfielder has collected all five of his homers this year in his last 11 contests. For the season, the 28-year-old sports a .252/.301/.472 slash line with 22 RBI, 13 runs scored, a stolen base, seven doubles and a triple in 36 games.
May 25 2022Taylor went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor's big blast to left field in the sixth inning broke a 1-1 tie and proved to be the difference-making hit as the Brewers snapped the Padres' five-game winning streak. With Hunter Renfroe heading to the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a low-grade hamstring strain that will likely keep him out for around two weeks, Taylor should have a clear path to a near-everyday role in the short term in either the outfield or at designated hitter.
May 24 2022Taylor is starting in right field and batting cleanup Tuesday against San Diego. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old already started four of the past five games in center field over Lorenzo Cain, but he's now likely to operate as Milwaukee's primary right fielder after Hunter Renfroe (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Taylor got off to a slow start this season, but he's come alive of late and is 7-for-16 with two home runs, seven RBI and three runs over his past four appearances.
May 21 2022Taylor went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's victory over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor picked up his second multi-hit game of the season Wednesday, and he followed that up by knocking in a season-high three runs in Friday's contest. While Taylor has not been hitting all that much, he has been playing regularly, starting each of the Brewers' last six games.
May 11 2022Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor went 4-for-16 with a walk, a run and two RBI across the last four games, but he'll bow out of the lineup for the series finale with Jace Peterson getting a look in left field. While Andrew McCutchen (illness) is on the COVID-19 injured list, Taylor looks like he'll continue to serve as his primary replacement in the outfield or at designated hitter.
May 9 2022Taylor will start in center field and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor will remain in the starting nine for the third game in a row, with Andrew McCutchen's (illness) recent move to the COVID-19 injured list having opened up more playing time for him. In his two starts against Atlanta over the weekend, Taylor went a combined 2-for-7 with a walk and an RBI.
May 6 2022Taylor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's victory over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The long ball was the first of the season for Taylor, who despite hitting just .204 does have seven extra-base hits in 52 PA. Taylor is working in a reserve role, but with fellow outfielder Andrew McCutchen serving primarily as the designated hitter, he has made 13 starts in the outfield through 26 games.
Apr 26 2022Taylor will start in right field and bat sixth in Tuesday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Hunter Renfroe getting a maintenance day, Taylor will enter the starting nine for only the third time in eight games. Taylor has hit a double in each of his last three starts, but he has yet to leave the yard over his 30 plate appearances on the season.
Apr 18 2022Taylor went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's victory over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor went just 2-for-18 over his first six games of the season, but he matched the hit total in Sunday's game alone and also knocked in his first two runs of the season. Taylor does not occupy a starting spot on the Brewers' depth chart, but he has seen ample action early, starting six of the 10 games the Brewers have played to date.
Apr 3 2022Taylor went 1-for-4 with a double in Saturday's spring game versus the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor is flashing his power this spring, recording six extra-base hits -- three doubles and three homers -- to go along with eight RBI and a .920 slugging percentage and 1.349 OPS over 28 plate appearances. Despite the hot spring, Taylor will open as a reserve in a crowded Brewers outfield. However, he still figures to see a fair share of starts in order to keep the regulars fresh.
Sep 29 2021Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor started each of the Brewers' last three games, going 1-for-11. Manager Craig Counsell will likely look to find ways to get the righty-hitting Taylor's bat in the lineup versus southpaws, but he'll typically ride the bench when the Brewers oppose right-handers like the Cardinals' Miles Mikolas.
Sep 23 2021Taylor went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a solo home run during Thursday's loss to the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor accounted for all of Milwaukee's runs Thursday, delivering a grand slam in the first inning and a solo shot in the fourth, both against Adam Wainwright. The hits were his first since being activated from the injured list Tuesday following a month-long absence due to an oblique injury. Across 85 games this season, Taylor is batting .247/.322/.475 with 12 long balls.
Sep 21 2021Taylor (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor spent a month on the injured list but recently began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville. He went 6-for-13 with two doubles, three runs and two RBI across five rehab games and has now been cleared to rejoin the major-league club. The 27-year-old will serve mainly as outfield depth but is starting in center field and batting eighth in Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Sep 18 2021Taylor (oblique) will remain on his rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville for the near future, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old began the rehab stint Sept. 10 and is 2-for-7 with a walk through three games as he returns from the oblique strain that landed him on the shelf in mid-August. Taylor appears to be nearing full health, if he's not already fully recovered, but he'll continue the rehab assignment in the minors as a way to get regular playing time as opposed to serving in a reserve role for the big-league club.
Sep 11 2021Taylor (oblique) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He went 1-for 2 against Memphis in his first action since Aug. 20. Taylor could return to the majors sometime next week.
Sep 6 2021Taylor (oblique) expects to begin a rehab assignment Thursday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor has been sidelined since Aug. 21 due to a right oblique strain that carries a recovery timetable of 3-4 weeks. He ran the bases ahead of Monday's game against the Phillies and will likely be able to return to game action late in the week.
Aug 21 2021Taylor (oblique) will likely be sidelined 3-4 weeks, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: More details about Taylor's recovery should come out in the next couple weeks, but he'll almost certainly be out until the middle of September, if not longer.
Aug 20 2021Taylor (oblique) will be placed on the injured list Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor suffered a right oblique injury during his second at-bat Friday, and he'll undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of the issue. However, manager Craig Counsell revealed after the game that the outfielder will be forced to spend time on the injured list. Jackie Bradley and Jace Peterson will be available to fill Taylor's role as depth in the outfield.
Aug 15 2021Taylor remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The recent returns of Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich from the injured list have resulted in Taylor losing hold of an everyday role in the Milwaukee lineup after the 27-year-old had previously started 10 straight games between July 27 and Aug. 7. In the eight games since, Taylor has picked up only two starts. He at least made an impact when he was in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader versus Pittsburgh, going 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Milwaukee's 14-4 loss.
Aug 14 2021Taylor went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in a 14-4 loss to the Pirates during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He took Bryse Wilson deep in the top of the fourth inning, tying the game at 4-4, but it was all downhill from there for Milwaukee. Taylor hadn't gone yard since July 24, snapping a 15-game homer drought during which he'd slashed .231/.286/.365, and on the season the 27-year-old is batting .249 with 10 homers and 37 RBI through 80 contests.
Aug 8 2021Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor's move to the bench ends a streak of 10 consecutive starts, during which he slashed .211/.286/.342 with four extra-base hits (three doubles, one triple) across 38 at-bats. He appears to have moved ahead of Jackie Bradley in Milwaukee's outfield pecking order, but Taylor may find himself on the bench more regularly now that Christian Yelich has returned from the COVID-19 injured list. Expect Yelich, Lorenzo Cain and Avisail Garcia to form Milwaukee's outfield more often than not.
Aug 1 2021Taylor will start in left field and lead off Sunday against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Kolten Wong getting a breather, Taylor will get a look in the table-setting role in what marks his fifth straight start. The recent return of Lorenzo Cain from the injured list appears to have hurt Taylor less than the struggling Jackie Bradley, who has sat out three of the past four games. Christian Yelich's eventual return from the COVID-19 injured list will likely prove more punitive for Taylor, who is holding down a strong .831 OPS on the season.
Jul 24 2021Taylor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After hitting his first career grand slam Friday, Taylor kept the good times rolling with another homer on Saturday. The 27-year-old has been red hot since the All-Star break, batting .389 with two home runs and seven RBI. While the outfielder has been used as a pinch hitter for many of his plate appearances this season, his current run of form might require the Brewers to reconsider his role.
Jul 23 2021Taylor went 1-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk in Friday's 7-1 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor put Milwaukee comfortably ahead and capped off a six-run seventh inning with his first career slam. The 27-year-old is slashing .240/.331/.440 with eight homers, 30 RBI and 20 runs scored through 172 plate appearances. He has mostly been limited to a bench role, starting just three of the last eight games, likely due to Milwaukee facing seven right-handed starters in that span.
Jul 11 2021Taylor went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor entered the game in the top of the seventh as a defensive replacement over Christian Yelich and made his presence felt on his lone at-bat, hitting his seventh homer of the campaign and tying the score at 3-3. That homer snapped a four-game hitless streak for Taylor, as well as ending a drought of 20 games without a homer.
Jul 2 2021Taylor went 1-for-3 with two RBI, two runs scored and two walks in Thursday's win over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor plated home both Christian Yelich and Omar Narvaez with a two-run single in the top of the ninth inning, and this was just the second time all season long he managed to reach base at least three times. The 27-year-old only has a .663 OPS over his last eight games while also getting more time in the outfield, but he'd need to improve his overall numbers to justify the increase in at-bats he's receiving of late.
Jul 1 2021Taylor will start in right field and bat fifth Thursday against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll be included in the lineup for the fifth time in six games, with his last two starts coming at the expense of Avisail Garcia. The Brewers could be inclined the ride the hotter bat of the two outfielders, as both have provided similar production on the whole this season. Taylor owns a .727 OPS over 127 plate appearances, while Garcia is holding down a .750 OPS in 283 plate appearances.
Jun 23 2021Taylor went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Arizona. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wednesday was Taylor's first start since he returned from a shoulder injury that required a minimum stay on the injured list. The 27-year-old singled and stole second in the fourth inning. He also singled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jackie Bradley in the seventh. For the year, Taylor is is slashing .223/.311/.447 with six home runs, 15 RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases across 106 plate appearances. He's set to take on a depth role, as Christian Yelich, Bradley and Avisail Garcia are likely to be Milwaukee's preferred outfield trio.
Jun 22 2021Taylor (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As expected, Taylor required a short stay on the IL after being placed on it June 13 with a right shoulder strain. He has certainly struggled offensively this season, hitting .216 in 88 at-bats, but serves as valuable depth and will not be a regular starter now that Christian Yelich is healthy.
Jun 19 2021Taylor (shoulder) threw and took batting practice Saturday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain June 13. The outfielder's IL stint was initially expected to be on the shorter side, and things appear to be trending in that direction at this point. He's eligible to be activated Monday, though it's possible he'll need a few more days before being reinstated.
Jun 18 2021Taylor (shoulder) is doing much better and hopes for a brief stay on the injured list, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor landed on the injured list with a right shoulder strain Saturday, but his injury is unlikely to require a lengthy absence. The 27-year-old is eligible to return during the team's upcoming series in Arizona, and he should take on a depth role in the outfield once he's back in action.
Jun 13 2021The Brewers placed Taylor on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained right shoulder. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Utility man Tim Lopes was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to take Taylor's spot on the active roster. The 27-year-old Taylor had been working as a fourth outfielder for Milwaukee of late, with most of his starts coming against left-handed pitching. Lopes could be a candidate to serve as a short-side platoon partner with lefty-hitting center fielder Jackie Bradley while Taylor is on the shelf.
Jun 2 2021Taylor went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The two teams combined for nine homers on the night, and Taylor joined in the barrage in his first game since returning to the big-league roster. On the season, the 27-year-old is slashing .218/.307/.449 with five home runs and 12 RBI in 88 plate appearances, and he could handle a short-side platoon role in the Milwaukee outfield with Lorenzo Cain (hamstring) back on the IL.
Jun 1 2021Taylor was recalled from Triple-A Nashville Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Lorenzo Cain landing on the 10-day IL Tuesday with a strained right hamstring, Taylor will head back to the majors just a week after being optioned to Nashville. The outfielder will look to find greater success at the plate after slashing just .203/.298/.365 through 84 major-league plate appearances so far this season.
May 25 2021Taylor was optioned to Triple-A Nashville ahead of Tuesday's game against the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor's demotion is less than shocking, considering he's slashed just .203/.298/.365 across 84 plate appearances this season. Eric Yardley was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and will take Taylor's roster spot.
May 16 2021Taylor is out of the lineup Sunday against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor started the past two games while mired in an 0-for-12 slump. Jackie Bradley, Lorenzo Cain and Avisail Garcia will start from left to right in the outfield Sunday for Milwaukee.
May 9 2021Taylor will start in right field and bat third Sunday against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll be picking up his fourth start in a row Sunday, with two of them coming versus right-handed pitchers and two versus lefties. Taylor doesn't yet appear to have seized a full-time role, as Milwaukee is likely to roll with Jackie Bradley, Avisail Garcia and Lorenzo Cain as its primary starters in the outfield while Christian Yelich (back) is on the shelf.
May 4 2021Taylor was recalled by the Brewers on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor has hit .323/.400/.581 in 35 plate appearances for the Brewers this season but was optioned to the minors on Monday when Christian Yelich (back) returned from the injured list. Yelich was sent right back to the injured list Tuesday, so Taylor is set to get more opportunities with the major-league squad. He'll bat sixth and start in right field Tuesday against the Phillies.
May 3 2021Taylor was optioned to the Brewers' alternate training site Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor impressed in his time on the big-league roster, hitting .323/.400/.581 in 35 plate appearances. He's no longer needed with both Christian Yelich (back) and Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps) returning from the injured list, so he'll head to the minors to get regular at-bats and stay fresh for the next time the team needs another outfielder.
Apr 28 2021Taylor went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor thrived in the lead-off role with manager Craig Counsell deciding to give Kolten Wong the day off. The 27-year-old went back-to-back with pitcher Adrian Houser in the second inning to give his team a 2-1 lead. He would later get his second RBI on a groundout in the fourth and then capped off his stellar night with an RBI single to right. Taylor now has consecutive multi-hit games for the first time in his young career and is slashing .474/.565/.895 with two home runs, seven RBI and two runs scored in 11 games as a fill-in for the injured Christian Yelich (back) and Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps).
Apr 20 2021Taylor went 1-for-1 with a solo home run during Monday's 3-1 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor came up to the plate to begin the eighth as a pinch hitter and drove a Drew Pomeranz fastball 440 feet over the fence in right to extend the Brewers' lead to 3-1. It was the 27-year-old's first home run and second hit overall since being called up April 14, as he'll continue to hold a depth role while Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps) is on the 10-day injured list.
Apr 14 2021Taylor was recalled from the Brewers' alternate training site Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor was unable to break camp with the big-league club to begin the regular season, but he'll now serve as outfield depth after Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Taylor appeared in 22 games for the Brewers last season and hit .237 with two home runs and six RBI.
Mar 29 2021Taylor suffered a bruised thigh during Saturday's spring game and will be held out for the final exhibition Tuesday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor isn't expected to miss much time as a result of the injury. He's played well for Milwaukee during the spring, hitting .293 with two home runs, four RBI and a stolen base, but he's unlikely to make the Opening Day roster with the abundance of outfield depth the Brewers currently possess.
Mar 22 2021Taylor added strength this offseason and has impressed the team, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Mar 1 2021Taylor went 2-for-3 with a home run in Sunday's spring opener. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor held his own last year in his first extended look at the big-league level, and he got his 2021 spring off to a good start. The Brewers' starting outfield is set as long as everyone is healthy, but a quality exhibition campaign could help Taylor open the regular season as the club's fourth outfielder.
Sep 23 2020Taylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Tuesday in the Brewers' 3-2 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor's two-out blast in the fifth inning cut Milwaukee's deficit in half and represented the only offense the Brewers could muster against Reds starter Sonny Gray. After catching fire at the plate with four hits in the Brewers' Sept. 9 blowout win over the Tigers, Taylor had been struck in a 2-for-18 slump over his past 10 games before coming through with the clutch homer Tuesday.
Sep 9 2020Taylor went 4-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, three runs and three RBI during Wednesday's 19-0 win at Detroit. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old was called up by the Brewers at the start of September and had one hit through his first eight at-bats, but he busted out with the rest of the offense Wednesday. Taylor should operate in a reserve role during September if Christian Yelich, Avisail Garcia, Ryan Braun and Ben Gamel can remain healthy.
Sep 1 2020Taylor was recalled by the Brewers on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor appeared in 15 games for the Brewers last season, and he'll return to the active roster after Jedd Gyorko was placed on the bereavement list Tuesday. He impressed at the team's alternate training site this year but should serve in a depth role during his time in the big leagues.
Feb 17 2020Taylor (wrist) will not play in any Cactus League games this spring, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor underwent a surgical procedure on his left wrist in November, and it turns out the 26-year-old will miss the start of the 2020 season as a result. The tentative plan is for Taylor to resume baseball activities near the beginning of March before progressing to rehab games in April.
Jan 29 2020Updating a previous report, Taylor will be limited to begin spring training while he recovers from an offseason left wrist procedure, and he's uncertain to be ready for Opening Day, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor broke some news when he told reporters at the "Brewers On Deck" event over the weekend that he required the procedure during the winter, something the organization hadn't previously disclosed. While Taylor said he would be ready to go for the start of spring training, the Brewers are apparently planning to take a more cautious approach with the 25-year-old. Taylor is in contention for an reserve role with the big club, though Ben Gamel's ability to play all three spots in the outfield could prompt manager Craig Counsell to carry only four outfielders on the Opening Day roster.
Jan 27 2020Taylor said Sunday that he's fully healthy heading into spring training after undergoing a procedure to address a wrist injury earlier in the offseason, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor's offseason surgery previously went unreported, but the 26-year-old's comment that he'll be ready for the spring suggests the procedure wasn't a significant one. Though he saw limited use for the Brewers as a September callup last season, Taylor finds himself up a spot higher on the organizational outfield depth chart entering 2020 after Trent Grisham was dealt to San Diego in November.
Oct 1 2019Taylor has made the Brewers' Wild Card roster.
Oct 1 2019Taylor has made the Brewers' wild-card roster.
Oct 1 2019Taylor has made the Brewers' wild-card roster. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor made his big-league debut in early September and went 4-for-10 in limited action down the stretch. He'll likely be a bench option Tuesday against the Nationals.
Sep 7 2019Taylor was recalled from Triple-A San Antonio on Saturday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ryan Braun (back) and Lorenzo Cain (knee) are both hurting, so Taylor will come up to bolster the team's outfield depth. It will be Taylor's first stint in the majors. He missed some time with a wrist injury and his numbers at Triple-A represent a step back from his performance at that level in 2018.
