Taylor agreed to a minor-league deal with the Tigers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old was released by the Cubs in May and didn't play in 2020 with the cancelation of the minor-league season, but he'll receive another chance with the Tigers. Taylor worked at Triple-A in 2019 and had a 5.63 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 70:26 K:BB over 56 innings.

The Cubs released Taylor on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor was attending spring training with Chicago as a non-roster invitee, but the right-hander apparently wasn't in serious contention for a spot in the Opening Day bullpen. He spent the entire 2019 season with the Diamondbacks' Triple-A affiliate at Reno, producing a 5.63 ERA and 1.64 WHIP over 46 appearances.

Taylor was reassigned to minor-league camp Thursday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor spent 2019 with Triple-A Reno in the Diamondbacks' organization, where he posted a 5.63 ERA across 56 innings. He'll likely spend the 2020 season with Triple-A Iowa and serve as organizational depth.

Taylor signed with the Cubs as a non-roster invitee Wednesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor has 23.1 innings of big-league experience to his name, though none of those innings came in 2019. He owns a 5.40 ERA in his limited big-league sample, pairing a 24.8 percent strikeout rate with a 9.5 percent walk rate. He posted an unimpressive 5.63 ERA in 56.0 innings for Triple-A Reno in the Diamondbacks' system last season.

Taylor agreed to a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on April 11, Kegan Lowe of Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Indians designated Taylor for assignment at the conclusion of spring training and ultimately granted him a release from the organization after he unclaimed on the waiver wire. The 26-year-old has yet to make his 2019 debut, but he'll presumably report to Triple-A Reno once the Diamondbacks determine he's ready to go.

Taylor cleared waivers Thursday and is now a free agent.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor was designated for assignment last week and won't be making his way to Triple-A Columbus. The 26-year-old had a 2.51 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 70:9 K:BB over 57.1 innings at Triple-A last season.

The Indians designated Taylor for assignment Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor's removal from the roster clears a spot for Hanley Ramirez, who is expected to serve as the Tribe's primary designated hitter to begin the season. The 26-year-old Taylor will likely open the season at Triple-A Columbus if he goes unclaimed off waivers.

Taylor was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor got to open the spring in big-league camp but never appeared likely to make the Opening Day roster. The 26-year-old has thrown 23.1 major-league innings over the last two seasons, struggling to a 5.40 ERA.

Taylor was sent down to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor made three appearances out of the bullpen after being called up May 26. He allowed three runs on four hits with three strikeouts over 2.2 innings. Shane Bieber has been promoted to the big leagues in a corresponding move.

Taylor was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor will take the roster spot of Oliver Drake, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding roster move. The 25-year-old Taylor owns a respectable 3.63 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 22:2 K:BB across 17.1 innings with the Clippers this season. He also owns a 2.70 ERA in 3.1 big-league innings this season. Taylor will likely pitch middle innings during his time with the big club.
