Taylor will start in left field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Nationals, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor will pick up his second start of the season, filling in left field for the left-handed-hitting Michael Conforto, who will head to the bench while the Nationals send southpaw MacKenzie Gore to the hill. Though he has the ability to play multiple spots in the infield and outfield, Taylor doesn't look as though he'll be assured a regular short-side platoon role; he didn't start in the Dodgers' previous two matchups with left-handers.

Taylor will start at second base and bat ninth for Game 6 of the NLCS against the Mets, Noah Camras of DodgersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Freddie Freeman (ankle) out of Sunday's lineup, Taylor will start at second base while Max Muncy and Enrique Hernandez man first and third base, respectively. Taylor started in Game 4 of the NLCS, during which he went 1-for-4 with one walk and one run scored.

Taylor went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor started all three games at Colorado this weekend while the Dodgers rested some regulars. He went 6-for-10 with two steals over those contests, a rare productive stretch in a season that saw the utility man more frequently confined to a bench role. Overall, he slashed .202/.298/.300 with four homers, 23 RBI, 28 runs scored and five steals across 246 plate appearances, which was his lightest workload in a full-length season since 2016.

Taylor went 3-for-3 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor didn't enter the game until the bottom of the fifth inning but wasted no time in making his presence felt, reaching on an infield single in his first at-bat before going on to steal second. He added two more singles while also driving in and scoring a run for the second straight game. Taylor has posted multiple hits in back-to-back contests and is now batting .325 (13-for-40) in September with six RBI and eight runs scored. The stolen base was his fifth on the season, and he's also swiped a bag in two straight.

Taylor will start in left field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor will enter the lineup for just the seventh time since he was activated from the 10-day injured list Aug. 22. The 34-year-old will likely continue to see limited opportunities over the final week and a half of the season while the Dodgers' playoff positioning is not yet locked in.

The Dodgers reinstated Taylor (groin) from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

A left groin strain kept Taylor on the IL since late July, but he's now been cleared to return to the active roster after playing in five minor-league rehab games. The 33-year-old owns just a .542 OPS across 189 plate appearances this season and will likely take on a utility role now that he's healthy. Jason Heyward was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Taylor (groin) is nearing a return to the major-league roster, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor started a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, going 4-for-11 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs scored over three games to this point. The 33-year-old is working his way back from a left groin strain that landed him on the 10-day injured list July 25, but he could be active "within the week" according to manager Dave Roberts.

Taylor (groin) kicked off a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, going 1-for-4 with an RBI double.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor went on the injured list July 25 due to a left groin strain, and he's well past the minimum IL stay. It's not clear how long the utility man's rehab assignment will last, and he may not receive consistent playing time upon his return to the Dodgers. Since Taylor landed on the IL, Mookie Betts has returned from a hand injury, Gavin Lux has nailed down an everyday role at second base and Kevin Kiermaier has joined the team via trade. Both Tommy Edman (wrist/ankle) and Max Muncy (oblique) are also currently in the midst of rehab stints and could be activated ahead of Taylor.

Taylor (groin) took batting practice Saturday and is expected to report to the Dodgers' spring training facility in Arizona this week to get in more live at-bats before heading out on a rehab assignment, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Of the four Dodgers hitters currently on the injured list, Taylor looks to be the furthest away from returning. Mookie Betts (hand) is on track to be activated Monday, and Max Muncy (oblique) and Tommy Edman (wrist) are in the midst of rehab assignments and could be activated as soon as Aug. 19. Taylor shouldn't be too far behind Muncy and Edman if he begins a rehab assignment by next weekend, but playing time could be hard to come by for the 33-year-old utility man once he eventually makes his way back to the big club. Taylor had started at second base, third base or in left field in nine of the Dodgers' last 11 games before he landed on the injured list July 25 with a left groin strain, but Gavin Lux, Muncy and Teoscar Hernandez should all be locked in as starters at those respective positions by the time Taylor is activated.

The Dodgers placed Taylor on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left groin strain, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor exited Wednesday's contest with left groin tightness after legging out a double in the seventh inning, and an MRI revealed a strain that will officially keep him sidelined for at least 10 days. Enrique Hernandez is set to start at third base for Thursday's series finale against the Giants and may continue to do so while Taylor is out. Meanwhile, James Outman will come up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill the open roster spot.
