Taylor went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an RBI double and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Mariners. He was also hit by two pitches.

EDGE Analysis

Jorge Soler (undisclosed) was pulled from the game early, so Taylor filled in as the right fielder. He made an impact right away with a second-inning homer and also plated the tying run one frame later. Should Soler miss any time, Taylor would be an option to fill in until Mike Trout is ready to play in right field. Taylor is slashing .220/.258/.356 with one homer, five RBI, 10 runs scored and a stolen base over 62 plate appearances between the Angels and the Dodgers this season.

Taylor is not in Saturday's lineup against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor had started three straight games at second base entering Saturday's matchup. However, he'll head to the bench with Kevin Newman entering the lineup while playing third base, shifting Luis Rengifo to second base.

Taylor went 2-for-3 with a double, one RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

This was Taylor's first multi-hit effort of the season. He has gone 4-for-21 with a walk and eight strikeouts over seven games since signing with the Angels after he was released by the Dodgers in mid-May. Taylor has contributed a steal, three RBI, eight runs scored and four doubles over 57 plate appearances this season. He'll likely continue to serve in a reserve role during his time with the Angels.

Taylor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor had picked up starts in each of his first three games upon signing with the Angels last Monday, but after going 1-for-9 in those contests, he appears to have faded into a reserve role. He'll be on the bench Monday for the third time in four games while the Angels run out a starting outfield of Taylor Ward, Jo Adell and Jorge Soler from left to right.

Taylor signed a contract with the Angels and will start in center field and bat eighth for Monday's game against the Yankees, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor's 10-season stint with the Dodgers came to an end earlier this month when he was released, but he won't have to travel far for his next stop. The 34-year-old utility player inked a deal with the Angels and figures to step into significant playing time right away for the 25-27 squad. Taylor's clearest path to action is in center field, where his primary competition will be Matthew Lugo, though the veteran's versatility could make him more of a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none type. Still, his lack of hitting production with the Dodgers -- he posted a .457 OPS with a 37.1 percent K rate this season -- makes him a risky fantasy option.

The Dodgers released Taylor on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Los Angeles will skip the DFA process and release the 34-year-old outright to free up roster space for the return of Tommy Edman (ankle) from the 10-day injured list. Taylor had been with the Dodgers since 2016 but couldn't find consistent playing time this season due to his ongoing struggles at the plate (.580 OPS since the start of the 2024 regular season).

The Dodgers are expected to designate Taylor for assignment Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor has been in the starting lineup just six times this season and is slashing .200/.200/.257 with a 37.1 percent strikeout rate in 35 plate appearances, so it's not a major surprise to see him dropped from the 40-man roster. The veteran utility man's remaining salary -- about $9 million for 2025 plus a $4 million buyout on his 2026 option -- will likely prevent him from drawing much interest on waivers. The move would open up a spot for Tommy Edman (ankle), who's nearing a return from the 10-day injured list.

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.
