Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Wednesday's loss to San Francisco that he expects Taylor (groin) to go on the injured list, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor hurt his groin while rounding first base on a double and exited with a trainer. Roberts later indicated that the team's level of concern is "sort of " high and that the utility man is likely to land on the injured list, though that won't be certain until he gets scans Thursday. Roberts also stated that if Taylor does need to go on the IL, James Outman would be recalled from the minors.

Taylor (groin) isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor tweaked his groin while rounding first base during Wednesday's contest, and his injury will officially keep him out of the starting nine for at least one game. Enrique Hernandez will pick up a start at third base Thursday, while Taylor is still considered day-to-day.

Taylor was removed from Wednesday's game against the Giants due to left groin tightness.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor appeared to suffer the injury while rounding first base after hitting a double in the seventh inning, and he didn't look comfortable while walking off the field with one of the Dodgers' trainers. Cavan Biggio entered the game as Taylor's replacement and may be in line to start should the 33-year-old need to miss any amount of time.

Taylor isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday versus the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor went 1-for-3 with a strikeout in Monday's win over the Giants and has gone 2-for-10 to begin the second half of the season. With Taylor's right-handed bat on the bench Tuesday, Cavan Biggio will start at third base and bat eighth.

Taylor is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus Boston, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor is hitting .136 in 44 at-bats during July and will sit Sunday after starting the previous seven games. Enrique Hernandez will take over at the hot corner and bat eighth in the series finale.

Taylor is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor started the previous seven games but will sit after going 4-for-22 with two homers, six walks and eight strikeouts during that span. Cavan Biggio will take over at the hot corner Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Taylor went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's loss to Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor accounted for Los Angeles' only two runs of the contest with his 403-foot blast in the sixth inning. The utility man has bounced back from an awful start to the campaign to slash .282/.404/.590 with three home runs, six RBI, 10 runs and two stolen bases over his past 15 games. Taylor has consequently started each of the Dodgers' past seven contests, and though he's hitting only .182 during that stretch, he has two long balls and a 6:8 BB:K.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Taylor will have more of a "runway" to play third base, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Third base has been a weakness for the Dodgers since Max Muncy landed on the injured list with an oblique injury May 17. The team made a trade in mid-June for Cavan Biggio, but he's struggled to a .188 batting average and 33.3 percent strikeout rate in 12 games with Los Angeles. Taylor had a disastrous start to the campaign -- he was hitting .095 with a 39.2 percent punchout rate over 36 contests through June 6 -- but has turned things around of late, slashing .385/.448/.731 with four extra-base hits (including two homers), four RBI, seven runs and two thefts over his past 11 games. He started at third base Sunday against San Francisco and collected a home run, a double and two RBI, and Roberts has indicated that Taylor will start at the hot corner again in the team's next game (Tuesday versus Arizona), per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports. If Taylor keeps his momentum going, he could keep the primary third base job until Muncy returns to action, which likely won't happen until after the All-Star break. Biggio and Enrique Hernandez are the other options to log time at the hot corner for the time being.

Taylor went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor put the Dodgers on the board with a solo shot in the fifth inning and later added an RBI double in the seventh. It was his second long ball of the year, and both have come in his last nine games. Taylor didn't have a multi-hit performance through 41 games to start the year but now has two in his last six contests. He's slashing .164/.256/.255 with five extra-base hits and 12 RBI through 126 plate appearances.

Taylor went 2-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a brutal season for Taylor, as evidenced by the fact that this was his first multi-hit game. The utility man capitalized on reaching base three times by swiping two bags after entering Thursday with just one steal this season. Taylor is still slashing a putrid .131/.230/.192 on the campaign, but he's at least shown some signs of life of late, going 5-for-15 over his past six contests.
