Taylor (neck) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old was scratched from the lineup Saturday with neck stiffness and will sit out Sunday for a second consecutive contest. According to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, manager Dave Roberts said Taylor's neck is "not great," though the utility man is still considered day-to-day. Trayce Thompson will receive another start in left field for Los Angeles.

Taylor was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies due to neck tightness, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor's initial diagnosis doesn't seem particularly serious, but the Dodgers will be cautious given that they've already secured home-field advantage throughout the postseason. Cody Bellinger was added to the lineup in his place, starting in center field and pushing Trayce Thompson to left.

Taylor went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-1 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor scored in the second and fourth innings. He also capped off the Dodgers' eight-run rally in the fourth with a two-run single. He'd gone 12 games without a multi-hit effort, slumping to a .122 average (5-for-41) in that span. The versatile veteran is up to a .221/.304/.373 slash line after Friday's productive game, and he's added 10 home runs, 43 RBI, 45 runs scored and 10 stolen bases through 118 contests.

Taylor went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in a 5-2 win over Arizona on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor's fourth-inning, three-run shot was initially called a double, but upon review it was determined that the ball cleared the left-field fence. The homer was his 10th of the campaign and gave him his third big-league season with double-digit long balls and thefts. Despite reaching that milestone, Taylor has struggled overall with a .226/.309/.389 slash line through 417 plate appearances.

Taylor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 11-2 rout of San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor entered the contest without a homer over his past 18 games, but he ended that drought with a solo shot to center field in the fifth inning. The long ball extended his modest hitting streak to three games, and it could be a sign that he is on the verge of shaking a massive slump that has seen him slash .179/.275/.316 over 28 games since returning a month-long stay on the injured list Aug. 5. Taylor has had major issues making contact of late, registering a 36.7 percent strikeout rate during the aforementioned 28-game span.
