Taylor is not in Monday's lineup against the Giants, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mookie Betts is getting the start at second base for the second time in three games while Trayce Thompson is in the lineup against a righty, so perhaps Taylor could be more of a part-time player going forward. Taylor is hitting .171/.289/.303 with two home runs and three steals in 23 games since returning from injury Aug. 5.

Taylor is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets, according to Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor went hitless and stuck out three times in Monday's game, so manager Dave Roberts decided to hold him out a day later. Trayce Thompson will enter the lineup in Taylor's place.

Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Along with Cody Bellinger and Will Smith, Taylor will step out of the starting nine and get a breather while the Dodgers and Marlins get together for a day game after a night game. Taylor, who went 4-for-19 with a double, a walk, three runs, an RBI and a stolen base while starting each of the past five games, will cede his usual spot in left field to Joey Gallo.

Taylor went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor was 0-for-10 with eight strikeouts across his last three games before snapping the slump Tuesday. The multi-hit effort was his first since June 26, though he missed a month with a foot injury in that stretch. The versatile 31-year-old also swiped a bag for the first time since Aug. 5. Despite his struggles at the plate, he's maintained steady playing time recently. He's slashing .230/.313/.400 with eight home runs, eight steals, 31 RBI and 36 runs scored through 88 contests overall.

Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor will take a seat for the second straight day after he's had a rough go at the plate since coming off the 10-day injured list Aug. 5. In his first 12 games since being activated, Taylor has slashed .171/.261/.366 with a 41.3 percent strikeout rate. Though Taylor remains the Dodgers' nominal starter in left field, he'll likely cede work to Joey Gallo and Trayce Thompson until he begins to heat up at the plate.

Taylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in an 8-5 win against the Twins on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor swatted a solo shot to left field in the sixth inning for his first first long ball since early June. The utility man has spent substantial time on the injured list over that stretch, but it was still a 28-game span without going deep. Taylor slugged 20 homers and knocked in a career-high 73 runs last season, but with just seven long balls and 30 RBI so far this season, he'll be very hard-pressed to reach those numbers by the end of the campaign.

Taylor went 1-for-4 with a double, a run, two RBI and a stolen base in an 8-1 win against the Padres on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Playing in his first game since July 4 due to a foot injury, Taylor doubled home two runs in the third inning and stole third before scoring. The 31-year-old started at second base and is now slashing .238/.318/.410 with six home runs, 33 runs, 29 RBI and seven stolen bases across 75 games.
