Taylor went 3-for-6 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run and RBI in Thursday's 14-1 triumph over Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor recorded his first three-hit game with an RBI double and run in the second inning, single in the fifth and two-run shot in the eighth. The successful outing continued a torrid stretch for the 31-year-old, who's now 7-for-18 with two home runs, two doubles and a triple over his last four games. After striking out 14 times in a six-game stretch earlier in May, Taylor has limited the whiffs to three across the torrid streak.

Taylor went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 9-4 win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor scored on a Mookie Betts homer in the second inning, and he slugged his own two-run shot in the following frame. This was Taylor's second consecutive contest with an extra-base hit following a six-game stretch during which he went 2-for-19 with only a pair of singles. He's slashing .246/.331/.425 with four homers, 18 RBI, 20 runs and three stolen bases on the season.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run and a double in Monday's 5-4 victory versus Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor connected for a two-run shot to right field in the sixth inning, and that proved to be the difference as Los Angeles navigated a narrow win. The utilityman recently endured a four-game, 0-for-14 stretch that included 10 strikeouts, but he has bounced back by reaching base safely 10 times over his subsequent five contests. Taylor has gone 6-for-17 with two doubles, two homers, four walks and four RBI over the five-game stretch.

Taylor went 0-for-1 with two walks, a run and a stolen base in a 5-4 win over the Phillies on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Though he didn't collect a hit in the contest, Taylor reached base three times on two free passes and a hit-by-pitch. His ninth-inning walk was particularly critical, as it resulted in Taylor scoring the game-winning run on a Gavin Lux double. Taylor has drawn two walks in two straight games and has reached base in half of his past 18 plate appearances.

Taylor went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and three total runs in a loss to Philadelphia on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor accounted for the Dodgers' first run of the game with a solo shot to left field in the third inning, and he scored two additional runs in the back-and-forth affair. The long ball was just the second of the season for the utilityman, who swatted 20 homers last season. Taylor recently endured a 1-for-20 stretch, but he has picked things up by collecting back-to-back multi-hit games.

Taylor went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored Wednesday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor returned after a one-game absence caused by a knee injury to play right field and hit seventh. He reached base on a walk in the seventh inning and came around to score on an Edwin Rios double. Though it's positive Taylor was able to return after a brief absence, he now has one hit across his last 20 at-bats.

Taylor (knee) is starting Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor missed Tuesday's game due to a bone bruise in his left knee, but he'll start in right field and bat seventh during Wednesday's series finale. He's gone just 1-for-17 with two runs, two RBI and 12 strikeouts over his last five games.

The bone bruise in Taylor's left knee has improved, and the utilityman was able to participate in warmups and take batting practice Tuesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor left Monday's game against the Pirates after fouling a ball off his left knee and was subsequently diagnosed with a bone bruise. The Dodgers have indicated that the 31-year-old is day-to-day and may not need a trip to the injured list, and that appears to be a viable scenario given his quick improvement. Taylor had been struggling before the injury, going just 1-for-17 with 12 strikeouts over his previous five games.
