Taylor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-1 win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old contributed the biggest hit in a four-run opening frame for the Dodgers, which saw them rack up five of their eight baserunners for the game. Taylor has hit a bit of a skid lately -- even with the homer Monday, he's gone just 3-for-34 in his last 10 games. The utility man has a .264/.353/.461 slash line with 20 long balls, 71 RBI, 87 runs scored and 13 stolen bases through 536 plate appearances.

Taylor is not starting Tuesday against Atlanta, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor went 1-for-14 with a solo homer while starting each of the previous four games. He'll take a seat Tuesday with the Dodgers back at full health, but his defensive versatility should have him back in the starting nine before too long.

Taylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and three strikeouts in a 5-2 win against the Rockies on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor knotted the score at 2-2 with his fourth-inning long ball off Colorado reliever Tyler Kinley but was unsuccessful in his other three at-bats. The homer was Taylor's second of August as he's regressed to a .247/.326/.388 slash line in 85 at-bats this month.

Taylor is not starting in Thursday's lineup against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers are resting a few regulars, likely due to the 16-inning contest that ensued Wednesday night. However, the return of Mookie Betts (hip) also crowds the outfield for the Dodgers. Both Taylor's versatility and his .278/.369/.476 line for the season likely mean he will maintain regular playing time, though he could see more days off down the stretch.

Taylor went 1-for-6 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor did all his damage during the extra frames. He began the 15th as the designated runner and ended up stealing third before coming around to score off a base hit from Billy McKinney. The 30-year-old would then log his only hit of the night the following inning but would be left stranded on second base. Taylor has reached safely in each of his last 11 games and is currently slashing .278/.369/.476 with 18 homers, 66 RBI, 85 runs scored, 13 steals and 55:137 BB:K over 499 plate appearances.

Taylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a bases-loaded walk in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The utility man started Saturday's contest in right field. Taylor delivered his 18th homer of the year in the fourth inning and added a walk to force in a run in the sixth. The 30-year-old has hit safely in each of his last three games, going 3-for-8 with two walks, three RBI and two runs scored in that span. He's up to a .280/.370/.481 slash line with 66 RBI, 83 runs scored and 11 stolen bases in 484 plate appearances.

Taylor went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Getting the start at third base, Taylor racked up his sixth multi-hit performance in the last 12 games. The 30-year-old utility player is slashing .308/.357/.481 over that stretch, and with Mookie Betts (hip) out and Justin Turner (groin) not 100 percent, Taylor should remain a consistent presence in the Dodgers' starting nine.

Taylor went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor stole second base in the fifth inning after singling. In addition, he scored after hitting another single in the seventh inning on Cody Bellinger's home run. The 30-year-old is going to lose playing time to Trea Turner, but he is making the case for himself, batting .353 over his past eight games. On the season, he is slashing .286/.377/.496 with 17 home runs and 62 RBI. Also, he leads the team with 80 runs and 11 steals.
