Taylor went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in a 9-1 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor hadn't started for the Dodgers since Saturday as he nursed a wrist injury, but he looked none the worse for wear in his return to the starting nine Tuesday. The utilityman got his first start of the season at third base and slugged a two-run homer in the fifth inning to give Los Angeles a two-run lead that they did not relinquish. Taylor has been one of the most consistent hitters for the team this season, slashing .295/.430/.508 with five home runs, five stolen bases and 18 RBI.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Taylor (wrist) will start at third base in Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor had been limited to a bench role the past two games due to a sore right wrist, but he looks like he'll avoid becoming the latest player to join the ever-expanding Los Angeles injured list. Due in part to Cody Bellinger (lower leg), Corey Seager (hand) and AJ Pollock (hamstring) all missing time because of injuries, Taylor has often benefited from favorable positioning in the batting order, which has helped him pile up counting stats. He enters play Tuesday tied for fourth in the majors in runs scored (32), while his five stolen bases place him in the top 25.
