Taylor (knee) told reporters before the game versus the Angels that he received a cortisone shot and a PRP injection, and he could be available off the bench for Tuesday's affair, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dodgers manger Dave Roberts is hopeful that Taylor will be able to return to the lineup as a starter by the weekend, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Taylor has not been able to return to the lineup since leaving Friday's game against the Giants with his knee contusion. The versatile utility player is out of the lineup again for Tuesday's bout against the Halos, but his availability off the bench suggests he's not far from returning to the lineup barring a setback.

EDGE Analysis
Taylor will miss a third straight game as he continues to nurse a bruised right knee, but he was spotted getting reps on the field before the game according to Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com, so he's likely nearing a return in the near future. Lefty bat Michael Busch will draw another start at third base and bat ninth Tuesday against southpaw Reid Detmers and the Angels.

Taylor went 1-for-4 with a grand slam home run, a walk and two total runs in Thursday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers were shut out for five frames before Taylor turned the tide of the game with a grand slam off Reynaldo Lopez in the sixth. The long ball was the 100th of his career and his fifth grand slam as a big-leaguer, per Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times. Taylor has struggled this year with a .209/.274/.460 slash line and 35.2 percent strikeout rate, but he's already hit more home runs (11) in 2023 than he did all of last year, and he's three thefts away from his third straight campaign of double-digit homers and steals.
