Taylor (hip) will start in center field and bat seventh in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor exited early in Monday's game against the Guardians due to left hip tightness, but his inclusion in the lineup a day later seemingly implies that his removal was precautionary. After inking a two-year, $9 million contract extension in September, Taylor is projected to head into Opening Day as the Royals' primary center fielder.
