Nationals manager Dusty Baker said after Sunday's game that Taylor would start in center field against left-handed pitching, The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

That makes Taylor a fairly strong play this week, as the Nats face three consecutive left-handed Dodgers (Clayton Kershaw, Scott Kazmir and Julio Urias) beginning Monday. Whether he stays on the short side of a platoon or takes more time away from Ben Revere going forward will depend largely on how Taylor produces, as he struggled earlier in the season while Revere was hurt.
