Taylor will sit Thursday against the Astros, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor has been the Royals' clear primary center fielder this season, but that's as much due to a lack of alternatives as anything else, as his .242/.300/.359 slash line is far from impressive. Jarrod Dyson, who's hit an even worse .212/.244/.310, will get the nod in his absence.
