Taylor (knee) is not in the lineup Friday against the Braves, James Wagner of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup after experiencing soreness in his right knee, and will now miss his third straight contest with the ailment. A return over the weekend remains possible, but in the meantime Bryce Harper will slide to center field, Jayson Werth to right field, and Clint Robinson will start in left Friday.
