Taylor was optioned to Double-A Harrisburg on Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor went 3-for-20 while starting only four games in June, so it's no surprise to see him headed to Triple-A. The 28-year-old has a .211/.277/.276 slash line in 85 plate appearances this season. Gerardo Parra will continue to serve as the Nationals' fourth outfielder.
