Taylor was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to right knee soreness, the team has announced.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup after the soreness in his right knee resurfaced. It's worth noting that Taylor missed a pair of games over the weekend after he crashed into an outfield wall Thursday, causing a right knee contusion. This will definitely be a development to keep a close eye on because lingering knee issues could hinder Taylor's production in the short term, even when he gets back on the field. The Nationals will roll out a lineup combination of Jayson Werth, Bryce Harper, and Danny Espinosa for Wednesday's game.
