Taylor will start in center field and bat leadoff against the Mets on Monday, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports. This is the way manager Matt Williams' lineup was trending toward the end of spring action, with Taylor atop the order, followed by Yunel Escobar, Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman. Taylor struck out 15 times in 65 Grapefruit League at-bats but also hit at a .323 clip with five doubles, two triples and four home runs. He should hold down a regular spot in the lineup at least until Denard Span (abdomen) returns.
