Taylor went 3-for-5 with three doubles, three RBI, and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-3 win versus the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder drew the start with left-handed Jeffrey Springs on the mound and made the most of it. Taylor notched the first three-double game in his 12-year career, hitting two off Springs and one off reliever Noah Murdock. The 34-year-old is currently in a short-side platoon role and has slashed .196/.237/.357 across 59 plate appearances.

Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Since Andrew Benintendi returned from the 10-day injured list last Thursday, Taylor has faded into more of a part-time role in the Chicago outfield. He'll be on the bench Wednesday for the third time in the last four games.

Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor will take a seat after he had drawn starts in the outfield in each of the last six games, with five coming in left field. Brooks Baldwin will man left field Wednesday, but Taylor could settle in as the primary option at the position while Andrew Benintendi (adductor) is on the injured list.

Taylor will start in left field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old will pick up a fifth straight start Sunday and looks like he'll be in line for a near-everyday role in the outfield while both Andrew Benintendi (adductor) and Mike Tauchman (hamstring) are on the shelf. Taylor heads into the series finale with a .222/.276/.370 slash line, one home run and two stolen bases over 29 plate appearances.

Taylor went 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and three runs scored in Friday's 11-1 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor's playing time could be in line for a boost after Mike Tauchman (hamstring) landed on the injured list Thursday. Taylor started in center field Thursday and moved to left for Friday's game with Luis Robert coming back into the lineup after a day off. Taylor's glove is good enough to keep him in the lineup, and he'll add a bit of speed when he plays as well. He's already got two steals over 10 contests this season while batting .250 (6-for-24) with a home run, two RBI and six runs scored across 26 plate appearances.

Taylor went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 9-0 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor logged his first homer of the season Monday when he took Chris Paddack deep to center field for a two-run shot. It was Taylor's second start in four games in left field, and he is expected to serve in a reserve role in the outfield this season, though his starting opportunities will dwindle once Mike Tauchman (hamstring) returns from the 10-day injured list.

Taylor isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor went 1-for-3 with a run scored in a win over Los Angeles on Thursday but will take a seat Saturday against right-hander Jose Soriano. Luis Robert will fill the vacancy in center field while Nick Maton serves as Chicago's designated hitter, batting fifth.

Taylor (elbow) is starting in left field and batting eighth in Friday's Cactus League game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder was sidelined nearly a week due to right elbow inflammation but is ready to retake the field for Friday's spring contest. Luis Robert is locked in as the White Sox's primary center fielder, but Taylor should still see semi-regular starts when Robert gets a breather, even as the DH or with a full day off, thanks to his elite defense.

Manager Will Venable said Sunday that Taylor (elbow) is expected to return to Cactus League play before the end of this week, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor had to be scratched from Saturday's lineup due to right elbow inflammation and it sounds like he'll need a couple more days of rest before getting back into games. The 33-year-old projects to be a reserve outfielder for the White Sox this season, although Andrew Benintendi's (hand) impending injured list stint could lead to increased reps for Taylor early on.

Taylor was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's Cactus League game versus Seattle due to right elbow inflammation, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Taylor's injury isn't immediately clear, though the White Sox will likely offer more information on his condition at some point. In the meantime, Wilfred Veras will step in to play right field while batting ninth.
