Taylor went 0-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 8-1 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor is batting just .119 (5-for-42) in July, but it has yet to cost him his share of playing time in center field. He's still managed to pick up a pair of steals over 16 games this month, giving him 11 thefts on 12 attempts this season. The veteran outfielder is slashing a career-low .206/.261/.302 with two home runs, 18 RBI, 27 runs scored, 13 doubles and three triples across 286 plate appearances.

Taylor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The right-handed-hitting Taylor had started in five of the Mets' last six games while the team faced left-handed starters in all but two of those contests, but he'll be left on the bench Monday, even though the Angels are sending southpaw Tyler Anderson to the hill. Taylor should still find himself in the lineup against lefties more often than not, but his opportunities to play against right-handed pitching appear to have tailed off while Jeff McNeil has gotten more exposure to center field lately.

Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor made five consecutive starts to close out the past week, but he'll be on the bench Wednesday for the second day in a row. With Jesse Winker returning from the injured list Tuesday and expected to clog up the designated-hitter spot moving forward, the Mets appear likely to use McNeil as their primary option in center against right-handed pitching, which will relegate Taylor to more of a fourth-outfielder role.

Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Though he's the best defensive center fielder on the Mets' roster, Taylor has faded into a part-time role due to his weak bat, as he's slashing .167/.219/.258 in June. He'll hit the bench for the fourth time in six games while Jeff McNeil gets the nod in center field.

EDGE Analysis
For the second straight game and third time over the last five contests, the Mets will go with Jeff McNeil in center field over Taylor, while Ronny Mauricio handles second base. Taylor is slashing only .190/.250/.293 in 20 June games.

Taylor went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Tuesday's loss against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor provided most of the Mets' offense Tuesday with a two-run double in the second inning and a solo shot in the fifth. He'd been stuck in an ugly 9-for-53 (.170) skid since his last multi-hit performance May 23. He went deep for the second time this year and first since April 30. Taylor is slashing .236/.300/.351 with 15 extra-base hits and 19 runs scored through 65 games.

Taylor went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder is up to eight steals on the season in nine attempts, and half of those successful pilfers have come in his last 12 games. Taylor isn't offering much else as a fantasy asset, however -- over that stretch he's batting just .226 (7-for-31) with zero homers, zero runs and three RBI while consistently hitting near the bottom of the Mets' order. Due to his defense, he'll continue seeing the bulk of the starts in center field until Jose Siri (lower leg) gets healthy, but upgrading the position figures to be one of the front office's top priorities as the trade deadline approaches.
