The Mets and Taylor (abdomen, elbow) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor had been eligible for salary arbitration for the second time. The outfielder had hernia surgery and surgery to remove a loose body from his elbow earlier this offseason but is expected to be ready in time for Opening Day. He's tentatively penciled in as the Mets' fourth outfielder.

Taylor will be sidelined two months following hernia surgery on Oct. 30 and surgery Thursday to remove a loose body from his right elbow.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when Taylor suffered the injuries. While the rehab will interrupt his offseason workout routine, Taylor should be ready to go for the start of spring training. The 30-year-old tentatively appears in line to start in center field for the Mets next season, although that could certainly change based on offseason additions.

Taylor will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor will pick up his seventh start in eight games and may have settled into a regular spot in the lineup at the expense of J.D. Martinez, who is in the midst of an 0-for-30 stretch at the plate and will take a seat for the second day in a row. Dating back to the second week of September, Taylor is slashing .385/.484/.654 with one home run, one stolen base, six runs and three RBI over a stretch of 11 games.

Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor had started in center field over Harrison Bader in both of the Mets' last two matchups with right-handed pitchers, but Bader is manning center field for the second time in the series while New York faces off against a lefty (Cole Irvin). Manager Carlos Mendoza hasn't indicated that the two outfielders have moved into a platoon, though Bader's ongoing slump might have opened up more opportunities for Taylor in the short term. Bader has gone 3-for-28 over his last 12 games heading into Wednesday.

Taylor went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Monday's win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder slapped a bases-loaded double down the right-field line in the fifth inning, giving the Mets some insurance runs in a 6-0 victory. Taylor got a rare start in right field against right-hander Andre Pallante with Jesse Winker getting a breather and Jeff McNeil needed at second base, but he's mostly fallen into a short-side platoon role since Winker was acquired. Taylor's been productive of late when called on though, batting .306 (11-for-36) over his last 12 games with three doubles, a homer, a steal, five RBI and seven runs.

Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor had started in each of the Mets' last three games, but one of those starts came against a lefty, and another came while Harrison Bader was getting some rest coming off an ankle injury. With the Mets outfield at full strength, Taylor looks to be fourth in line for playing time behind Brandon Nimmo, Jesse Winker and Bader.
