Tyrone Taylor Injury News & Updates
Oct 3, 2023
Playing right field in Game 1
Taylor is starting in right field and batting ninth Tuesday in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Diamondbacks.
ANALYSIS
Garrett Mitchell is not on the Brewers' active roster for this best-of-three series versus Arizona, so Sal Frelick will cover center field as Taylor patrols right. Taylor missed some time down the stretch with a hamstring injury, but he ultimately registered a strong .912 OPS across his final 82 plate appearances dating back to the beginning of September.
Sep 28, 2023
Takes seat Thursday
Taylor is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Taylor went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in the Brewers' defeat of St. Louis on Wednesday and is slashing .300/.329/.586 in 73 plate appearances since the beginning of September, but Christian Yelich (back) and Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) now being healthy puts a question mark on his claim to playing time in the Milwaukee outfield. Sal Frelick will also ride the pine in Thursday's series finale against the Cardinals.
Sep 24, 2023
Returns to lineup
Taylor (hamstring) is starting in right field and batting ninth Sunday versus Miami.
ANALYSIS
Taylor missed three consecutive starts after tweaking his hamstring, but he was able to make a pinch hit appearance during Saturday's loss to the Marlins. Now fully recovered, Taylor will look to stay hot, slashing .305/.339/.610 with four homers and 12 RBI since the start of September.
Sep 23, 2023
Remains out Saturday
Taylor (hamstring) isn't starting Saturday against the Marlins.
ANALYSIS
Hamstring problems have kept Taylor out of the Brewers' lineup for each of their last two games, and the team will continue to play it safe as it looks to clinch a division title Saturday. Sal Frelick will shift to right field in Taylor's absence while Blake Perkins starts in center field and bats ninth.
Sep 22, 2023
Out with hamstring issue
Taylor is out of the lineup Friday at Miami due to a minor hamstring tweak, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This minor hamstring issue also helps to explain his absence from Thursday's series finale against the Cardinals. McCalvy believes the Brewers are simply "playing it safe" with Taylor, who has batted .310/.344/.621 with four homers, six doubles, 12 RBI, two steals and 14 runs scored in 17 games since the beginning of September.
Sep 22, 2023
Takes seat again Friday
Taylor remains out of the lineup Friday against the Marlins.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has enjoyed a productive September, but he got a breather during Thursday's series finale in St. Louis and will remain on the bench Friday in Miami as Christian Yelich (back) returns to left field. Blake Perkins is in center and Sal Frelick is in right for the visiting Brewers.
Sep 21, 2023
Takes seat Thursday
Taylor is out of the lineup Thursday against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has been getting a lot of action in the Brewers' outfield with Christian Yelich continuing to battle a back injury, but he'll grab a breather during Thursday's series finale at St. Louis. Mark Canha, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick are starting across the outfield as William Contreras takes a turn in the DH role.
Sep 20, 2023
Homers twice Wednesday
Taylor went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Taylor's had a down year in the power department -- he's up to nine homers and a .438 slugging percentage across 75 contests. He's hit four of his homers and added six of his 14 doubles this season in 17 September games. The outfielder is batting .233 with 30 RBI, 34 runs scored and nine stolen bases over 222 plate appearances. He continues to split time between right field and left field.
Sep 17, 2023
Belts seventh homer
Taylor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored against the Nationals in Saturday's 9-5 victory.
ANALYSIS
Taylor belted a solo shot to left field in the fourth inning to give the Brewers a 4-1 lead. The long ball extended his modest hitting streak to seven games, during which he's batting .429 (12-for-28) with three doubles, two homers, seven runs, seven RBI and a stolen base. Taylor's recent surge comes after an 11-game slump from the end of August to early September during which he went 3-for-30 with nine strikeouts.
Sep 15, 2023
Sitting Friday
Taylor isn't in the Brewers' lineup Friday against the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
Taylor will get a breather Friday as the Brewers welcome outfielders Christian Yelich (back) and Mark Canha (wrist) back into their lineup. Taylor has slashed .325/.341/.500 since the start of September, so he figures to remain a consistent piece of a relatively weak Brewers lineup going forward.
Sep 10, 2023
Homers, swipes bag
Taylor went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and a steal in Saturday's win over the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Taylor's leadoff homer in the top of the eighth gave the Brewers a 3-2 lead and kicked off a three-run inning for the team. He would then come around to score a second time in the ninth, this time on a William Contreras single after the outfielder singled and stole second. The home run was Taylor's first since Aug. 23 and he's now hit safely in four of his last five games. For the month he's batting .250 with three RBI and five runs scored.
Sep 9, 2023
Remains on bench
Taylor sits for the second straight game Saturday against the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Taylor was featuring nearly every day throughout the back half of August, but he now finds himself on the bench for the fourth time in the last eight games. Taylor is hitting .100 with a .315 OPS over his last 11 games, dropping his season slash line to .202/.242/.357. Mark Canha starts in right field Saturday.
Sep 8, 2023
Sitting amid struggles
Taylor is out of the lineup Friday against the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Christian Yelich, Sal Frelick and Mark Canha will start across the outfield for the visiting Brewers. Taylor went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Wednesday's series finale at Pittsburgh and is batting just .202/.242/.357 across 178 total plate appearances this year.
Sep 1, 2023
On bench again Friday
Taylor is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Taylor will remain on the bench for a second straight contest as the Brewers launch their three-game home series with Philadelphia. Mark Canha will slot in at right field while Rowdy Tellez takes over at designated hitter and bats sixth in the series opener.
Aug 30, 2023
Sitting out Wednesday
Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Taylor will cede his spot in the lineup to Rowdy Tellez, who is serving as the Brewers' designated hitter for the second time in the series while Mark Canha spells Taylor in right field. While starting in each of the past 11 games, Taylor has produced a .914 OPS, despite going hitless in 14 at-bats over the last five of those contests.
Aug 20, 2023
Playing time trending up
Taylor will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
Taylor will stick in the lineup for a fourth consecutive contest and for the seventh time in eight contests while he's produced a robust .923 OPS with two home runs and one walk against four strikeouts through 13 games in August. In light of his hot hitting, Taylor seems to have moved ahead of Mark Canha and Joey Wiemer for the third spot in Milwaukee's everyday outfield alongside Christian Yelich and Sal Frelick (hamstring).
Aug 7, 2023
Goes deep in win
Taylor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 12-1 win over the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has hit safely in five of his last six games, going 6-for-16 (.375) with three homers and six RBI in that span. He got the start in right field Monday with Sal Frelick covering for Joey Wiemer in center. Taylor remains limited to a part-time role, and he may be hard pressed to get out of it even with his recent success -- he's slashing just .188/.202/.337 over 104 plate appearances on the year.
Aug 3, 2023
Homers in loss
Taylor went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
Taylor put the Brewers on the board with a solo home run off Mackenzie Gore in the top of the second and was later replaced by Sal Frelick in the seventh. It was just the outfielder's third home run of the season, though two of those have come in his last four games. He's added four RBI over that stretch.
Jul 27, 2023
Homers in win
Taylor went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Cincinnati.
ANALYSIS
Taylor snapped a scoreless tie in the seventh inning Wednesday with a two-run homer off Ben Lively, powering the Brewers to a 3-0 win. The home run was just Taylor's second hit since returning from the IL on July 14 -- he's now just 2-for-13 (.154) in that span. Overall, the 29-year-old outfielder is slashing .159/.176/.261 with two homers, seven runs scored, six RBI and six steals across 91 plate appearances in a reserve role with the Brewers this season.
Jul 14, 2023
Returns from IL
The Brewers reinstated Taylor (elbow) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has been on the shelf with a sprained right elbow since the beginning of June, and he'll now return to the active roster to begin the Brewers' second half of the season. Taylor is slashing just .160/.179/.240 across 78 plate appearances so far this season.
Jun 29, 2023
Cleared for rehab games
Taylor (elbow) was cleared to begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Nashville, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has appeared in only 27 games this season for the Brewers due to lingering elbow troubles, but he appears to be over the hump now with his latest setback. The 29-year-old outfielder should be able to return to major-league action before the All-Star break if all goes well on the farm, though he's likely to require a fairly lengthy minor-league rehab stint.
Jun 10, 2023
Set for cortisone shot
Taylor has received multiple opinions on his right elbow and will receive a cortisone shot, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Elbow issues cost Taylor over a month to start the year, and just one month later, he was right back on the injured list with the same problem. The Brewers will hope the cortisone shot has the desired effect, but he's already tried a PRP injection during spring training which failed to permanently address the issue.
Jun 3, 2023
Back on IL with elbow sprain
Taylor was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to June 2, with a right elbow sprain.
ANALYSIS
This is an ominous development for Taylor, who missed the opening month of the 2023 campaign with the same diagnosis of a sprain in his right elbow. There's no timetable on this latest setback, but it will likely be more than just a 10-day absence. Blake Perkins is joining the Brewers as outfield depth ahead of Saturday's game in Cincinnati.
Jun 2, 2023
Elbow acting up again
Taylor is not in the lineup Friday due to renewed soreness in his right elbow, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor spent the first month of the season on the injured list with a sprained right elbow and it's now giving him trouble again. While the Brewers are saying he's available off the bench Friday, he will need to get checked out by the doctor to find out whether some more down time is required.
May 31, 2023
On bench Wednesday
Taylor is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays.
ANALYSIS
Christian Yelich, Joey Wiemer and Brian Anderson are starting across the outfield for the Brewers. Abraham Toro is at third base. Taylor has gone 0-for-10 with five strikeouts over his last three games and is slashing just .167/.187/.250 through 75 total plate appearances this season.
May 28, 2023
May regain regular role
Taylor will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Taylor is included in the starting nine for the third consecutive game, and he looks like he'll be the primary beneficiary from a playing-time standpoint of Willy Adames going on the 7-day injured list Saturday. With Adames out of the mix, Brice Turang has taken over as the Brewers' everyday shortstop, while Brian Anderson has moved back to the infield to open up a spot in the corner outfield for Taylor.
May 24, 2023
Remains out of lineup
Taylor is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Astros.
ANALYSIS
Taylor will remain on the bench for the second straight game and third time over the last four contests. Brian Anderson will draw another start in right field while Owen Miller takes over at the hot corner and bats fourth in the series finale with Houston.
May 23, 2023
On bench Tuesday
Taylor is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Astros.
ANALYSIS
Brian Anderson is playing right field and batting fifth, with Owen Miller covering third base and hitting sixth. Taylor holds a weak .179/.203/.268 slash line in 19 games (59 plate appearances) since missing the first month of the 2023 campaign due to a right elbow sprain.
May 21, 2023
Sitting Sunday
Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.
ANALYSIS
Taylor started the previous six contests but will head to the bench after going 2-for-20 with a double, two walks and a run during that stretch. He has yet to get going offensively since coming off the injured list with a .170/.196/.245 slash line in 17 games. Owen Miller is starting at third base Sunday, pushing Brian Anderson to right field.
May 13, 2023
Heads to bench
Taylor will sit Saturday against the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Taylor missed all of April while recovering from a sprained elbow but has been a lineup fixture since his return, sitting just twice in 11 games. Brian Anderson will move out to right field Saturday while Owen Miller starts at third base.
May 6, 2023
Not in Saturday's lineup
Taylor is not in Saturday's lineup against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Taylor heads to the bench after going 2-for-13 with one home run and one steal in four games since coming off the injured list. Brian Anderson will start in right field while Owen Miller starts at the hot corner.
May 5, 2023
Homers for first hit of 2023
Taylor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to Colorado on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Taylor smacked a 393-foot shot to left field in the fifth inning for his first hit of the campaign. The outfielder had been on the injured list until Tuesday, so he has just three games under his belt. He's gone 1-for-10 across the trio of contests.
May 2, 2023
Activated from injured list
Taylor (elbow) was activated Tuesday from the 10-day injured list, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor missed the opening month of the 2023 regular season while recovering from a right elbow sprain, but he's ready to rock now following a five-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville during which he posted an .828 OPS across 23 plate appearances. The 29-year-old should be something close to a regular presence in the Brewers' outfield moving forward and can offer useful power and speed production in deeper fantasy formats.
Apr 30, 2023
Should return this week
Taylor (elbow) could be activated from the 10-day injured list during the Brewers' upcoming road trip, which runs Tuesday through next Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old has played in three games on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville, and he may not need much more action in the minors before joining the big club. Taylor has been on the shelf for the first month of the season with a sprained elbow, but he should see regular playing time in right field once activated, especially with Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) facing an extended absence.
Apr 19, 2023
Nearing rehab assignment
Taylor (elbow) is on track to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has been playing in extended spring training games and is almost ready to test things out in real game action. He's been out since just before spring training with a right elbow sprain. With Joey Wiemer sliding over to center field to fill in for Garrett Mitchell (shoulder), the Brewers could use Taylor in right.
Apr 7, 2023
Shut down after small setback
Taylor (elbow) is currently shut down from throwing after suffering a small setback, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor was about halfway through that week-long shutdown period as of Friday and the hope is that he can resume a throwing program sometime next week. The 29-year-old outfielder suffered a right elbow sprain just before the start of spring training and continues to run into complications with his rehab. The new target for his 2023 debut might be late May.
Mar 29, 2023
Officially placed on IL
Taylor (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The move is retroactive to March 27, but Taylor is not expected to be ready to join the Brewers until May as he recovers from a right elbow sprain. He had just resumed on-field work as spring training came to an end.
Mar 29, 2023
Progressing ahead of schedule
Taylor (elbow) has progressed to doing on-field work, including hitting, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Brewers manager Craig Counsell indicated Wednesday that Taylor might even be a little ahead of his mid-May timetable at this point. The 29-year-old is projected to receive most of the playing time in right field for the Brewers once he makes it back from his elbow injury.
Mar 28, 2023
Aiming for mid-May
Taylor (elbow) said Monday that he's hoping to be ready to join the Brewers by mid-May, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor suffered a right elbow sprain just before reporting to camp in February and has not progressed as quickly as hoped, though he was recently cleared to begin a throwing program. The 29-year-old had been in line for regular starts in right field to open the 2023 campaign. Brian Anderson will probably now fill that role through for Milwaukee the first several weeks of the regular season.
Mar 1, 2023
Likely to miss first month
Brewers manager Craig Counsell announced that Taylor (elbow) returned to Milwaukee to receive a PRP injection in his right elbow and is likely to miss the first month of the season, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor is dealing with a right elbow sprain, and has not made quick progress in his recovery. The 29-year-old will begin the season on the injured list, and that could open up playing time for Brian Anderson in right along with non-roster invite Tyler Naquin. It's a big blow for the Brewers' depth, and also makes Taylor a player that fantasy managers should safely avoid in redraft leagues at this time.
Feb 28, 2023
Could miss start of season
Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that Taylor (elbow) is in jeopardy of missing the start of the regular season, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor was diagnosed with a right elbow sprain earlier this month and hasn't processed as quickly as hoped. He had been penciled in as the Opening Day right fielder for Milwaukee. Maybe that job now falls to Brian Anderson, who was acquired from the Marlins in January and was slated for more of a super-utility role to begin the 2023 campaign.
Feb 22, 2023
Out with elbow injury
Taylor is expected to miss two weeks after suffering a right elbow sprain, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor will be forced to miss the start of spring training while nursing the injury, but he should still be able to get plenty of reps before Opening Day on March 30. The outfielder has seen his role increase each season of his four-year career with the Brewers, starting 120 games last year while producing a .233 average, 17 home runs, 51 RBI, 49 runs and three stolen bases over 373 at-bats.
Sep 19, 2022
Absent from Monday's lineup
Taylor isn't starting Monday against the Mets.
ANALYSIS
Taylor will get a breather after he went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two runs during Sunday's series finale against the Yankees. Garrett Mitchell is starting in center field and batting ninth.
Sep 17, 2022
Sitting again Saturday
Taylor isn't starting Saturday against the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has split playing time in center field recently and will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. Garrett Mitchell is starting in center field and batting ninth.
Sep 16, 2022
On bench Friday
Taylor isn't starting Friday against the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Taylor started the last two games and went 1-for-6 with two runs, an RBI and two strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Garrett Mitchell starts in center field and bats ninth.
Sep 14, 2022
Taking back work in center field
Taylor will start in center field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
For the second time in the Brewers' last three matchups with right-handed starting pitchers, Taylor will be included in the lineup while Garrett Mitchell sits. Taylor looks to have reclaimed the primary center-field role away from Mitchell, who is hitting .138 with a 4:15 BB:K in 13 games since his late-August promotion from Triple-A Nashville.
Sep 10, 2022
Two-run shot in loss
Taylor went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Taylor was responsible for Milwaukee's only runs of the game, sending himself and Luis Urias home on a two-run shot in the third inning. It was his 16th homer of the year and his third this month. The outfielder is off to a much better month than his last one, slashing .278/.316/.833 in 18 at-bats. One issue that still persists for Taylor is his strikeouts. He has more strikeouts than hits and walks combined for this month, limiting his upside in batting average. Since beginning the month with a .219 batting average, he is up to just .224 despite going 5-for-18.
Sep 4, 2022
Carries Brewers with huge effort
Taylor went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double, a stolen base, three total runs and three total RBI in Saturdays' 8-6 win against Arizona.
ANALYSIS
Taylor came up big for Milwaukee in the win, giving the team a 4-3 lead with his solo homer in the sixth inning and providing the winning margin with a two-run, 428-foot shot in the top of the 10th. It was the first multi-homer game of the season for Taylor, who has posted career highs with 15 home runs and 44 RBI on the campaign. Taylor has been seeing his playing time dip of late after a rough August, so perhaps this performance will help him get back into the lineup more often.
Aug 30, 2022
Takes seat again
Taylor is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has made more starts in center field this season than any other Brewer, but he will give way to rookie Garrett Mitchell for a third day in a row. Taylor hit just .197 (15-for-76) over his last 28 games, so Mitchell could continue cutting into his playing time against right-handed starting pitchers.
Aug 29, 2022
Riding pine Monday
Taylor isn't starting Monday against the Pirates, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor will head to the bench for a second consecutive game while rookie Garrett Mitchell remains in center field and bats ninth. Over his last three games, Taylor has gone 2-for-9 with a homer, two runs and five strikeouts.
Aug 28, 2022
Gives way to rookie Sunday
Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Taylor will take a seat for the series finale while rookie Garrett Mitchell -- who was called up from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday -- picks up his first MLB start in the series finale. Though he's held down a regular spot in the Milwaukee outfield since Lorenzo Cain was released earlier this season, Taylor hasn't offered much to get excited about for fantasy purposes of late. Thus far in August, Taylor is hitting .200 with two home runs, no stolen bases, eight runs and five RBI over 22 games.
Aug 27, 2022
Hits 13th home run
Taylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Cubs on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Taylor set a career-high home run total with his 13th long ball of the 2022 campaign. He had previously hit 12 last season. It has been a cold month of August overall for Taylor. He is slashing .207/.258/.345 with two home runs over 58 at-bats this month.
Aug 23, 2022
On bench Tuesday
Taylor is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old is 2-for-15 with nine strikeouts over his past seven contests and will take a seat Tuesday in Los Angeles. Jonathan Davis will start in center field and bat ninth in Taylor's place.
Aug 20, 2022
Riding pine Saturday
Taylor is not in Saturday's lineup against the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Taylor is hitting .196/.245/.304 with one home run and zero steals in 15 games this month. Jonathan Davis will start in center field and hit ninth.
Aug 16, 2022
Takes seat Tuesday
Taylor is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Taylor doubled in Monday's contest, but he is also hitting just .217 (18-for-83) in 26 games since June 25, so manager Craig Counsell decided to hold him out for the second time in three days. Jonathan Davis will cover center field for the Brewers on Tuesday night.
Aug 14, 2022
Not part of Sunday's lineup
Taylor is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Taylor went just 5-for-25 (.200) over his last eight games, so manager Craig Counsell decided it was time for a mental break. Jonathan Davis will start in center field in Taylor's place.
Aug 6, 2022
Delivers three-run blast
Taylor went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 5-1 win over the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Taylor padded the Brewers' lead with his second-inning blast, which was his second homer in his last six games. In that span, he's gone a meager 4-for-19 (.211) with three walks. The outfielder has matched his career-high 12 homers from 93 games last season in just 75 contests this year. He's added a stolen base, 39 RBI, 29 runs scored, 13 doubles, two triples and a .228/.280/.437 slash line. Taylor continues to see a majority of the playing time in center field over Jonathan Davis.
Aug 4, 2022
Sitting out day game
Taylor is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
With the Brewers electing to give one of their big trade-deadline pickups, outfield prospect Esteury Ruiz, more time to develop at Triple-A Nashville, Taylor looks like he'll stick as Milwaukee's primary option in center field. Jonathan Davis will draw the start at the position Thursday, but that's likely a byproduct of manager Craig Counsell electing to extend Taylor some rest for the day game after a night game.
Jul 31, 2022
Hit homer, walks twice in win
Taylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Red Sox.
ANALYSIS
Taylor's ninth-inning solo blast off Hirokazu Sawamura was his second home run since the All-Star break and second extra-base hit of the series. He'll draw his fourth consecutive start in center field in the series finale, batting out of the No. 9 spot in the order.
Jul 24, 2022
Not starting Sunday
Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Taylor missed three weeks with a concussion but returned to action for Milwaukee on Friday, and he'll take a seat Sunday after going 2-for-9 with an RBI and three strikeouts in the past two games. Jonathan Davis will man center field and bat ninth.
Jul 22, 2022
Reinstated, starting Friday
Taylor (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list and is starting Friday against the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Taylor spent nearly three weeks on the injured list due to a concussion but recently appeared in two rehab games and went 3-for-8 with a run, a stolen base and a strikeout. He's starting in center field and batting ninth Friday.
Jul 15, 2022
Beginning rehab assignment
Taylor (concussion) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor landed on the 7-day concussion injured list July 3 and was initially expected to rejoin the Brewers this weekend, but he recently experienced a setback in his recovery. Given his recent setback, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Brewers exercise caution by holding Taylor out until after the All-Star break.
Jul 12, 2022
Experiences setback
Taylor experienced a setback in his recovery from a concussion, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor felt his concussion symptoms return after working out over the weekend, so his return will likely be pushed back at least a day or two. He may be sidelined until after the All-Star break, but he is set to hit Tuesday, and there is still a chance he could be activated before the first half comes to a close.
Jul 9, 2022
Likely out until Giants series
Taylor (concussion) appears likely to return during the Brewers' series against the Giants that begins July 14, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has been on the 7-day concussion injured list since Sunday, but he'll presumably need to spend more than the minimum amount of time on the shelf. The 28-year-old will work on ramping up his workload over the next few days before potentially returning to the active roster shortly before the All-Star break.
Jul 3, 2022
Out with concussion
The Brewers placed Taylor on the 7-day concussion injured list Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Catcher Pedro Severino (suspension) was reinstated from the restricted list and will replace Taylor on the 26-man active roster, but Taylor's move to the IL should free up more playing time in the outfield for both Jace Peterson and Jonathan Davis. The two players had previously been working in a platoon in the outfield while Hunter Renfroe (calf) has been on the IL. Since Taylor's stint on the IL is retroactive to Saturday, he'll be eligible for activation as soon as July 9.
Jul 2, 2022
On bench again Saturday
Taylor is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
Make it back-to-back absences from the lineup for Taylor; a pinch-hit single and a run scored off the bench Friday weren't enough to get him back in there. Taylor ended June with just a .205/.279/.462 line in his final 11 games of the month, though it's still surprising to see him sitting, as most expected Taylor to get a long look after Lorenzo Cain was designated for assignment. It's possible manager Craig Counsell just wants to keep Jonathan Davis fresh.
Jul 1, 2022
Sitting Friday
Taylor will sit Friday against the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
Taylor will get a day off after he went 1-for-4 from the plate in Thursday's series opener. Jonathan Davis will draw the start in center field and bat ninth against Pittsburgh.
Jun 25, 2022
Swats another homer
Taylor went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Blue Jays.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has five hits in his last five games, but three of those knocks have left the yard as the outfielder has rediscovered his power swing. He went deep in the seventh inning of Friday's contest, though it was too late to make an impact. Taylor is now slashing .231/.281/.441 with nine homers, 31 RBI, 21 runs scored, a stolen base, 12 doubles and a triple through 210 plate appearances.
Jun 24, 2022
Slugs three-run homer
Taylor went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 6-4 win against St. Louis.
ANALYSIS
Taylor struck out twice in the contest, but his lone hit was a big one -- the outfielder slugged a three-run shot in the fourth inning that accounted for half of Milwaukee's run output. Despite Thursday's big blast, it has been a tough June for Taylor, who is batting a meager .169 (11-for-65) with a 2:17 BB:K over 18 games this month.
Jun 21, 2022
Provides offense in win
Taylor went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 2-0 win over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Taylor took Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas deep in the fifth inning, and that homer was all the run support Corbin Burnes needed. In his last nine games, Taylor has gone 7-for-30 (.233), but he's hit safely in six of those contests. The 28-year-old is poised for a regular role in center field with Lorenzo Cain designated for assignment over the weekend. Taylor is slashing .227/.273/.420 with seven homers, 27 RBI, 17 runs scored, a stolen base, 12 doubles and a triple in 194 plate appearances. While his spot in the lineup is safe, he shouldn't be expected to hit above the bottom third of the order.
Jun 19, 2022
Solidified as outfield regular
Taylor will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Taylor was recently on the bench for consecutive games Wednesday and Thursday against the Mets, but the Brewers' decision to designate Lorenzo Cain for assignment means that Taylor should have an even clearer path to steady playing time in the outfield moving forward. The 28-year-old will stick in the lineup Sunday for the third straight contest, despite having posted an underwhelming .434 OPS thus far in June.
Jun 16, 2022
Sitting out second straight game
Taylor is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
ANALYSIS
Taylor was on the bench for Wednesday's 10-2 win while lefty David Peterson toed the rubber for the Mets, and the outfielder will remain on the bench again Thursday with righty Tylor Megill starting for New York. Though Taylor still appears to be manager Craig Counsell's preferred option in center field, the skipper may have wanted to reward Lorenzo Cain with another start after he went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run in Wednesday's victory.
Jun 15, 2022
Not starting Wednesday
Taylor isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Mets.
ANALYSIS
Taylor is out of the lineup for the second time in the last four games after he went 2-for-6 with a double, a run and a strikeout over the last two matchups. Lorenzo Cain will start in center field and bat eighth.
Jun 11, 2022
Takes seat Saturday
Taylor is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has gone just 3-of-32 (.094) at the plate since the start of June, so he will be held out for the second time in four days. Lorenzo Cain will start in center field in Taylor's place.
Jun 8, 2022
Gets Wednesday off
Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Though Taylor is on the bench Wednesday, he may have supplanted Lorenzo Cain as the Brewers' top center fielder by this point. Taylor was in the lineup for each of the last 17 games, and Cain was excluded from the starting nine for the past two contests, when the Brewers faced one right-hander (Mike Clevinger) and one left-hander (Ranger Suarez). Taylor holds a 243-point edge in OPS over Cain this season, and despite the latter's more extensive track record at the big-league level, the discrepancy in the two players' performances may be too great for manager Craig Counsell to ignore.
May 30, 2022
Homers in both games of twin bill
Taylor went 2-for-7 with two home runs, three RBI, three runs scored and a walk in both games of Monday's doubleheader versus the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Taylor connected for a two-run blast in the first game, pulling the Brewers level at 4-4. He added a solo shot in the nightcap, which served as an insurance run in the 3-1 win. The outfielder has collected all five of his homers this year in his last 11 contests. For the season, the 28-year-old sports a .252/.301/.472 slash line with 22 RBI, 13 runs scored, a stolen base, seven doubles and a triple in 36 games.
May 25, 2022
Delivers decisive homer
Taylor went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Padres.
ANALYSIS
Taylor's big blast to left field in the sixth inning broke a 1-1 tie and proved to be the difference-making hit as the Brewers snapped the Padres' five-game winning streak. With Hunter Renfroe heading to the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a low-grade hamstring strain that will likely keep him out for around two weeks, Taylor should have a clear path to a near-everyday role in the short term in either the outfield or at designated hitter.
May 24, 2022
Everyday role opens up
Taylor is starting in right field and batting cleanup Tuesday against San Diego.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old already started four of the past five games in center field over Lorenzo Cain, but he's now likely to operate as Milwaukee's primary right fielder after Hunter Renfroe (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Taylor got off to a slow start this season, but he's come alive of late and is 7-for-16 with two home runs, seven RBI and three runs over his past four appearances.
May 21, 2022
Tacks on another long ball
Taylor went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's victory over the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
Taylor picked up his second multi-hit game of the season Wednesday, and he followed that up by knocking in a season-high three runs in Friday's contest. While Taylor has not been hitting all that much, he has been playing regularly, starting each of the last six games the Brewers played.
May 11, 2022
Sits in series finale
Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Taylor went 4-for-16 with a walk, a run and two RBI across the last four games, but he'll bow out of the lineup for the series finale with Jace Peterson getting a look in left field. While Andrew McCutchen (illness) is on the COVID-19 injured list, Taylor looks like he'll continue to serve as his primary replacement in the outfield or at designated hitter.
May 9, 2022
Third straight start
Taylor will start in center field and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Taylor will remain in the starting nine for the third game in a row, with Andrew McCutchen's (illness) recent move to the COVID-19 injured list having opened up more playing time for him. In his two starts against Atlanta over the weekend, Taylor went a combined 2-for-7 with a walk and an RBI.
May 6, 2022
Tallies first homer in 2022
Taylor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's victory over the Reds.
ANALYSIS
The long ball was the first of the season for Taylor, who despite hitting just .204 does have seven extra-base hits in 52 PA. Taylor is working in a reserve role, but with fellow outfielder Andrew McCutchen serving primarily as the designated hitter, he has made 13 starts in the outfield through 26 games.
Apr 26, 2022
Filling in for resting Renfroe
Taylor will start in right field and bat sixth in Tuesday's game against the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
With Hunter Renfroe getting a maintenance day, Taylor will enter the starting nine for only the third time in eight games. Taylor has hit a double in each of his last three starts, but he has yet to leave the yard over his 30 plate appearances on the season.
Apr 18, 2022
Tallies two RBI
Taylor went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's victory over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Taylor went just 2-for-18 over his first six games of the season, but he matched the hit total in Sunday's game alone and also knocked in his first two runs of the season. Taylor does not occupy a starting spot on the Brewers' depth chart, but he has seen ample action early, starting six of the 10 games the Brewers have played to date.
Apr 3, 2022
Flashing power this spring
Taylor went 1-for-4 with a double in Saturday's spring game.
ANALYSIS
Taylor is flashing his power this spring, recording six extra-base hits -- three doubles and three homers -- to go along with eight RBI and a .920 slugging percentage and 1.349 OPS over 28 PA. Despite the hot spring, Taylor will open as a reserve in a crowded Brewers outfield. However, he still figures to see a fair share of starts in order to keep the regulars fresh.
Sep 29, 2021
Back on bench
Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Taylor started each of the Brewers' last three games, going 1-for-11. Manager Craig Counsell will likely look to find ways to get the righty-hitting Taylor's bat in the lineup versus southpaws, but he'll typically ride the bench when the Brewers oppose right-handers like the Cardinals' Miles Mikolas.
Sep 23, 2021
Swats grand slam, homer
Taylor went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a solo home run during Thursday's loss to the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Taylor accounted for all of Milwaukee's runs Thursday, delivering a grand slam in the first inning and a solo shot in the fourth, both against Adam Wainwright. The hits were his first since being activated from the injured list Tuesday following a month-long absence due to an oblique injury. Across 85 games this season, Taylor is batting .247/.322/.475 with 12 long balls.
Sep 21, 2021
Activated, starting
Taylor (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Taylor spent a month on the injured list but recently began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville. He went 6-for-13 with two doubles, three runs and two RBI across five rehab games and has now been cleared to rejoin the major-league club. The 27-year-old will serve mainly as outfield depth but is starting in center field and batting eighth in Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Sep 18, 2021
Remains on rehab assignment
Taylor (oblique) will remain on his rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville for the near future, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old began the rehab stint Sept. 10 and is 2-for-7 with a walk through three games as he returns from the oblique strain that landed him on the shelf in mid-August. Taylor appears to be nearing full health, if he's not already fully recovered, but he'll continue the rehab assignment in the minors as a way to get regular playing time as opposed to serving in a reserve role for the big-league club.
Sep 11, 2021
Begins rehab assignment
Taylor (oblique) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
ANALYSIS
He went 1-for 2 against Memphis in his first action since Aug. 20. Taylor could return to the majors sometime next week.
Sep 6, 2021
Nearing rehab assignment
Taylor (oblique) expects to begin a rehab assignment Thursday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has been sidelined since Aug. 21 due to a right oblique strain that carries a recovery timetable of 3-4 weeks. He ran the bases ahead of Monday's game against the Phillies and will likely be able to return to game action late in the week.
Aug 21, 2021
Likely out 3-4 weeks
Taylor (oblique) will likely be sidelined 3-4 weeks, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
More details about Taylor's recovery should come out in the next couple weeks, but he'll almost certainly be out until the middle of September, if not longer.
Aug 21, 2021
Moved to IL
The Brewers placed Taylor on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right oblique strain.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Taylor goes on the shelf after exiting Friday's game with the oblique injury. His absence will likely increase the playing time of Jackie Bradley and Jace Peterson, although both are merely backup options and don't figure to start more than a couple times a week. Eric Yardley was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.
Aug 20, 2021
Heading to injured list
Taylor (oblique) will be placed on the injured list Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor suffered a right oblique injury during his second at-bat Friday, and he'll undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of the issue. However, manager Craig Counsell revealed after the game that the outfielder will be forced to spend time on the injured list. Jackie Bradley and Jace Peterson will be available to fill Taylor's role as depth in the outfield.
Aug 20, 2021
Leaves game with oblique injury
Taylor exited Friday's game against the Nationals with right oblique tightness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor started in left field and led off in Friday's contest, and he went 0-for-2 with a strikeout to begin the game. However, he was replaced defensively in the top of the fifth inning. The 27-year-old has shifted to a reserve role recently, but it's not yet clear whether the injury will limit his availability in the coming days.
Aug 15, 2021
Fades into reserve role
Taylor remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
The recent returns of Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich from the injured list have resulted in Taylor losing hold of an everyday role in the Milwaukee lineup after the 27-year-old had previously started 10 straight games between July 27 and Aug. 7. In the eight games since, Taylor has picked up only two starts. He at least made an impact when he was in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader versus Pittsburgh, going 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Milwaukee's 14-4 loss.
Aug 14, 2021
Socks 10th homer
Taylor went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in a 14-4 loss to the Pirates during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.
ANALYSIS
He took Bryse Wilson deep in the top of the fourth inning, tying the game at 4-4, but it was all downhill from there for Milwaukee. Taylor hadn't gone yard since July 24, snapping a 15-game homer drought during which he'd slashed .231/.286/.365, and on the season the 27-year-old is batting .249 with 10 homers and 37 RBI through 80 contests.
Aug 8, 2021
Sitting after 10 straight starts
Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Taylor's move to the bench ends a streak of 10 consecutive starts, during which he slashed .211/.286/.342 with four extra-base hits (three doubles, one triple) across 38 at-bats. He appears to have moved ahead of Jackie Bradley in Milwaukee's outfield pecking order, but Taylor may find himself on the bench more regularity now that Christian Yelich has returned from the COVID-19 injured list. Expect Yelich, Lorenzo Cain and Avisail Garcia to form Milwaukee's outfield more often than not.
Aug 1, 2021
Notches fifth straight start
Taylor will start in left field and lead off Sunday against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
With Kolten Wong getting a breather, Taylor will get a look in the table-setting role in what marks his fifth straight start. The recent return of Lorenzo Cain from the injured list appears to have hurt Taylor less than the struggling Jackie Bradley, who has sat out three of the past four games. Christian Yelich's eventual return from the COVID-19 injured list will likely prove more punitive for Taylor, who is holding down a strong .831 OPS on the season.
Jul 24, 2021
Homers in back-to-back games
Taylor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
After hitting his first career grand slam Friday, Taylor kept the good times rolling with another homer on Saturday. The 27-year-old has been red hot since the All-Star break, batting .389 with two home runs and seven RBI. While the outfielder has been used as a pinch hitter for many of his plate appearances this season, his current run of form might require the Brewers to reconsider his role.
Jul 24, 2021
Swats first career grand slam
Taylor went 1-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk in Friday's 7-1 win over the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
Taylor put Milwaukee comfortably ahead and capped off a six-run seventh inning with his first career slam. The 27-year-old is slashing .240/.331/.440 with eight homers, 30 RBI and 20 runs scored through 172 plate appearances. He has mostly been limited to a bench role, starting just three of the last eight games, likely due to Milwaukee facing seven right-handed starters in that span.
Jul 11, 2021
Socks homer in lone at-bat
Taylor went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Taylor entered the game in the top of the seventh as a defensive replacement over Christian Yelich and made his presence felt on his lone at-bat, hitting his seventh homer of the campaign and tying the score at 3-3. That homer snapped a four-game hitless streak for Taylor, as well as ending a drought of 20 games without a homer.
Jul 2, 2021
Strong day offensively
Taylor went 1-for-3 with two RBI, two runs scored and two walks in Thursday's win over the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
Taylor plated home both Christian Yelich and Omar Narvaez with a two-run single in the top of the ninth inning, and this was just the second time all season long he managed to reach base at least three times. The 27-year-old only has a .663 OPS over his last eight games while also getting more time in the outfield, but he'd need to improve his overall numbers to justify the increase in at-bats he's receiving of late.
Jul 1, 2021
Getting plenty of work
Taylor will start in right field and bat fifth Thursday against the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
He'll be included in the lineup for the fifth time in six games, with his last two starts coming at the expense of Avisail Garcia. The Brewers could be inclined the ride the hotter bat of the two outfielders, as both have provided similar production on the whole this season. Taylor owns a .727 OPS over 127 plate appearances, while Garcia is holding down a .750 OPS in 283 plate appearances.
Jun 23, 2021
Records second steal
Taylor went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Arizona.
ANALYSIS
Wednesday was Taylor's first start since he returned from a shoulder injury that required a minimum stay on the injured list. The 27-year-old singled and stole second in the fourth inning. He also singled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jackie Bradley in the seventh. For the year, Taylor is is slashing .223/.311/.447 with six home runs, 15 RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases across 106 plate appearances. He's set to take on a depth role, as Christian Yelich, Bradley and Avisail Garcia are likely to be Milwaukee's preferred outfield trio.
Jun 22, 2021
Activated from IL
Taylor (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Taylor required a short stay on the IL after being placed on it June 13 with a right shoulder strain. He has certainly struggled offensively this season, hitting .216 in 88 at-bats, but serves as valuable depth and will not be a regular starter now that Christian Yelich is healthy.
Jun 19, 2021
Throws, takes BP
Taylor (shoulder) threw and took batting practice Saturday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain June 13. The outfielder's IL stint was initially expected to be on the shorter side, and things appear to be trending in that direction at this point. He's eligible to be activated Monday, though it's possible he'll need a few more days before being reinstated.
Jun 18, 2021
Hopes for short IL stay
Taylor (shoulder) is doing much better and hopes for a brief stay on the injured list, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor landed on the injured list with a right shoulder strain Saturday, but his injury is unlikely to require a lengthy absence. The 27-year-old is eligible to return during the team's upcoming series in Arizona, and he should take on a depth role in the outfield once he's back in action.
Jun 13, 2021
Moves to IL
The Brewers placed Taylor on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained right shoulder.
ANALYSIS
Utility man Tim Lopes was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to take Taylor's spot on the active roster. The 27-year-old Taylor had been working as a fourth outfielder for Milwaukee of late, with most of his starts coming against left-handed pitching. Lopes could be a candidate to serve as a short-side platoon partner with lefty-hitting center fielder Jackie Bradley while Taylor is on the shelf.
Jun 2, 2021
Two blasts Tuesday
Taylor went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
The two teams combined for nine homers on the night, and Taylor joined in the barrage in his first game since returning to the big-league roster. On the season, the 27-year-old is slashing .218/.307/.449 with five home runs and 12 RBI in 88 plate appearances, and he could handle a short-side platoon role in the Milwaukee outfield with Lorenzo Cain (hamstring) back on the IL.
Jun 1, 2021
Rejoins Brewers
Taylor was recalled from Triple-A Nashville Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
With Lorenzo Cain landing on the 10-day IL Tuesday with a strained right hamstring, Taylor will head back to the majors just a week after being optioned to Nashville. The outfielder will look to find greater success at the plate after slashing just .203/.298/.365 through 84 major-league plate appearances so far this season.
May 25, 2021
Optioned to Nashville
Taylor was optioned to Triple-A Nashville ahead of Tuesday's game against the Padres.
ANALYSIS
Taylor's demotion is less than shocking considering he's slashed just .203/.298/.365 across 84 plate appearances this season. Eric Yardley was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and will take Taylor's roster spot.
May 16, 2021
Not starting Sunday
Taylor is out of the lineup Sunday against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Taylor started the past two games while mired in an 0-for-12 slump. Jackie Bradley, Lorenzo Cain and Avisail Garcia will start from left to right in the outfield Sunday for Milwaukee.
May 9, 2021
Nabs fourth straight start
Taylor will start in right field and bat third Sunday against the Marlins.
ANALYSIS
He'll be picking up his fourth start in a row Sunday, with two of them coming versus right-handed pitchers and two versus lefties. Taylor doesn't yet appear to have seized a full-time role, as Milwaukee is likely to roll with Jackie Bradley, Avisail Garcia and Lorenzo Cain as its primary starters in the outfield while Christian Yelich (back) is on the shelf.
May 4, 2021
Back in big leagues
Taylor was recalled by the Brewers on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has hit .323/.400/.581 in 35 plate appearances for the Brewers this season but was optioned to the minors on Monday when Christian Yelich (back) returned from the injured list. Yelich was sent right back to the injured list Tuesday, so Taylor is set to get more opportunities with the major-league squad. He'll bat sixth and start in right field Tuesday against the Phillies.
May 3, 2021
Optioned off roster
Taylor was optioned to the Brewers' alternate training site Monday.
ANALYSIS
Taylor impressed in his time on the big-league roster, hitting .323/.400/.581 in 35 plate appearances. He's no longer needed with both Christian Yelich (back) and Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps) returning from the injured list, so he'll head to the minors to get regular at-bats and stay fresh for the next time the team needs another outfielder.
Apr 28, 2021
Paces Crew with three RBI
Taylor went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Marlins.
ANALYSIS
Taylor thrived in the lead-off role with manager Craig Counsell deciding to give Kolten Wong the day off. The 27-year-old went back-to-back with pitcher Adrian Houser in the second inning to give his team a 2-1 lead. He would later get his second RBI on a groundout in the fourth and then capped off his stellar night with an RBI single to right. Taylor now has consecutive multi-hit games for the first time in his young career and is slashing .474/.565/.895 with two home runs, seven RBI and two runs scored in 11 games as a fill-in for the injured Christian Yelich (back) and Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps).
Apr 20, 2021
Slugs pinch hit home run
Taylor went 1-for-1 with a solo home run during Monday's 3-1 win over the Padres.
ANALYSIS
Taylor came up to the plate to begin the eighth as a pinch hitter and drove a Drew Pomeranz fastball 440-feet over the fence in right to extend the Brewers' lead to 3-1. It was the 27-year-old's first home run and second hit overall since being called up April 14, as he'll continue to hold a depth role while Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps) is on the 10-day injured list.
Apr 14, 2021
Called up by Milwaukee
Taylor was recalled from the Brewers' alternate training site Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor was unable to break camp with the big-league club to begin the regular season, but he'll now serve as outfield depth after Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Taylor appeared in 22 games for the Brewers last season and hit .237 with two home runs and six RBI.
Apr 1, 2021
Sent to minors
The Brewers optioned Taylor to their alternate training site Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Taylor lost out to Billy McKinney in the battle for the fifth and final spot in the Milwaukee outfield. The 27-year-old exited his final Cactus League game last weekend with a bruised thigh, but the Brewers' decision to option him rather than placing him on the injured list implies that he's healthy now.
Mar 29, 2021
Nursing bruised thigh
Taylor suffered a bruised thigh during Saturday's spring game and will be held out for the final exhibition Tuesday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor isn't expected to miss much time as a result of the injury. He's played well for Milwaukee during the spring, hitting .293 with two home runs, four RBI and a stolen base, but he's unlikely to make the Opening Day roster with the abundance of outfield depth the Brewers currently possess.
Mar 22, 2021
Impressing in camp
Taylor added strength this offseason and has impressed the team, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Manager Craig Counsell noted that Taylor has made the case to stick in the major leagues. A well-regarded prospect several years ago, Taylor managed only 53 plate appearances in the majors as he enters his age-27 season. The addition of Jackie Bradley makes Taylor's path to a roster spot more difficult, though he is vying with Billy McKinney for the fifth outfielder role.
Mar 1, 2021
Homers in first spring game
Taylor went 2-for-3 with a home run in Sunday's spring opener.
ANALYSIS
Taylor held his own last year in his first extended look at the big-league level, and he got his 2021 spring off to a good start. The Brewers' starting outfield is set as long as everyone is healthy, but a quality exhibition campaign could help Taylor open the regular season as the club's fourth outfielder.
Sep 23, 2020
Notches second big-league homer
Taylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Tuesday in the Brewers' 3-2 win over the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Taylor's two-out blast in the fifth inning cut Milwaukee's deficit in half and represented the only offense the Brewers could muster against Reds starter Sonny Gray. After catching fire at the plate with four hits in the Brewers' Sept. 9 blowout win over the Tigers, Taylor had been struck in a 2-for-18 slump over his past 10 games before coming through with the clutch homer Tuesday.
Sep 9, 2020
Launches first career homer
Taylor went 4-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, three runs and three RBI during Wednesday's 19-0 win at Detroit.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old was called up by the Brewers at the start of September and had one hit through his first eight at-bats, but he busted out with the rest of the offense Wednesday. Taylor should operate in a reserve role during September if Christian Yelich, Avisail Garcia, Ryan Braun and Ben Gamel can remain healthy.
Sep 1, 2020
Called up by Brewers
Taylor was recalled by the Brewers on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Taylor appeared in 15 games for the Brewers last season, and he'll return to the active roster after Jedd Gyorko was placed on the bereavement list Tuesday. He should serve in a depth role during his time in the big leagues.
Jun 27, 2020
Optioned to alternate roster
Taylor (wrist) was optioned to the Brewers' Alternate Training Site roster Saturday.
ANALYSIS
After undergoing a left wrist procedure in November, Taylor was unable to appear in Cactus League games. After Saturday's move, he'll report to the Brewers' alternate training site ahead of the abbreviated 2020 season. It's unclear whether the 26-year-old will be able to appear in the majors at some point this season.

Won't appear in Cactus League
Taylor (wrist) will not play in any Cactus League games this spring, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor underwent a surgical procedure on his left wrist in November, and it turns out the 26-year-old will miss the start of the 2020 season as a result. The tentative plan is for Taylor to resume baseball activities near the beginning of March before progressing to rehab games in April.

Limited to start camp
Updating a previous report, Taylor will be limited to begin spring training while he recovers from an offseason left wrist procedure, and he's uncertain to be ready for Opening Day, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor broke some news when he told reporters at the "Brewers On Deck" event over the weekend that he required the procedure during the winter, something the organization hadn't previously disclosed. While Taylor said he would be ready to go for the start of spring training, the Brewers are apparently planning to take a more cautious approach with the 25-year-old. Taylor is in contention for an reserve role with the big club, though Ben Gamel's ability to play all three spots in the outfield could prompt manager Craig Counsell to carry only four outfielders on the Opening Day roster.

Healthy after offseason procedure
Taylor said Sunday that he's fully healthy heading into spring training after undergoing a procedure to address a wrist injury earlier in the offseason, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor's offseason surgery previously went unreported, but the 26-year-old's comment that he'll be ready for the spring suggests the procedure wasn't a significant one. Though he saw limited use for the Brewers as a September callup last season, Taylor finds himself up a spot higher on the organizational outfield depth chart entering 2020 after Trent Grisham was dealt to San Diego in November.
