Michael A. Taylor Getting regular run in outfield
Taylor will start in left field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
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.
Michael A. Taylor Strong effort at plate
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.
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.
