Chris Taylor Placed on 10-Day Injured List with Fractured Hand

The Los Angeles Angels announced that they have placed outfielder Chris Taylor on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left hand. Jones, who suffered the injury on a diving play in the outfield on Friday, expects to miss around six weeks. This is the second time this season that Taylor has broken his left hand. He just returned this past Monday after sitting out a month and a half thanks to the injury, but now the 34-year-old is already back on the shelf. When healthy, the former All-Star has posted a dismal .194/.247/.319 line with one home run and six RBI in 77 plate appearances between the Angels and Dodgers.

Chris Taylor Activated From Injured List on Monday

The Los Angeles Angels reinstated outfielder Chris Taylor (hand) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and optioned outfielder Gustavo Campero to Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move. Taylor did not start in Monday's 7-5 loss to the hosting New York Mets at Citi Field, but he entered the game late as a pinch-hitter and went 0-for-1. The 34-year-old veteran has made his return to the Halos after fracturing his left hand in early June. Taylor can play pretty much anywhere on the diamond and could see some run at second base with rookie Christian Moore (thumb) on the injured list, but he really should be ignored outside of AL-only leagues. He was released earlier this season by the Los Angeles Dodgers and came into Monday's action hitting .200 (13-for-65) with a homer and five RBI in a bench role. Taylor is striking out 37% of the time in 2025.

Chris Taylor Nearing a Return

Los Angeles Angels utility man Chris Taylor (hand) started his minor-league rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Thursday and has gone 4-for-6 with two RBI in two games played so far. Taylor was hit by a pitch on June 9, and X-rays revealed a left-hand fracture. The 34-year-old veteran began the season with the Los Angeles Dodgers but was cut after 10 years with the team while hitting just .200 (7-for-35) in 28 games played. He has only played in 10 games with the Angels since latching on with the team and has gone 6-for-30 (.200) with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base. When Taylor is activated from the 10-day injured list, possibly in late July, he will serve as a utility infielder/outfielder for the Angels the rest of the way in the second half. There's very little fantasy value here because of his high-strikeout rate and limited playing time.

Chris Taylor Begins Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Angels infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (hand) began a rehab assignment in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Thursday. Taylor had a big night, going 3-for-3 with a double, two RBI, and a run scored. The 34-year-old hasn't appeared in the majors since suffering a fractured left hand on a hit by pitch on June 9. That continued a brutal start to the season for Taylor, who has combined to hit .200/.246/.323 with one home run in 69 plate appearances between the Dodgers and Angels. He wasn't much better over a larger sample size of 246 plate appearances last year, when he batted .202/.298/.300 in 246 trips to the plate.

Chris Taylor Still Wearing a Brace

Los Angeles Angels infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (hand) is still wearing a brace on his fractured left hand but will accompany the team on their road trip to Atlanta and Toronto this week, according to MLB.com. Taylor was hit by a pitch on June 9 and landed on the 10-day injured list a day later after X-rays showed a fracture. We'll have a better idea on the 34-year-old veteran's timetable for a return when he resumes baseball activities, but in a best-case scenario he might be able to return as a super-utility player for the Halos in late July. The strikeout-happy Taylor was released by the Los Angeles Dodgers this year after hitting .200 with 13 strikeouts in 35 plate appearances. He went 6-for-30 (.200) with a homer, three RBI and 13 K's in his first 10 games with the Angels and is merely an AL-only option for bench depth at this point in his career.

Chris Taylor Goes on 10-Day Injured List With Fractured Hand

The Los Angeles Angels announced on Tuesday that they placed outfielder Chris Taylor (hand) on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left hand and added first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. to the major-league roster in a corresponding move. Taylor was recently scooped up by the Halos after he was cut by the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the 34-year-old veteran only made it 10 games with the Angels before fracturing his hand on a hit-by-pitch in Monday's win over the Athletics. There's no timetable for when Taylor might be able to return, but it's a good bet we won't see him until the second half of the season. He had gone 6-for-30 (.200) with a homer, three RBI and a steal as a utility player for the Angels. Wade could see occasional start in the outfield against right-handed pitching but isn't anything more than a bench stash in AL-only leagues after being cut by the Giants earlier this year.

Chris Taylor Signs With Angels, to Start on Monday

Free-agent super-utility man Chris Taylor signed an undisclosed deal with the Los Angeles Angels on Monday and will start in center field and bat eighth in his debut with the team for the series opener against the visiting New York Yankees and left-hander Ryan Yarbrough, sources tell The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. In a corresponding move, the Angels optioned infielder Kyren Paris to Triple-A Salt Lake. The Dodgers released Taylor after 10 seasons with the team, but he quickly has latched on with the crosstown Angels and will start immediately on Memorial Day. The 34-year-old veteran swings and misses a lot and has a high strikeout rate, but he could play regularly with the Halos, making him immediately attractive in AL-only leagues. In 28 games with the Dodgers before being released, Taylor went 7-for-35 (.200) with no homers, two RBI and 13 punchouts.

Dodgers Designate Chris Taylor for Assignment

The Los Angeles Dodgers have designated infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor for assignment. Taylor has been with the Dodgers since the 2016 campaign. Through the opening part of the 2025 campaign, Taylor has gotten off to a slow start, holding a .200 AVG across 28 games. Taylor tallied just two doubles, with no home runs. He struck out at a high 37.1% rate and did not draw a walk. Last season, Taylor struggled at the plate too, posting a modest .202/.298/.300 slash line with just seven doubles and four round-trippers across 87 contests. Taylor enjoyed his best season during the 2017 campaign, tallying 34 doubles, 21 home runs, and swiping 17 bags. Given his ability to play multiple positions, the 34-year-old could draw interest on waivers. However, given his slow start, he should remain on waivers in all formats.

Chris Taylor Activated, Jason Heyward Designated For Assignment

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (groin) from the 10-day injured list on Thursday and designated outfielder Jason Heyward for assignment in a corresponding move. Taylor will return to the Dodgers after landing on the shelf in late July with a strained left groin. Both Taylor and Heyward have been pretty dreadful offensively in 2024, but the 33-year-old Taylor at least offers versatility at other positions on the infield. Taylor will return to a .167/.277/.265 slash line with an abysmal .542 OPS, three homers, 15 RBI and three steals. Continue to ignore him in mixed fantasy leagues. Heyward, meanwhile, loses his 40-man roster spot after already seeing his playing time dwindle in right field after Mookie Betts returned from a fractured hand. The 35-year-old has hit .208 (36-for-173) for the Blue this year with six homers, 28 RBI and four steals.

Dodgers Officially Place Chris Taylor On Injured List

The Los Angeles Dodgers officially placed infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (groin) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a left-groin strain and recalled outfielder James Outman from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. Taylor, who suffered his groin strain while running out a double on Wednesday night against the division-rival San Francisco Giants, will now miss at least the next 10 days. It's been a terrible year for the 33-year-old veteran, and he hasn't been relevant at all in mixed leagues in 2024 while slashing just .167/.277/.265 with a .542 OPS, three home runs and 15 RBI in 162 at-bats for the Blue. Outman will provide additional outfield depth for LA for the time being, while Enrique Hernandez should be the biggest beneficiary for the Dodgers moving forward at third base, at least until Max Muncy (oblique) returns from his lengthy IL stint.
