Josh Taylor Stats

Boston Red Sox left-handed reliever Josh Taylor (back) has twice had his minor league rehab assignment halted, most recently just before the All-Star break. However, skipper Alex Cora said that Taylor threw a bullpen session on Aug. 6 in Fort Myers, Fla. "It was a long one, too," Cora said. Taylor has yet to pitch for the Red Sox this year and there's no timetable for his return. In 61 appearances out of the bullpen last year, the 29-year-old had a 3.40 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, one save, 60 strikeouts and 23 walks in 47 2/3 innings pitched. In his three seasons in Boston, Taylor has a 3.69 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 129 K's and 44 walks in 121 outings (one start).

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Josh Taylor (back) completed a bullpen session this past Sunday. According to Red Sox manager Alex Cora, Taylor will throw another bullpen session soon, then face live hitters. After that, he will likely be sent out on a rehab assignment. Taylor has yet to pitch in the majors this year as he's been nursing a lower back strain. He's had multiple bumps in the road during his recovery, but seems to be on a positive trajectory at this point. Last year, Taylor racked up 15 holds while posting a 3.40 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP.
