Michael A. Taylor Stats

Kansas City Royals outfielder Michael A. Taylor had a strong game in the team's 8-1 win over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday. He went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two RBI. The home run was his 12th of the year and his first since August 29. Taylor is slashing .246/.300/.361 over 133 games on the year with 12 stolen bases to go along with his 12 home runs. The 30-year-old has been buried in the Royals' lineup most of the year and just hasn't had the consistency needed to warrant fantasy intrigue.

Kansas City Royals outfielder Michael A. Taylor notched his first multi-hit game in nearly a month on Wednesday. Facing Lucas Giolito and the Chicago White Sox, Taylor went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two runs scored. Through 97 games on the year, Taylor is slashing .238/.297/.364 with 10 home runs, seven stolen bases, 38 RBI and 43 runs. Strikeouts have been a big problem for him this year as his 29.1% strikeout rate ranks in the bottom 9% of the league. He's also been buried in an underwhelming Royals lineup all year, which greatly limits his fantasy appeal.

Kansas City Royals outfielder Michael A. Taylor came through with a clutch single in the team's 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. Taylor came up in the 10th inning of a tie game and delivered a walk-off single as Hunter Dozier came around to score. The walk-off single was Taylor's only hit of the day as he went 1-for-4. Over 19 games in July, Taylor is slashing .267/.328/.350 with just three extra-base hits (two doubles, one home run). His 30.2% strikeout rate on the year ranks in the bottom 8% of the league and he also ranks in the bottom 20% of the league in xSLG (.358). He remains buried at the bottom of the Royals' batting order and should continue to remain on waivers in all fantasy leagues at this point.
