    Chris Taylor To Start In Left Field In Game 3

    Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (neck) will get the start in left field in Game 3 of the National League Division Series on Friday against San Diego Padres left-hander Blake Snell. Taylor battled neck tightness at the end of the regular season and received a cortisone injection last week. He'll take over for Trayce Thompson, who will most likely move to center field and send Cody Bellinger to the bench against a lefty. Taylor wasn't as good this year as he was in his lone All-Star season in 2021, and he also hit .193 (23-for-119) with only two of his 10 home runs, nine RBI and 13 runs scored in 75 games against left-handed pitching in 2022. Expect Taylor to hit near the bottom of LA's lineup on Friday. He hasn't played since Sept. 30.

    Chris Taylor Remains Out Of The Lineup

    Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (neck) remains out of the starting lineup for Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Wednesday against the San Diego Padres. Taylor has been dealing with a sore neck and hasn't played in a game since Sept. 30. He was not used off the bench in the team's 5-3 win over the Padres in Game 1 on Tuesday. Trayce Thompson will get another start in left field and will hit eighth in the batting order against Padres right-hander Yu Darvish. Thompson went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in the Game 1 win on Tuesday night in his first career playoff game.

    Chris Taylor Not In Game 1 Lineup Tuesday

    Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (neck) made the team's roster for the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres this week, but he's not in the starting lineup for Game 1 on Tuesday. But the 32-year-old will be available as a utility bat and glove off the bench for the Dodgers to begin the series. Trayce Thompson is starting in left field for the Dodgers and is hitting eighth against Padres right-hander Mike Clevinger. Thompson, who began the year with the Padres, hit .268/.364/.537 with a .901 OPS, 13 home runs, 39 RBI, 35 runs scored and four stolen bases in 74 games with LA. He enters the postseason after going 6-for-14 with a homer, two RBI and three runs scored in his final five regular season games.

    Chris Taylor To Take Live At-Bats Sunday, Monday

    Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (neck) has responded well to a cortisone injection that he received this week and will take live at-bats on Sunday and Monday, according to skipper Dave Roberts. If he's able to come out of those sessions healthy, he'll likely be included on the roster for the National League Division Series, which begins on Tuesday, Oct. 11. After making his first All-Star team in 2021, Taylor wasn't as good for the Dodgers this year, slashing .221/.304/.373 with 10 home runs, 43 RBI, 45 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 454 plate appearances and 118 games. But the Dodgers will be much better off in their first playoff series of 2022 if the utility man is available for them.

    Chris Taylor Confident He'll Be Ready For NLDS

    Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (neck) said his neck is feeling better and he's "100 percent" confident right now that he'll be ready to play in the National League Division Series that starts next week. With the best record in baseball and the No. 1 overall seed in the NL playoffs, the Dodgers will have a bye until the NLDS, so Taylor will have a little more time to recover from a stiff neck he's been dealing with of late. The 32-year-old received a cortisone shot on Monday and is unlikely to play in the team's final two regular season games against the Colorado Rockies this week. After making the All-Star team for the first time in his career in 2021, Taylor has slashed just .221/.304/.373 with 10 homers, 43 RBI, 45 runs and 10 steals in 402 at-bats in 2022.

    Chris Taylor's Postseason Status Uncertain

    Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (neck) is dealing with a really stiff neck, and there's a decent chance he won't play in the final three regular season games against the Colorado Rockies this week, according to skipper Dave Roberts. Taylor can still see live pitching in simulated games, but his status for the postseason is uncertain after he received a cortisone injection. For now, the 32-year-old utility man will be day-to-day, and he still has a week to recover before the start of the National League Division Series. Taylor has hit just .221/.304/.373 this year with 10 home runs, 43 RBI, 45 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 402 at-bats. As a first-time All-Star in 2021, he hit .254 with 20 homers, 73 RBI and 13 steals in 148 regular season games.
