Chris Taylor - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Inks minor-league deal with Halos Taylor signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Taylor was with the Angels for spring training but was unsuccessful in making the team's Opening Day roster. He initially opted out of his contract March 20, but the veteran outfielder will return to the organization and likely play for Triple-A Salt Lake. Taylor appeared in 58 regular-season games between the Angels and Dodgers in 2025 and would be in line for a major-league call-up if the Angels require additional depth in the outfield.

Rejoins Angels Taylor signed a contract with the Angels on Thursday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact No details of the deal are currently known, but presumably it's a short-term contract that gives Taylor a good chance of starting the campaign on the big-league roster. He ended the 2025 season with the Angels and hit .179 with two homers and 10 RBI across only 90 plate appearances with the club. Taylor will likely be in a reserve role, but he could get several starts per week due to his ability to play all three outfield spots as well as second and third base.

Impact The veteran utility man racked up a season-high four RBI in only his second multi-RBI effort of the year.
