Cranks fourth home run Taylor went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a walk in the 8-7 loss Sunday to the Padres.

Impact After sitting the last two games with back tightness, Taylor slammed a three-run home run off Nick Ramirez in the sixth inning. The 30-year-old hadn't done much in the past week prior to Sunday besides picking up a pair of stolen bases. He is slashing .246/.387/.525 with four home runs, 12 RBI and 14 runs scored in 18 games this season.

Checks back into lineup Taylor (back) will start at second base and bat fifth Sunday against the Padres.

Impact He'll move back into the starting nine after lower-back tightness limited him to a bench role over the past three games. Taylor looked to be healthy when he entered Saturday's 5-4 win in the bottom of the sixth. He delivered a pinch-hit single and then proceeded to play the final three innings, seeing time in both center field and second base.

Needs another day Taylor (back) will sit again Saturday against the Padres but may be able to return to the lineup Sunday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Taylor was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's season opener due to lower-back tightness and remained on the bench Friday, but it doesn't sound as though he's in line for an extended absence. He owns a solid .817 OPS through 67 plate appearances this season, but the Dodgers have plenty of quality depth options to use in his place.

Impact Taylor will be out of the lineup for a second straight game as he deals with lower-back tightness. Max Muncy will shift to second base while Edwin Rios starts at first base Friday.

Impact There's no word on the seriousness of the injury, though Taylor will be forced to miss at least one game. Sheldon Neuse will take over at second base and bat seventh in Taylor's absence.

Swipes another bag Taylor went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over Seattle.

Impact Though he has gone a collective 0-for-5 over his past two games, Taylor has worked a pair of walks and converted those into two steals. The utility man's fantasy value is largely tied to his moderate power and production potential in a loaded Dodgers lineup, but his appeal will certainly increase if he continues to make waves on the basepaths.

Urías dominates as Dodgers pull out 1-0 win over Mariners

Julio Urías threw seven dominant innings of one-hit ball, striking out a career-high 11 and leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 1-0 win over the Seattle Mariners

APRIL 20, 2021 • Associated Press

Steals base in loss Taylor went 0-for-2 with a stolen base, a walk and a hit by pitch in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Taylor walked to begin the fourth inning and wound up stealing second for his first stolen base of the season. The 30-year-old has topped 10 steals in a season just once in the first seven seasons of his career, so fantasy managers should keep expectations now for that part of his game. However, he's sitting on a solid .235/.381/.471 batting line, and after finishing with an OPS between .775 and .850 in each of the last four seasons, he should be expected to land around that level again this year.

Cranks third home run Taylor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-2 loss against the Padres.

Impact Taylor started in center field where he's received most of his starts. His third homer of the season came off Blake Snell in the second inning, marking the only runs scored by the Dodgers Sunday. Taylor is striking out 30.2% of the time, but is still batting .245, which is enough to score 13 runs on the season for the Dodgers.

Goes deep Saturday Taylor went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 9-5 victory over Washington.

Impact With both Mookie Betts (back) and Cody Bellinger (calf) still out of commission, Taylor manned center field and assumed the leadoff spot in the order for the third straight contest. The utility player did his best impression of his former-MVP teammates, ripping a three-run home run off Patrick Corbin in the second inning to help Los Angeles jump out to a big early lead. Taylor is once again proving invaluable to the club, slashing .273/.484/.500 with five RBI while logging time at four different positions in the early going.
