Latches on with Halos Taylor signed a contract with the Angels and is expected to start in center field for Monday's game against the Yankees, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Taylor's 10-season stint with the Dodgers came to an end earlier this month when he was released, but he won't have to travel far for his next stop. The 34-year-old utility player inked a deal with the Angels and figures to step into significant playing time right away for the 25-27 Halos. Taylor's clearest path to action is in center field, where his primary competition will be Kyren Paris and Matthew Lugo, though Taylor's versatility could make him more of a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none type. Still, his lack of hitting production with the Dodgers -- posting a .457 OPS with a 37.1 percent K rate this season -- makes him a risky fantasy option.

DFA made official The Dodgers designated Taylor for assignment, the team announced Sunday.

Impact Taylor will yield his spot on the 26-man and 40-man roster to clear up a spot for Tommy Edman to return from the 10-day injured list. The 34-year-old had been with the Dodgers since 2016 but couldn't find consistent playing time this season. Although he's struggled at the plate in 2025, his defensive versatility could warrant some interest on waivers.

Being DFA"d The Dodgers are expected to designate Taylor for assignment Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Taylor has been in the starting lineup just six times this season and is slashing .200/.200/.257 with a 37.1 percent strikeout rate in 35 plate appearances, so it's not a major surprise to see him dropped from the 40-man roster. Still, the veteran utility player could draw some interest on waivers. The move could open up a spot for Tommy Edman (ankle), who's nearing a return from the 10-day injured list.
