Grant Taylor - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Earns win in relief Friday Taylor (5-2) walked one and struck out two over a scoreless ninth inning to earn the win in Friday's 6-4 victory over the Mets.

Impact Taylor entered with the game tied 4-4 and worked around a leadoff walk to keep New York off the board, setting the stage for Rogers' walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth. The right-hander needed 15 pitches (10 strikes) to complete the frame and lowered his ERA to 2.01. Taylor has remained one of Chicago's primary late-inning arms and continues to provide value across multiple high-leverage roles. Over his last eight outings, he has one win and three holds while going 2-for-4 in save chances while posting a 0.94 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB.

Notches seventh save Taylor earned the save in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Cubs, walking one while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact It was another impressive showing from Taylor, who's now held opponents without an earned run in his last 21.1 innings -- he's allowed just 10 hits while striking out 21 in that span. The 24-year-old right-hander's ERA is down to 2.05 across 66 innings this season with a 1.02 WHIP and 85:21 K:BB. The White Sox have continued to use a committee in the ninth inning, though Taylor remains the best option for saves in the South Side down the stretch.

AUGUST 12 • Associated Press

Posts sixth save Taylor allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Guardians. He did not strike out or walk a batter.

Impact Taylor had earned three holds over his last five appearances but didn't log a save in that span. Save chances have been limited for all of the White Sox's bullpen lately, but Taylor should have a clearer path to ninth-inning duties after Chicago offloaded Seranthony Dominguez to Seattle ahead of the trade deadline. Taylor has a 2.28 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 78:19 K:BB across 59.1 innings while adding six saves, eight holds and three blown saves this season. Overall, we'll need to see the White Sox generating more save chances to potentially boost Taylor's status.

Tallies fifth save Taylor secured the save Sunday against Toronto, allowing two hits and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Taylor continues to stake his claim for more ninth-inning work in Chicago's bullpen. The right-hander has successfully converted three consecutive save opportunities, submitting four scoreless frames during that stretch. Taylor sports a 2.74 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 67:17 K:BB with five saves in eight chances over 49.1 innings, and he figures to continue sharing the closer role with Sean Newcomb based on matchups.

Collects fourth save Taylor recorded his fourth save of the season in Saturday's 1-0 win over the A's, walking one and striking out two over 1.2 scoreless innings of relief.

Impact The 24-year-old right-hander closed out the combined shutout, needing 22 pitches (14 strikes) to produce the final five outs. Taylor has collected two of Chicago's three saves in July, with the third going to southpaw Sean Newcomb, and the duo could handle the closing duties for the White Sox the rest of the way unless the club picks up a late-inning arm at the trade deadline. On the season, Taylor sports a 2.79 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 67:17 K:BB through 48.1 innings.

Secures third save Taylor earned the save in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Guardians, allowing no hits and one walk with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Taylor was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning and did so on 17 pitches. It was a nice rebound after the 24-year-old blew a save chance Thursday, and he still owns a 2.96 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 65:15 K:BB across 45.2 innings this season despite allowing eight earned runs over his past eight appearances. He's now converted three of six save chances to go along with five holds and appears to be taking the lead for the closer role over the struggling Seranthony Dominguez.

Charged with loss, blown save Taylor (4-2) took the loss and blew the save Thursday against the Guardians, allowing two runs on one hit and two walks in 1.1 innings. He struck out two.

Impact Even though Seranthony Dominguez has blown back-to-back saves, Taylor isn't making much of a case for ninth-inning work. The 24-year-old right-hander has coughed up eight runs in his last seven outings, blowing two save chances during that stretch. Taylor still has a strong 3.02 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 64:14 K:BB over 44.1 innings, but he's converted only two of his five save opportunities.

Earns third win Saturday Taylor (3-1) earned the win against the Royals on Saturday, striking out four over two perfect innings.

Impact Taylor entered a tie game in the eighth inning and needed just 19 pitches to log two perfect frames. It snapped a streak of five straight outings in which the 24-year-old allowed at least one run, and he's now worked multiple frames in five of his past nine appearances. For the year, he's notched two saves and five holds to go along with a 2.83 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 60:12 K:BB across 41.1 innings.

Secures second save Taylor struck out three batters in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.

Impact Taylor was summoned to protect a three-run lead in the ninth inning and struck out the side on 14 pitches to earn his second save of the year. Seranthony Dominguez appeared in the eighth inning Saturday and threw just 11 pitches, but the White Sox opted to go with Taylor, who hadn't pitched since Wednesday. The 24-year-old has been fantastic this season, posting a 1.93 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 50:9 K:BB with two saves and four holds across 32.2 innings.

MAY 24 • Associated Press

Strikes out side for save Taylor struck out three batters in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.

Impact Seranthony Dominguez wasn't used Monday but threw 32 pitches Sunday, so he may have been given some extra rest. In any case, Taylor was able to get the job done for his first save of the season, continuing a strong May in which he's allowed one unearned run while adding a 15:4 K:BB across 10 innings. He has a 1.78 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 38:8 K:BB through 25.1 innings over 19 appearances, including four outings as an opener. His background as a starter gives him multi-inning capabilities out of the bullpen, but he's been dominant enough so far to work his way into high-leverage work as well. In addition to the save, he's added two holds and a blown save.
