Playing time trending up Taylor will start in left field and bat ninth in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.

Impact Taylor will crack the lineup for the fifth time in six contests, drawing three starts against righties and two versus lefties during that stretch. Though he's holding down an .870 OPS so far in June and may have earned some extra opportunities as a result, Taylor is still likely viewed as the White Sox's fourth outfielder behind Luis Robert, Andrew Benintendi and Mike Tauchman. Taylor seems most likely to see the bulk of the starts moving forward against left-handed pitching, serving as a replacement in the lineup for either the left-handed-hitting Benintendi or Tauchman.

Crushes three-run homer Taylor went 1-for-2 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and one steal in Tuesday's victory over the Tigers.

Impact ??Taylor played a pivotal role in Tuesday's win, drawing an RBI walk in the fourth inning and later launching a three-run homer in the sixth. The 34-year-old's overall season slash line of .206/.277/.374 with 14 RBI isn't impressive, but his .250/.338/.464 line with 12 RBI over the past 30 games is an encouraging sign. The 2021 Gold Glove winner will always provide value with his defense, but an offensive surge is a welcome development.

Likely in small-side platoon Taylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Reds.

Impact Taylor has been in the lineup for two straight games, even with Luis Robert back in the lineup. Both of those starts have come against left-handed pitching, though Taylor is likely to lose playing time to Joshua Palacios against right-handed pitching. He performed well with the opportunity Wednesday but is hitting just .198/.258/.360 across 94 plate appearances for the season.

Getting fourth straight start Taylor will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Taylor will draw his fourth consecutive start and his sixth in seven games, but his playing time is expected to trend down during the upcoming week. Luis Robert (ankle) is missing for the lineup for the second straight game, but he's available off the bench Sunday and is likely to rejoin the lineup Tuesday in Cincinnati following Monday's team off day. Once Robert returns, Taylor will be left to fend with Brooks Baldwin and Joshua Palacios for playing time at either corner-outfield spot when the White Sox face right-handed pitchers.
