Not in Wednesday's lineup Taylor is not in the Mets' starting lineup against the Rockies on Wednesday, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.

Impact Taylor will be out of the Mets' lineup for a second consecutive game while the team starts Juan Soto, Carson Benge and MJ Melendez in the outfield from left to right. Taylor has struggled at the plate as of late, having gone 3-for-22 (.136) with one RBI over his last eight outings.

Heading to bench Monday Taylor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Taylor will hit the bench after starting in the Mets' previous three games while going 1-for-11 with a walk and an RBI. Though his playing-time outlook has improved with Luis Robert (back) recently landing on the injured list, Taylor may have to settle for a part-time role in center field against right-handed pitching since rookie Carson Benge is also capable of covering the position.

Provides lone run in Game 1 loss Taylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 3-1 loss to the Rockies in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader.

Impact Taylor went deep off Jose Quintana in the fifth inning of the matinee game. This was Taylor's second homer of the season, though he entered Sunday just 4-for-19 (.211) over his previous nine games. The outfielder reverted to his usual recent form by going 0-for-3 in the nightcap, ending the day at .214/.233/.381 slash line with two homers, seven RBI, four runs scored and no stolen bases over 45 plate appearances. Taylor is working as a fourth outfielder for now and will likely earn most of his plate appearances against southpaws, though the newly-signed Austin Slater could end up filling a similar role.

Mets Will Retire Carlos Beltran's No. 15 Jersey, and He Will Enter Team Hall of Fame

Comes up big after late entrance Taylor went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in a 9-0 win against the Giants on Saturday.

Impact Taylor began the game on the bench, but he was called upon to pinch hit for Jared Young in the fifth inning. That decision proved to be wise for the Mets, as Taylor blasted a three-run homer on the fifth pitch he saw and later added an RBI single. This was a much-needed performance by Taylor, who entered the game 0-for-9 through four contests. Taylor could see more opportunities moving forward if Juan Soto, who left Friday's game due to a minor right calf strain, needs to miss more time.
