Drives in three Friday Taylor went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and three RBI in Friday's 9-5 win over Atlanta.
Impact Remarkably, the Dodgers produced that offense on only four hits thanks to eight free passes from Atlanta pitching, with Taylor's bases-loaded two-bagger being the biggest blow in an eight-run fifth inning. The 30-year-old got the start at second base with Cody Bellinger back in the lineup in center field, but Taylor should remain a fixture in the lineup somewhere on the diamond as long as he maintains something close to his current career-high .405 OBP and .888 OPS.

Strong effort Monday Taylor went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Cardinals.
Impact Taylor entered this game on a poor stretch, having mustered just two hits over his previous five appearances (2-for-16) but bounced back here with one of his best performances of the campaign. The 30-year-old also ended an eight-game drought without a homer and now has seven on the season, meaning he's just one bomb away from tying his total from 2020's shortened campaign.

Homers in return to lineup Taylor went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in a 9-1 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
Impact Taylor hadn't started for the Dodgers since Saturday as he nursed a wrist injury, but he looked none the worse for wear in his return to the starting nine Tuesday. The utilityman got his first start of the season at third base and slugged a two-run homer in the fifth inning to give Los Angeles a two-run lead that they did not relinquish. Taylor has been one of the most consistent hitters for the team this season, slashing .295/.430/.508 with five home runs, five stolen bases and 18 RBI.

Returning to lineup Tuesday Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Taylor (wrist) will start at third base in Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Taylor had been limited to a bench role the past two games due to a sore right wrist, but he looks like he'll avoid becoming the latest player to join the ever-expanding Los Angeles injured list. Due in part to Cody Bellinger (lower leg), Corey Seager (hand) and AJ Pollock (hamstring) all missing time because of injuries, Taylor has often benefited from favorable positioning in the batting order, which has helped him pile up counting stats. He enters play Tuesday tied for fourth in the majors in runs scored (32), while his five stolen bases place him in the top 25.
