Rehab appearance on tap Taylor (back) will pitch an inning at Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Taylor dealt with a back issue for most of camp, and the injury has forced him to miss the start of the regular season. He threw live batting practice Thursday and will make a rehab appearance to close out the weekend. Per Alex Speier of The Boston Globe, manager Alex Cora suggested that Taylor will require 5-6 rehab appearances, so he's likely still at least a week away from rejoining the major-league club.

Impact Taylor dealt with a back injury late last year and has managed a similar issue this spring. The southpaw will face hitters Thursday before heading to Boston to rehab with the team during the first homestead of the regular season. Manager Alex Cora is hopeful that Taylor will be able to begin a rehab assignment early next week, which could put him on track to make his 2022 debut late next week or sometime next weekend.

Placed on injured list Taylor (back) was placed on the injured list Thursday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Ruled out for Opening Day Taylor (back) will not be ready for Opening Day, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Impact That means the Red Sox will be without one of their top setup men to begin the season. Taylor will be placed on the injured list in the coming days, while manager Alex Cora figures out the team's late-game options. The bullpen is heavy with lefties, so there are plenty of replacement relievers.

Won't go to arbitration Taylor (back) and the Red Sox agreed Tuesday on a one-year, $1.025 million contract to avoid arbitration, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Though Taylor's availability for the Red Sox's April 7 season opener against the Yankees remains in flux due to a disc issue that dates back to last year, he'll at least be on the books for 2022 now that he's come to terms with Boston. He was a key lefty reliever for the Red Sox in 2021, finishing with a 3.40 ERA (2.83 FIP) across 47.2 innings spanning 61 appearances.

Availability for opener in question Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Taylor is dealing with a minor back issue that could affect his availability for Opening Day, Chad Jennings of The Athletic reports.
Impact Taylor contended with a back injury late in the 2021 regular season, but he was reinstated from the injured list prior to the Red Sox's wild-card round series. Though he seemingly came out of the postseason without any setbacks, the back issue has apparently reared its head again while he's been throwing during the spring. The 29-year-old was an important bullpen arm for Boston in 2022, but the Red Sox are better equipped to handle a potential Taylor absence after adding two lefties to the bullpen this offseason in Jake Diekman and Matt Strahm.

Activated from injured list Taylor (back) was activated off the injured list Tuesday and added to Boston's wild-card roster, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Impact Taylor missed the end of the regular season with a back issue, but it was evidently a fairly minor one. He'll give Boston a useful left-handed relief option, as he finished the year with a 3.40 ERA in 47.2 innings of work.
