Placed on 10-day IL Taylor was placed on the 10-day injured list with a back injury Sunday.
Impact The move was made retroactive to Sept. 23, so the earliest the reliever can return is Oct. 3, the final game of the season. Since returning from the COVID-19 list on Sept. 6, he gave up two runs while striking out six in five innings. Right-hander Eduard Bazardo was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday.

Grabs extra-inning save Taylor recorded his first save of the season, and first career save, in Saturday's 9-8 extra-inning win over the White Sox, giving up a hit and striking out two in a scoreless 10th...
Impact Hansel Robles pitched the sixth inning and Garrett Whitlock the eighth and ninth Friday, while Adam Ottavino worked the night before, leaving closing duties to Taylor when the Red Sox pushed across a run in the top of the 10th. The southpaw hasn't been particularly sharp since coming off the COVID-19 list, giving up two runs in 2.2 innings across four appearances, but as the top left-hander in the bullpen he could potentially see another save chance or two down the stretch as part of Boston's high-leverage crew.

Back from COVID-19 IL The Red Sox reinstated Taylor from the COVID-19-related injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Rays.
Impact Though he was deactivated Aug. 30, Taylor never tested positive for the virus and was thus eligible to return from the IL in less than 10 days. The Red Sox were comfortable with how Taylor looked from a conditioning standpoint while he played catch on the field earlier Monday, so he should be available out of the bullpen for the series opener.

Labeled close contact Taylor was identified as a close contact for COVID-19 and must quarantine, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Impact Taylor spent a couple days on the virus-related injured list in the middle of August but didn't test positive for COVID-19. When he can rejoin the Red Sox will obviously depend on whether he produces a positive test this time around. Fellow relievers Matt Barnes and Martin Perez tested positive Monday.

Cleared for doubleheader The Red Sox reinstated Taylor from the COVID-19-related injured list ahead of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Yankees.
Impact Taylor was on the COVID-19 IL for only two days, an indication that he never tested positive for the virus and was instead deactivated for contact-tracing reasons. With the reliever having cleared all health and safety protocols in quick fashion, he should be available out of the bullpen for the twin bill. Through 48 appearances on the season, Taylor has posted a 3.23 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 51:20 in 39 innings.
