Sits in second gameTaylor will sit Friday against the Rockies, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
ImpactTaylor may not be the Dodgers' primary starter at any one position this year, but he should still find himself in the lineup on a regular basis, primarily at second base and in left field. He started in left field at AJ Pollock's expense on Opening Day but will retreat to the bench for the second game of the season, while Gavin Lux makes his second straight start at the keystone.

Scores twice on Opening DayCron went 2-for-4 with two runs and a double in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Dodgers.
ImpactThe first baseman was an offensive catalyst for Colorado, hitting a leadoff single in his team's go-ahead, two-run sixth inning. Cron struggled considerably in 2020 with Detroit, but perhaps the change of scenery will restore his offensive value. Hitting fifth in the order behind Trevor Story and Charlie Blackmon should position Cron for success in 2021, and playing half his games at Coors Field gives him a chance to surpass his career-high 30 homers in 2018 with the Rays.

Struggles in Dodgers debutNelson pitched two-thirds of an inning against Colorado on Thursday, allowing two runs on one hit and two walks while striking out one. He also uncorked two wild pitches.
ImpactNelson was detrimentally wild in his first appearance since 2019, throwing only 15 of 28 pitches for strikes and twice watching runners cross the plate following a wild pitch. The right-hander made the Dodgers' roster in a bullpen role as the result of a strong spring, and it understandable if his ineffectiveness Thursday was at least partially tied to rust and nerves. He'll certainly get more opportunities to prove he still has something left in the tank, though he doesn't figure to pitch in high-leverage spots out of the gate.
