Chris Taylor - Homers in Sunday's winTaylor went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rockies.
ImpactTaylor started all three games at Colorado this weekend while the Dodgers rested some regulars. He went 6-for-10 with two steals over those contests, a rare productive stretch in a season that saw the utility man more frequently confined to a bench role. Overall, he slashed .202/.298/.300 with four homers, 23 RBI, 28 runs scored and five steals across 246 plate appearances, which was his lightest workload in a full-length season since 2016.
