Mets outfielder Tyrone Taylor has hernia and elbow surgeries
Mets outfielder Tyrone Taylor had a pair of operations and should be ready for spring training in mid-FebruaryNOVEMBER 8 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Out two months after dual surgeries Taylor will be sidelined two months following hernia surgery on Oct. 30 and surgery Thursday to remove a loose body from his right elbow.

The 30-year-old tentatively appears in line to start in center field for the Mets next season, although that could certainly change based on offseason additions.

Back on bench Wednesday Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
Impact Taylor had started in center field over Harrison Bader in both of the Mets' last two matchups with right-handed pitchers, but Bader is manning center field for the second time in the series while New York faces off against a lefty (Cole Irvin). Manager Carlos Mendoza hasn't indicated that the two outfielders have moved into a platoon, though Bader's ongoing slump might have opened up more opportunities for Taylor in the short term. Bader has gone 3-for-28 over his last 12 games heading into Wednesday.

Drives in three Sunday Taylor went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Monday's win over the Cardinals.
Impact The veteran outfielder slapped a bases-loaded double down the right-field line in the fifth inning, giving the Mets some insurance runs in a 6-0 victory. Taylor got a rare start in right field against right-hander Andre Pallante with Jesse Winker getting a breather and Jeff McNeil needed at second base, but he's mostly fallen into a short-side platoon role since Winker was acquired. Taylor's been productive of late when called up though, batting .306 (11-for-36) over his last 12 games with three doubles, a homer, a steal, five RBI and seven runs.

Headed for fourth-outfielder role Taylor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact Taylor had started in five of the Mets' previous six games, but he'll likely fade back into a short-side platoon role in the outfield moving forward. In addition to getting center fielder Harrison Bader (ankle) back in the lineup following a five-game absence, the Mets will have the newly acquired Jesse Winker pick up his first start with the team in right field. Brandon Nimmo, Bader and Winker will likely form the Mets' preferred outfield trio against right-handed pitching.
