Goes deep in three-hit game Taylor went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Yankees.

Impact Taylor provided a surprise spark from the bottom of the lineup, going yard in the third inning and adding an RBI single in the sixth. The outfielder has hit modestly in July, going 11-for-45 (.244) with six extra-base hits over 15 contests this month. For the season, he's at a .233/.274/.401 slash line with six homers, 25 RBI, 30 runs scored, six stolen bases, 10 doubles and three triples across 216 plate appearances. Taylor may see a short-term uptick in playing time while Harrison Bader recovers from a rolled ankle he sustained Tuesday.

Sitting in second straight game Taylor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Though he appeared to have a firm grasp on an everyday role in right field following Starling Marte's placement on the injured list June 25, Taylor will now sit for the second day in a row after he had started in nine of the preceding 11 contests. Jeff McNeil will get the nod in right field Monday in place of Taylor, who is slashing just .162/.225/.459 since Marte landed on the shelf.

Taking seat Sunday Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Taylor has been operating as the Mets' primary right fielder since Starling Marte (knee) landed on the injured list June 25, but he'll exit the starting nine Sunday to clear a spot for DJ Stewart. Thus far during Marte's absence, Taylor is hitting just .162 over 10 games, but five of his six hits during that stretch have gone for extra bases (three home runs, two doubles).

Starting against right-hander again Taylor will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Impact The right-handed hitting Taylor has started each of the Mets' first two games in right field since Starling Marte (knee) landed on the 10-day injured list even as the opposition has sent a righty to the bump both times. DJ Stewart will also be in the right field mix while Marte is shelved, but Taylor looks to be the preferred option out there.

Gets start against righty Taylor went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Yankees.

Impact With Starling Marte (knee) landing on the injured list, Taylor and DJ Stewart are expected to split reps in right field. Instead of using a strict platoon, however, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza elected to deploy the right-handed Taylor against Gerrit Cole on Tuesday, perhaps prioritizing Taylor's superior defense. The 30-year-old is making a case for a bigger role with his bat as well, batting .273 (9-for-33) in June with three doubles, a triple, an RBI and five runs.

Gets fifth consecutive start Taylor will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Reds, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Taylor will draw his fifth straight start Sunday, but he still doesn't look as though he'll be in store for a regular role with the Mets. Before Sunday, each of his prior three starts came while Brandon Nimmo was limited to designated-hitter duties or held out of the lineup as he managed a hamstring issue, but Nimmo is back in left field for the series finale in Cincinnati. The righty-hitting Taylor will stick in the lineup versus southpaw Andrew Abbott on Sunday while Starling Marte gets a day out of the field and occupies the DH spot, but Taylor's opportunities against right-handed pitching are still likely to be limited now that Nimmo is healthy again.

Swipes first bag of 2024 Taylor went 2-for-8 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base across both games of Thursday's doubleheader split with the Tigers.

Impact The 30-year-old wound up starting both ends of the twin bill, getting the nod in center field and batting eighth in the matinee before shifting to left field and hitting sixth in the nightcap. There were right-handers on the mound in both games for Detroit, which is an encouraging sign Taylor won't be limited to a short-side platoon role this season as the top outfielder off the bench for the Mets. Through four appearances to begin the 2024 campaign he's batting .214 (3-for-14) and is still looking for his first extra-base hit.

Playing right field in Game 1 Taylor is starting in right field and batting ninth Tuesday in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Garrett Mitchell is not on the Brewers' active roster for this best-of-three series versus Arizona, so Sal Frelick will cover center field as Taylor patrols right. Taylor missed some time down the stretch with a hamstring injury, but he ultimately registered a strong .912 OPS across his final 82 plate appearances dating back to the beginning of September.
