2026 Fantasy Outlook
Taylor made his big-league debut in 2025, skipping over the Triple-A level entirely to make 36 appearances (2 starts) for the White Sox after dominating Double-A. The 23-year-old right-hander was impressive, leading White Sox relievers with a 34.5 percent K-rate, 25.0 K-BB percentage and a 1.68 Game Leverage Index. He demonstrated his high-leverage prowess, racking up two wins, six saves and nine holds for Chicago without permitting a home run. Among relief pitchers with 30-plus innings last season, Taylor had the highest BABIP (.420) and one of the highest differentials between ERA (4.67) and FIP (1.40) at 3.27. The White Sox GM said Taylor will likely work as a multi-inning reliever in 2026, which keeps him in line for potential save chances and other high-leverage work. Taylor's upside is high, but his durability issues - he's previously dealt with groin (2025) and lat (2024) injuries and underwent Tommy John surgery (2023) - make him a risky bet for 20-plus saves in 2026.

Signed a one-year contract with the White Sox in March of 2026.
Secures third save
Taylor earned the save in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Guardians, allowing no hits and one walk with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.
Analysis
Taylor was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning and did so on 17 pitches. It was a nice rebound after the 24-year-old blew a save chance Thursday, and he still owns a 2.96 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 65:15 K:BB across 45.2 innings this season despite allowing eight earned runs over his past eight appearances. He's now converted three of six save chances to go along with five holds and appears to be taking the lead for the closer role over the struggling Seranthony Dominguez.
