Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Padres in January of 2026.
On injured list with oblique injury
The Padres placed Taylor on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right oblique strain.
Analysis
Taylor was taken out of Tuesday's game early after tweaking his oblique, and although he said before Wednesday's contest that he was day-to-day, per Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune, the Padres will ultimately place him on the IL and keep him out through the All-Star break. Luis Rengifo was selected from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move to replenish the Padres' bench depth.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Taylor began the season with Triple-A Omaha before earning his first trip to The Show in mid-June. He shuttled back and forth a few times but never was able to show he could handle major league pitching. Taylor contributed eight steals without being caught in just 31 games with the Royals, but his 31.9 percent strikeout rate and 30.0 percent HardHit% resulted in a low .270 on-base mark. However, on the farm, Taylor's combined line was .299/.416/.464 with a 20.5 percent strikeout rate and 15.9 percent walk rate. The 25-year-old's primary position is second base, but he can play third base, shortstop and left field, so he could earn a job as a utility infielder with a strong spring. Taylor isn't worthy of anything more than a reserve spot in an AL-only format, but he could emerge as a cheap source of steals in season if he can better approach the plate skills displayed on the farm.
