Michael Taylor News: In lineup for final career game

Taylor announced prior to Sunday's game against the Nationals that he will retire from professional baseball following the contest, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

The 34-year-old said that he decided a few months ago that 2025 would be his last season, but he waited until the final game to confirm his plans. The White Sox will include Taylor in the lineup for Sunday's contest, as he'll occupy center field and bat ninth. The veteran has played 12 years in the big leagues and enters the finale with a .199/.256/.366 slash line, nine home runs and eight stolen bases over 321 plate appearances this season.
