Rest-of-Season Projections

Gaining traction in everyday lineup
Taylor will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Taylor had already started six straight games, but he should have a longer leash in the lineup after Luis Robert (hamstring) was placed on the injured list Sunday. The White Sox are likely to call up another outfielder to help fill in for Robert prior to Tuesday's game against the Dodgers. Taylor has been reasonably productive when called upon in June, slashing .255/.340/.447 with two home runs, one stolen base, eight runs and seven RBI in 22 games.

Taylor had one of the best seasons of his career last year in Minnesota as he got significant playing time in center field with Byron Buxton limited to DH. He hit .220/.278/.442 with a career-high 21 home runs while adding 51 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 388 plate appearances. His power, however, came with a 33.5% strikeout rate and career-low 63.4% contact rate. Even though he'll turn 33 this season he still offers a premium glove in center field. He'll get regular duty in center field again after signing with the Pirates.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Minnesota pursuing reunion
The Twins would "love" to re-sign Taylor, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor played Gold Glove-caliber defense in center field and slugged a career-high 21 home runs over 388 plate appearances for Minnesota in 2023, so it's not a surprise the team wants him back. However, with the Twins planning to re-install Byron Buxton in center field in 2024, Taylor would be looking at a short-side corner outfield platoon role and a center field insurance option. The 32-year-old might be able to find a better playing time situation elsewhere.
