Taylor announced his retirement from baseball via his personal Instagram account Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Reports surfaced Friday that Taylor had decided to retire, but that was followed by reports Saturday that the veteran utility man reversed his decision. Taylor was subsequently placed on the 7-day IL by Triple-A Salt Lake due to a left forearm fracture. It now appears that Taylor has officially settled on hanging up his cleats. He played parts of 12-big league seasons, with his most productive campaigns coming as a member of the Dodgers. Taylor will conclude his career with a .248/.327/.746 slash line, 110 home runs, 443 RBI and 91 stolen bases over 1,123 regular-season games.

Taylor has reversed his retirement decision and was placed on the injured list at Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday with a left forearm fracture, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

One day after his retirement, Taylor has reversed course, though he will be out indefinitely with the forearm injury and it remains to be seen if he will ever actually play again professionally. The 35-year-old made an All-Star team in 2021 and won two World Series rings with the Dodgers, but he has been stuck in neutral at Salt Lake this season, slashing .255/.382/.321 without a home run over 132 plate appearances.

Taylor retired from professional baseball Friday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor has been playing at Triple-A Salt Lake this year, but after slashing .255/.382/.321 through 32 games in the minors, he's officially decided it's time to hang up his cleats. The 35-year-old spent 12 seasons in the majors with the Mariners, Dodgers and Angels. He was named an All-Star in 2021 and won the World Series twice with the Dodgers in 2020 and 2024.

Taylor signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor was with the Angels for spring training but was unsuccessful in making the team's Opening Day roster. He initially opted out of his contract March 20, but the veteran outfielder will return to the organization and likely play for Triple-A Salt Lake. Taylor appeared in 58 regular-season games between the Angels and Dodgers in 2025 and would be in line for a major-league call-up if the Angels require additional depth in the outfield.

Taylor opted out of his contract with the Angels on Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor signed an NRI deal with the Halos in February, but after being informed he wouldn't make the big-league roster, he opted out of the deal. The veteran utility player will hit the open market once again, where he should generate some interest. Taylor went 9-for-39 (.231) with one home run and a 10:11 BB:K during spring training.

Taylor signed a contract with the Angels on Thursday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

No details of the deal are currently known, but presumably it's a short-term contract that gives Taylor a good chance of starting the campaign on the big-league roster. He ended the 2025 season with the Angels and hit .179 with two homers and 10 RBI across only 90 plate appearances with the club. Taylor will likely be in a reserve role, but he could get several starts per week due to his ability to play all three outfield spots as well as second and third base.

Taylor went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in a 12-2 win over the Twins on Tuesday

EDGE Analysis

The veteran utility man racked up a season-high four RBI in only his second multi-RBI effort of the year. Despite Tuesday's outburst, Taylor should remain well off the majority of fantasy radars as 2025 inches toward an end. On the campaign, he's slashing a woeful .198/277/.341 with two homers, 10 RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases through 101 trips to the plate.

The Angels activated Taylor (hand) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor was shelved for a little more than a month with a fractured left hand but is ready to go following a brief rehab assignment. He's slashing just .189/.286/.378 through 15 games during his time with the Halos and is likely to be used mostly in a reserve role.

Taylor (hand) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor has been given the green light to play in minor-league games just a month after landing on the injured list with a fractured left hand. However, there's currently no telling how many rehab games the 34-year-old will need to play in before he's ready to rejoin the Halos' active roster. He may also work in a diminished role once healthy after slashing just .189/.286/.378 through 15 games after joining the Angels in late May.

The Angels placed Taylor on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left hand fracture.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor spent more than a month on the injured list with a fractured left hand before returning Monday, but a similar injury will put him right back on the IL five days later. Scott Kingery is up from Triple-A Salt Lake and will replace Taylor as the Angels' bench utility man.
