Rest-of-Season Projections

On bench Wednesday
Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
ANALYSIS
Taylor will take a seat after he had drawn starts in the outfield in each of the last six games, with five coming in left field. Brooks Baldwin will man left field Wednesday, but Taylor could settle in as the primary option at the position while Andrew Benintendi (adductor) is on the injured list.

The American League waiver wire is heating up as potential breakout players like Kyren Paris continue to make noise.

Todd Zola figures the two Pennsylvania clubs could boost underwhelming MLB offensive numbers by appearing seven times in the coming week.

Red Sox hitters look like strong choices this week with four home games against the Blue Jays followed by an away series at the White Sox.

Todd Zola debuts his Weekly Hitter Rankings for the season where a couple teams will be playing seven times over the next seven days.

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.
