Michael A. Taylor Scratched On Saturday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Michael A. Taylor (elbow) was scratched from Saturday's contest due to right elbow inflammation. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as the severity of the injury is not clear. Wilfred Veras replaced Taylor in the lineup and covered right field. Earlier in the offseason, the White Sox signed the 33-year-old to a one-year $1.95 million contract. Last season, Taylor logged 113 contests with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Across this stint, the veteran outfielder held a .193/.253/.290 slash line with nine doubles, one home run, and 12 stolen bases. He generated a strong 11.6 percent barrel rate but held a high 35.0 percent strikeout rate. However, Taylor was graded as an elite defender as he placed in 96th percentile in range and 83rd percentile in arm strength. When healthy, Taylor should have a depth role in the Chicago outfield.
