Being DFA'd

The Dodgers are expected to designate Taylor for assignment Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Analisi

Taylor has been in the starting lineup just six times this season and is slashing .200/.200/.257 with a 37.1 percent strikeout rate in 35 plate appearances, so it's not a major surprise to see him dropped from the 40-man roster. The veteran utility man's remaining salary -- about $9 million for 2025 plus a $4 million buyout on his 2026 option -- will likely prevent him from drawing much interest on waivers. The move would open up a spot for Tommy Edman (ankle), who's nearing a return from the 10-day injured list.
