Availability
The Angels re-signed utility man Chris Taylor to a minor league contract.
Fantasy Impact
Taylor previously opted out of his minor league contract after not making the Angels Opening Day roster. He returns after likely not finding another opportunity.
Veteran utilityman Chris Taylor has re-signed with the Los Angeles Angels. It's unclear whether the deal is a major league contract or a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training.
Fantasy Impact
Taylor, a 12-year veteran at the major league level, struggled last season between the Dodgers and Angels. He slashed just .186/.256/.301 with a pair of home runs in 125 combined plate appearances. Taylor was a fairly productive hitter for the Dodgers between 2017-23, belting 103 of his 110 career home runs over the seven-year span. He also earned his only All-Star nod in 2021. Taylor, who can play second base or anywhere in the outfield, is a lifetime .248 hitter in 3,909 career plate appearances. There isn't a great path to regular at bats for Taylor in Los Angeles so, he'll likely be competing for a bench role with the Angels during camp.
The Angels activated INF/OF Chris Taylor from the 10-day injured list.
Fantasy Impact
Taylor missed more than the past month with a fractured left hand. He should return to his utility role.

Fantasy Impact
Sidelined since July 26 with a left hand fracture, Taylor's recovery is progressing faster than anticipated. He has already begun baseball activities and will likely complete a rehab assignment to test the hand in a game environment before rejoining the Angels.
