Chris Taylor

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.
