Michael Taylor to miss 'significant amount of time' with knee/hip sprains

Michael Taylor has a sprained left knee and hip. Davey Martinez told reporters that he's going to miss "a significant amount of time."

Fantasy Impact

For most fantasy owners, this news has little impact, as Taylor was expected to be a bench player behind Victor Robles, Juan Soto, and Adam Eaton. But through an injury, Taylor often found his way into the lineup one way or another and was usually a cheap source of speed when he did. Expect the Nationals to sign another defensive outfielder, but for fantasy purposes, other than in deep NL-only leagues, Taylor's injury should have only a minimal impact.
