Taylor will hit free agency after the 2026 season. The 31-year-old posted an ugly .598 OPS in 2025, but still provides value because of his defensive ability.

Taylor returns to New York’s outfield mix after missing three and a half weeks recovering from a left hamstring strain. The 31-year-old’s experience as a pinch-hitting option likely was the reason they’re keeping him over fellow veteran outfielder Jose Siri for the home stretch and a possible playoff run.

Taylor will get some extra time off to rest and recover, which frees up the Mets to bring in a healthy bench player in Jared Young while he’s sidelined. It figures to be a relatively short stint on the shelf for the 31-year-old outfielder, but that’s not a lock. There should be a clearer timetable for his return at some point in the coming days, but he should be back by mid-September.

Taylor seemed to be coming for Cedric Mullins’ job last week, but he didn’t play Saturday or Sunday and this was obviously why. He’s apparently doing better now, so there are no plans to put him on the IL. Mullins is starting in center field for a third straight game today.

Taylor barely played during the first three weeks after Cedric Mullins was acquired at the trade deadline, but he got some extra time last week with Brandon Nimmo down, and given another chance to start tonight over Mullins against a left-hander, he had one of his best showings of the year, with his one out being a 103-mph liner to center with a .610 xBA. He still figures to play mostly against lefties going forward, but he should be in there again Tuesday with Jesús Luzardo on the mound for the Phillies.

Taylor also made a terrific catch on Austin Riley’s fly to deep center that ended the game in the Braves’ favor the 10th. Most wouldn’t have even bothered, since it was due to be a game-winning sac fly regardless, but Taylor made a great effort to run it down just in case Luke Williams, who was on third, assumed the ball would drop and declined to tag up. The homer off Spencer Schwellenbach was just Taylor’s second in 212 plate appearances this season.

Somewhat surprisingly, that’s already the third triple of the season for Taylor. Even with the pair of extra-base hits he’s still slashing .258/.303/.398, but a double and triple is always fun.

Taylor gave the Mets life with his ninth inning home run and continues to play a tremendous defense in center field for them. Despite a poor .592 OPS on the season, he has a hit in his last three games and has started 14 of the 17 games since Jose Siri went on the injured list. The Mets have been trying Jeff McNeil in center field a bit to keep Luisangel Acuña in the lineup more often, but it’s clear that they’re sacrificing defense if so. Taylor steals enough bases with regular playing time to be borderline viable in very deep leagues.
