Christopher Taylor: Breaking News

Taylor announced his retirement from baseball via his personal Instagram account Sunday. Reports surfaced Friday that Taylor had decided to retire, but that was followed by reports Sunday that the veteran utility man reversed his decision. Taylor was subsequently placed on the 7-day IL by Triple-A Salt Lake due to a left forearm fracture. It now appears that Taylor has officially settled on hanging up his cleats. He played parts of 12-big league seasons, with his most productive campaigns coming as a member of the Dodgers. Taylor will conclude his career with a .248/.327/.746 slash line, 110 home runs, 443 RBI and 91 stolen bases over 1,123 regular-season games.

Taylor has reversed his retirement decision and was placed on the injured list at Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday with a left forearm fracture, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. One day after his retirement, Taylor has reversed course, though he will be out indefinitely with the forearm injury and it remains to be seen if he will ever actually play again professionally. The 35-year-old made an All-Star team in 2021 and won two World Series rings with the Dodgers, but he has been stuck in neutral at Salt Lake this season, slashing .255/.382/.321 without a home run over 132 plate appearances.

Taylor retired from professional baseball Friday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports. Taylor has been playing at Triple-A Salt Lake this year, but after slashing .255/.382/.321 through 32 games in the minors, he's officially decided it's time to hang up his cleats. The 35-year-old spent 12 seasons in the majors with the Mariners, Dodgers and Angels. He was named an All-Star in 2021 and won the World Series twice with the Dodgers in 2020 and 2024.
