Taylor went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and a second RBI in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Marlins.

3h agoRotowire

Taylor was denied a fourth straight multi-hit effort, but he has hit safely in eight of his last nine contests. The homer was just his second of the season -- he continues to provide more speed than power. Taylor is batting .328 with an .830 OPS, 17 RBI, 25 runs scored, three doubles, two triples and 10 stolen bases over 41 games.

Taylor went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.

3d agoRotowire

Taylor has gone 10-for-37 (.270) over 12 games since he returned from an oblique injury at the end of August. He has added four steals in that span, providing a boost of speed from the lower half of the lineup. The outfielder has a career-high 10 steals on 12 attempts while batting .312 with a .770 OPS, one home run, 13 RBI, 21 runs scored, two doubles and two triples across 143 plate appearances this year.

Taylor is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Rockies on Monday.

Taylor will be on the bench for Monday's contest while Dustin Harris starts in left field and bats fifth. Taylor has gone 5-for-14 with two steals and three runs scored over his last four games and has a .775 OPS with nine steals, 11 RBI and five extra-base hits across 137 plate appearances this season.

Taylor went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 7-5 win over the Giants.

Taylor has gone 6-for-25 (.240) with two steals over eight games since he returned from an oblique injury. The outfielder is filling a short-side platoon role in left field, though he was given the start Friday against an unproven right-hander in Anthony Molina. Taylor is batting .310 with a .775 OPS, one home run, eight steals, 11 RBI, 17 runs scored, two doubles and two triples over 130 plate appearances this year.
