Chris Taylor could see time in outfield soon
Allan Henry-USA TODAY SportsLOS ANGELES — Dodgers utility man Chris Taylor could see time in the outfield soon, manager Dave Roberts said on Tuesday.
Taylor has played exclusively infield in his major league career, but played some games in the outfield during spring training, trying to increase his versatility and chances of making the opening day roster.
He wasn’t quite ready yet out of spring training, but did play three games in center field with Triple-A Oklahoma City, and took fly balls in left field before Tuesday’s game against the Cardinals. Roberts said Taylor has been getting extra practice recently in all three outfield positions.
