Dodgers Injury Update: Dave Roberts Optimistic With Chris Taylor
Jeff Curry/USA TODAY SportsChris Taylor has been playing through a pinched nerve for the last several weeks but the Los Angeles Dodgers believe they will be able to manage it well enough to keep him active for the rest of the season.
Including the series finale against the Colorado Rockies, Taylor has not started nine of the team’s last 11 games. He sat out five consecutive games beginning on Sept. 11 before he was able to pinch-hit last Friday.
Taylor was back in the lineup the following day but re-aggravated his neck issue. “It started that last game in Cincinnati and sort of regressed,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
