ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels signed Chris Taylor to a one-year contract on Monday, keeping the veteran utilityman in Southern California after he was cut by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Taylor hit .200 (7 for 35) in 28 games for the Dodgers before he was released by the World Series champions on May 18.
Taylor, who turns 35 in August, takes the roster spot of Kyren Paris, who was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake after Sunday's 3-0 loss to Miami.
Taylor's contract with the Angels is worth $518,925, a prorated share of the $760,000 major league minimum.
