Josh Taylor News
Kansas City Royals reliever Josh Taylor (back) was listed among the team's available pitchers prior to Saturday's Spring Training game. He ultimately entered the game and pitched one inning, allowing two hits but escaping after just five total pitches. All of this is a good sign for the Royals and their left-handed hurler after he underwent season-ending lower back surgery last summer. Taylor struggled to the tune of an 8.15 ERA through limited action last year, but he has a fresh slate now that he's fully healthy heading into 2024.
Kansas City Royals left-hander Josh Taylor (shoulder, back) will have surgery on Wednesday to repair a herniated disk in his lower back, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com. The 30-year-old hasn't appeared in a big league game since May 27 after suffering a shoulder injury but experienced the back issue during his rehab. There's no timeline right now for Taylor's recovery. Before going on the shelf, the fourth-year player posted an 8.15 ERA, 1.75 WHIP, and 31.3% strikeout rate with no saves or holds over 17.2 innings of work. If fantasy managers haven't dropped Taylor already, they should now.
The Boston Red Sox and left-hander Josh Taylor avoided salary arbitration Thursday by agreeing to a one-year, $1.025 million deal, according to a source. Ryan Brasier, Abraham Almonte, Nick Pivetta, Alex Verdugo, Rob Refsnyder, Christian Arroyo and Reese McGuire remain arbitration-eligible. The 29-year-old Taylor didn't pitch at all last season due to a back injury, but the Red Sox are hoping he'll return in 2023 and be as effective as he was in 2021, when he posted a 3.40 ERA (2.83 FIP), 1.43 WHIP, one save and 28.7 percent strikeout rate in 47 2/3 relief innings in his third major-league season with Boston. Taylor won't carry any fantasy relevance.
