Swipes first bag of year Taylor went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Phillies.
Impact Getting the start in center field and batting seventh, Taylor drew a free pass off a struggling Jordan Romano in the sixth inning and promptly got himself into scoring position with his first steal of 2025. Taylor's been a nearly everyday player for the Mets since Josi Siri (lower leg) was injured, but he hasn't done much with the opportunity, batting .235 (8-for-34) over his last 10 games with two RBI, six runs and a 1:8 BB:K.

May get everyday role sans Siri Taylor could receive the bulk of the starts in center field moving forward after Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Monday that Jose Siri was diagnosed with a fractured tibia and wil...
Impact Taylor and Siri made eight starts apiece in center through the Mets' first 16 games, with neither player performing well enough at the plate to run away with an everyday role. Though Siri's absence will clear the way for Taylor to potentially emerge as a mainstay in the lineup, the Mets have some alternatives on hand if the 31-year-old is unable to dramatically improve upon the .158/.179/.211 slash line he's supplied through his first 39 plate appearances of the season. Brandon Nimmo made 22 starts in center in 2024 and Luisangel Acuna made 31 starts in center at Triple-A Syracuse last season, though both players would likely represent defensive downgrades from Taylor. The Mets also have three veterans in Jose Azocar, Gilberto Celestino and Billy McKinney who have seen time in center at Syracuse so far in 2025, and it wouldn't be surprising if one of those three players received a call-up Tuesday in the corresponding move to Siri being placed on the injured list.

Drawing second straight start Taylor will start in center field and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Marlins.
Impact After going 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 2-0 win, Taylor will be awarded a second consecutive start. Though the Mets' center-field situation appears to be fluid, manager Carlos Mendoza seems to be prioritizing Taylor at the moment while Jose Siri has slashed .059/.200/.118 through the team's first 10 games.

Idle against right-hander again Taylor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
Impact For the second game in a row, Taylor will hit the bench while the opposition sends a right-hander to the mound. The Mets' center-field situation appears to be fluid, but for now, Jose Siri may be a slightly favored option over Taylor after Siri made an impact in his team debut Saturday in Houston by going 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored.

Idle Saturday Taylor isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.
Impact Taylor started both of the Mets' first two games in center field, but he'll give way to Jose Siri on Saturday. Both players are expected to split time in center field somewhat evenly this season, though Taylor's .700 OPS last season compared to Siri's .621 may give the former a slight edge.

Starts in center field Opening Day Taylor drew the start in center field and batted seventh in Thursday's opener versus the Astros.
Impact Taylor and Jose Siri could split reps in center field fairly evenly for the Mets, but it was Taylor getting the first crack at the position Opening Day. The 31-year-old collected a .701 OPS with seven homers and 11 steals across 130 regular-season contests for the Mets last season.

Looks healthy for camp Taylor (elbow/hernia) took part in Wednesday's full-squad workout, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Taylor appears to be back to full health for spring training after he underwent an umbilical hernia repair Oct. 30 as well as surgery to remove a loose body from his right elbow Nov. 7. Both procedures carried recovery timelines of roughly two months, so Taylor was presumably able to resume working out without restrictions in January before he reported to camp. Taylor is a candidate to open the season as the Mets' starting center fielder, though Jose Siri and Starling Marte will likely push him for playing time in what could end up being a timeshare at the position.
FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE
Avoids arbitration The Mets and Taylor (abdomen, elbow) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Thursday.
Impact Taylor had been eligible for salary arbitration for the second time. The outfielder had hernia surgery and surgery to remove a loose body from his elbow earlier this offseason but is expected to be ready in time for Opening Day. He's tentatively penciled in as the Mets' fourth outfielder.
