Nationals drop Michael Taylor to bottom of the order
Washington Nationals outfielder Michael Taylor is starting in center field and batting ninth against the Oakland Athletics in Sunday's game.
What It Means:
Taylor has gotten a chance to start nearly every day with Adam Eaton (knee) out for the season, but lately he's gotten a bit rocky in his production. From May 9th to the 31st, he raised his batting average by 44 points, but his last three games have produced an uneven 3-for-12 (.250) -- those three being extra-base hits.
Taylor has a .263/.306/.453 season slash line with 5 home runs, 18 runs, 16 RBI's, and 3 stolen bases in 147 plate appearances.
