March 7, 2025 11:43 AM : Taylor (elbow) is starting in left field and batting eighth in Friday's Cactus League game against the Cubs.
Analysis: The veteran outfielder was sidelined nearly a week due to right elbow inflammation but is ready to retake the field for Friday's spring contest. Luis Robert is locked in as the White Sox's primary center fielder, but Taylor should still see semi-regular starts when Robert gets a breather, even as the DH or with a full day off, thanks to his elite defense.
