A pitch caught him in the hand after just 10 games and a fracture sent him to the injured list, and he reaggravated the injury just five games after his return. He played a total of 30 games for the Angels after leaving the Dodgers, posting a .599 OPS.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The veteran will look to have a healthier, more successful 2026 season after his disappointing campaign last year.<\/p>\n The post Chris Taylor Addresses Future After Splitting Season With Dodgers, Angels<\/a> appeared first on LA Sports Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Los Angeles Dodgers utilityman Chris Taylor with the team in 2025.
