Taylor should have a decent shot at winning an Opening Day roster spot, but in a bench role. The 35-year-old veteran right-handed hitter will give the Halos the flexibility to play all over the diamond, but he doesn&#8217;t appear to have much left in the tank after hitting a combined .186\/.256\/.301 with a career-worst .557 OPS, two home runs, 12 RBI, five walks, and 42 strikeouts in 125 plate appearances over 58 games with the Angels and Los Angeles Dodgers last year. Taylor hit .179 with two home runs and 10 RBI in 90 plate appearances in Anaheim in 2025. He has a career 29.3% strikeout rate and will be well off the fantasy radar in mixed leagues in 2026.&#8211;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/author\/keithghernandezgmail-com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Keith Hernandez<\/a><br \/>Source: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RhettBollinger\/status\/2022337392527716706\" rel=\"nofollow\">MLB.com &#8211; Rhett Bollinger<\/a>                <\/p>\n<p>        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chris Taylor Returns to Angels on Minor-League Deal Share: Link copied to clipboard!
