Taylor said to David Vassegh on Dodger Talk<\/a>. \u201cDon\u2019t pull the cord on me yet, Vassegh. No, I\u2019m still playing. I\u2019m down here in Arizona working out. Um, you know, I\u2026 I don\u2019t know where it\u2019s going to be yet, obviously with free agency being the way it is, but, um, I will be playing again this coming season.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Los](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/8ee8d91614c0c766bf177435e486cda0.jpeg\"\/)

How did Chris Taylor Play for the Angels in 2025?<\/p>\n
Taylor played just 30 games for the Angels in 2025, struggling with injury throughout the season.<\/p>\n
He fractured his hand after a pitch hit him against the Athletics, landing on the injured list in June 2025. He went back to the injured list just a month later, re-aggravating his injury shortly after his return.<\/p>\n
