• White Sox's Grant Taylor: Transitioning to long relief

  11/13/2025 • By RotoWire

  General manager Chris Getz said Wednesday that Taylor will likely work as a multi-inning reliever in 2026, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Taylor posted a 4.91 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 36.2 innings with the White Sox in 2025, although just five of his 36 big-league appearances lasted longer than one inning. It's possible Taylor's new role may be the next step in a plan to introduce him to the rotation down the line, but for now, the 23-year-old holds minimal fantasy value since he's out of the rotation and unlikely to receive late-inning work.

• White Sox's Grant Taylor: Earns sixth save

  09/27/2025 • By RotoWire

  Taylor earned the save in Friday's 10-9 win over the Nationals, allowing one hit and no walks with two strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning. Taylor was tasked with protecting a one-run lead in the ninth inning and closed the door on 16 pitches. The 23-year-old has now strung together 10 straight scoreless outings, posting a sharp 16:3 K:BB in that span. For the season, he's recorded six saves and nine holds while carrying a 4.91 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 54:15 K:BB across 36.2 innings.

• White Sox's Grant Taylor: Secures fifth save

  09/20/2025 • By RotoWire

  Taylor struck out two in a clean inning to pick up the save in Friday's 4-3 win versus the Padres. With this 12-pitch effort, Taylor notched his first save since Aug. 10 to make a mess out of the White Sox closer situation again. Jordan Leasure (three saves) and Mike Vasil (one save) had previously tallied the other four saves for the Chicago bullpen this month. Although Taylor pitched to a 9.31 ERA, 2.17 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB in five innings across seven appearances and nursed a groin injury since his last save, he apparently still has his manager's trust. Leasure, who pitched 1.2 scoreless frames in this contest after entering in the seventh, likely remains the favorite to garner future save chances for the White Sox, but it's apparent Vasil and Taylor will still see opportunities here and there.
