Mets' Tyrone Taylor: Back on bench Wednesday
Tyrone Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.Taylor had started in center field over Harrison Bader in both of the New York Mets' last two matchups with right-handed pitchers, but Bader is manning center field for the second time in the series while New York faces off against a lefty (Cole Irvin).

Mets' Tyrone Taylor: Drives in three Sunday
Tyrone Taylor went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Monday's win over the Cardinals.The veteran outfielder slapped a bases-loaded double down the right-field line in the fifth inning, giving the New York Mets some insurance runs in a 6-0 victory. Taylor got a rare start in right field against right-hander Andre Pallante with Jesse Winker getting a breather and Jeff McNeil needed at second base, but he's mostly fallen into a short-side platoon role since Winker was acquired. Taylor's been productive of late when called on though, batting .306 (11-for-36) over his last 12 games with three doubles, a homer, a steal, five RBI and seven runs.

Mets' Tyrone Taylor: Headed for fourth-outfielder role
Tyrone Taylor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.Taylor had started in five of the New York Mets' previous six games, but he'll likely fade back into a short-side platoon role in the outfield moving forward. In addition to getting center fielder Harrison Bader (ankle) back in the lineup following a five-game absence, the Mets will have the newly acquired Jesse Winker pick up his first start with the team in right field. Brandon Nimmo, Bader and Winker will likely form the Mets' preferred outfield trio against right-handed pitching.
