Los Angeles Dodgers OF Chris Taylor out with left foot fracture
Los Angeles Dodgers versatile outfielder Chris Taylor has a left foot fracture and will be sidelined indefinitely, he told reporters on Tuesday.
Taylor exited Monday's win over the Colorado Rockies in the fifth inning with a swollen ankle and a CT scan revealed the fracture. Taylor described the injury as a «small fracture» but said he was unsure how long he will be out.
«We really haven't even gotten to that point where we discussed a time frame yet,» Taylor told Spectrum SportsNet LA. «Right now we're taking it step by step and I don't think we've put an exact date on when a possible return will be.»
Taylor, 31, is slashing .238/.319/.409 with six home runs and 27 RBIs this season. He signed a four-year contract worth $60 million to return to the Dodgers this past offseason.
The Dodgers entered Tuesday night with a five-game lead over the San Diego Padres in the National League West.
