Overview
- Major League Baseball’s MiLB transaction log listed Taylor as retired on Friday before he changed his decision within 24 hours.
- Hours after the Friday transaction, MLB.com reporter Rhett Bollinger said Taylor was placed on the Minor League injured list with a fractured left forearm sustained when he was hit by a pitch in a Triple‑A Salt Lake game.
- Several outlets noted a timing discrepancy because MiLB’s public transaction page showed the retirement and had not reflected the reported injured‑list placement as of Saturday evening.
- Taylor is a 12‑season veteran best known for his decade with the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he earned a 2021 All‑Star nod, shared the 2017 NLCS MVP, and won two World Series titles.
- The reversal appears tied to his injury and a desire to rehab with the Angels’ Triple‑A club rather than end his career immediately, leaving open a possible comeback if he recovers.
