Michael A. Taylor contributed significantly in the Pirates' tight 10-9 win over the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
Taylor went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and two RBI. This performance, which included his first homer of the season, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers who might have been discouraged by his modest .234 batting average and high strikeout rate (38 strikeouts in 94 at-bats). While his overall season stats don't scream 'must-start,' games like this show that Taylor can provide value in deeper leagues or as a streaming option when the matchup is right. His power-speed combination, albeit limited, should keep him on the radar in formats that reward home runs and stolen bases.
