by Ron Cervenka For fans of soon-to-be (on August 29) 34-year-old Dodgers utility infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor, Thursday was a good day.
For fans of just-turned (on August 9) 35-year-old Dodgers outfielder Jason Heyward, who slugged a game-winning three-run home run just three days ago, not so much.

In his thus far 189 plate appearances this season, Taylor is 27-for-162 (.167), with three home runs, 15 RBI, and 62 strikeouts.
In his 197 plate appearances this season, Heyward was 36-for-173 (.208), with six home runs, 28 RBI, and 36 strikeouts.
Taylor returns from the 10-day Injured List for what was called “a left groin strain” but was probably more just to give the Virginia Beach, VA native a break rather than DFA-ing him.
Did Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman fire the right guy?
Stay tuned…
Play Ball!
