Brewers' Tyrone Taylor: Back on IL with elbow sprain
Rotowire
Taylor was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right elbow sprain.
The move back to the IL is an ominous development for Taylor, who missed the opening month of the 2023 campaign with the same diagnosis of a sprain in his right elbow. There's no timetable on this latest setback, but it will likely be more than just a 10-day absence. Blake Perkins is joining the Brewers as outfield depth ahead of Saturday's game in Cincinnati.

Brewers' Tyrone Taylor: May regain regular role
Rotowire
Taylor will start in right field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Giants.
Taylor is included in the starting nine for the third consecutive game, and he looks like he'll be the primary beneficiary from a playing-time standpoint of Willy Adames going on the 7-day injured list Saturday. With Adames out of the mix, Brice Turang has taken over as the Brewers' everyday shortstop, while Brian Anderson has moved back to the infield to open up a spot in the corner outfield for Taylor.

Brewers' Tyrone Taylor: Activated from injured list
Rotowire
Taylor (elbow) was activated Tuesday from the 10-day injured list, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. He is starting in right field and batting eighth in his season debut Tuesday against the Rockies.
Taylor missed the opening month of the 2023 campaign while recovering from a right elbow sprain, but he's ready to rock now following a five-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville during which he posted an .828 OPS across 23 plate appearances. The 29-year-old should be something close to a regular presence in the Brewers' outfield moving forward and can offer useful power and speed production in deeper fantasy formats.

Brewers' Tyrone Taylor: Should return this week
Rotowire
Taylor (elbow) could be activated from the 10-day injured list during the Brewers' upcoming road trip, which runs Tuesday through next Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The 29-year-old has played in three games on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville, and he may not need much more action in the minors before joining the big club. Taylor has been on the shelf for the first month of the season with a sprained elbow, but he should see regular playing time in right field once activated, especially with Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) facing an extended absence.

Brewers' Tyrone Taylor: Nearing rehab assignment
Rotowire
Taylor (elbow) is on track to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville next Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Taylor has been playing in extended spring training games and is almost ready to test his sprained right elbow out in a live game setting. With Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) landing on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Taylor could have a path to a semi-regular role in the outfield if he beats Mitchell back from the shelf.

Brewers' Tyrone Taylor: Aiming for mid-May
Rotowire
Taylor (elbow) said Monday that he's hoping to be ready to join the Brewers by mid-May, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Taylor suffered a right elbow sprain just before reporting to camp in February and has not progressed as quickly as hoped, though he was recently cleared to begin a throwing program. The 29-year-old had been in line for regular starts in right field to open the 2023 campaign. Brian Anderson will probably now fill that role for Milwaukee the first several weeks of the regular season.

Brewers' Tyrone Taylor: Progressing ahead of schedule
Rotowire
Taylor (elbow) has progressed to doing on-field work, including hitting, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Brewers manager Craig Counsell indicated Wednesday that Taylor might even be a little ahead of his mid-May timetable at this point. The 29-year-old is projected to receive most of the playing time in right field for the Brewers once he makes it back from his elbow injury.
Brewers' Tyrone Taylor: Likely to miss first month
Rotowire
Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that Taylor returned to Milwaukee to receive a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right elbow and is likely to miss the first month of the season, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.
Taylor reported to camp with a right elbow sprain and hasn't made quick progress in his recovery. The 29-year-old won't be ready to resume baseball activities for at least three more weeks and will begin the season on the injured list. Taylor's absence could clear the way for non-roster invitee Tyler Naquin to win a spot on the Opening Day roster, possibly as a platoon option in the corner outfield with Brian Anderson.

Brewers' Tyrone Taylor: Could miss start of season
Rotowire
Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that Taylor (elbow) is in jeopardy of missing the start of the regular season, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Taylor was diagnosed with a right elbow sprain earlier this month and hasn't progressed as quickly as hoped. He had been penciled in as the Opening Day right fielder for Milwaukee. Maybe that job now falls to non-roster invitee Tyler Naquin. Brian Anderson could also get looks in right, and the Brewers do have a number of highly-touted outfield prospects.
