The Astros designated Taylor for assignment Monday.
Scouting Report
Owns an ideal pitcher's frame (6'2", 220 pounds) and the ability to strike batters out regularly at lower levels. Is particularly effective versus left-handed batters. Appears to have found his niche as a reliever, after spending a lot of time earlier in his developmental years as a starter. Struggles at times with his control, so he must limit the number of free passes he surrenders in order to maximize his appearances in MLB.
Long Range Potential: Situational left-hander with some upside.
