The Los Angeles Angels have placed Chris Taylor on the 10-day injured list after he sustained a broken left hand from a pitch during a game against the Athletics. Taylor, who was showing signs of improvement at the plate, had hit .200 with a home run and three RBIs since joining the Angels. The injury is notably similar to one that sidelined Mookie Betts for almost two months last season, reflecting Taylor's ongoing struggles with injuries, including a neck issue last year. Manager Ron Washington emphasized that the team needs the next player to step up in Taylor's absence.
