In actuality, Taylor could elect a minor league assignment in lieu of being released, but that seems highly unlikely.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have released veteran utility player Chris Taylor, the team announced Sunday. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers activated fellow utility player Tommy Edman from the injured list.

The Dodgers sent a message to the 34-year-old veteran with a post on their official Instagram account. "Thank you Chris for bringing two championships to LA, all the unforgettable moments on and off the field and everything you’ve done for the city of Los Angeles," the caption read.
