Mets Place Tyrone Taylor on Injured List with Hip Injury

The New York Mets placed outfielder Tyrone Taylor on the injured list with a hip injury.

The 32-year-old Taylor has appeared in 43 games this season, batting .186 with 18 hits in 97 at-bats. He has contributed 3 home runs and 14 RBIs while posting a .530 OPS across his appearances for the Mets.

The Mets currently sit at 22-33, ranking fifth in the NL East and 15 games behind the division leader. The roster composition includes 13 pitchers, 7 infielders, 3 outfielders, 2 catchers, and 1 designated hitter.

Taylor's placement on the injured list reduces the Mets' outfield depth as they continue their season amid a challenging stretch that has seen the team lose five straight games.
