Taylor was hit by a pitch Sunday versus the Tigers. Willi Castro returns to the bench tonight after starting the last two days.

Taylor hasn't been placed on the injured list after being hit in the back of the head by a pitch during Sunday's game against the Tigers. It'll be Willi Castro patrolling center field on Tuesday in his absence.

No surprise here after Taylor was hit by a pitch on the back of the head during Sunday's showdown against the Tigers. He never lost consciousness and was able to walk off the field under his own power. No word yet whether he'll wind up in concussion protocol, but he's at least going to sit out Monday's game. It should be viewed as a positive sign that he hasn't been put on the injured list. He's day-to-day for the moment.

Taylor attempted to duck out of the way of an inside pitch from Tigers' right-hander Alex Lange to start the eighth inning, and it hit him flush on the back of his head, just under the bottom of his helmet. Fortunately, Taylor was able to walk off the field under his own power. He'll head for further evaluation and likely be put through the concussion protocol. The Twins should have an update on his status shortly.
