Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that Taylor returned to Milwaukee to receive a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right elbow and is likely to miss the first month of the season, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.
Taylor reported to camp with a right elbow sprain and hasn't made quick progress in his recovery. The 29-year-old won't be ready to resume baseball activities for at least three more weeks and will begin the season on the injured list. Taylor's absence could clear the way for non-roster invitee Tyler Naquin to win a spot on the Opening Day roster, possibly as a platoon option in the corner outfield with Brian Anderson.
