Dodgers' Chris Taylor: Gets breather

Taylor is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Taylor's streak of nine consecutive starts will come to an end while he heads to the bench for the first time since May 29. The versatile 30-year-old has settled into a regular role at the keystone of late, but he'll cede second base to Zach McKinstry in the series finale at Pittsburgh.
