The Dodgers put outfielder Chris Taylor on the injured list, retroactive to Thursday, with a bone bruise in his right knee.
Facing a potential 3-0 series deficit in the NLCS, the World Series-champion Dodgers received the boost they needed in the eighth inning Tuesday, when Cody Bellinger's three-run homer tied the score in a Game 3 that Los Angeles would go on to win.
Chris Taylor interrupted his sprint just before reaching the halfway point between second and third base and was tagged out after a brief rundown, ending the half-inning and thwarting one of few chances the Dodgers had to tack on runs in Game 1.
Chris Taylor and Cody Bellinger were unlikely heroes as the Dodgers walked off with an NL wild-card win against the Cardinals on Wednesday night and advanced to face the Giants in the NLDS.
Los Angeles Angels two-way sensation Shohei Ohtani achieved a first in the near century history of baseball's All-Star Game: selection as both a position player and a pitcher.
Chris Taylor and the Dodgers have agreed to a two-year, $13.4 million contract, avoiding arbitration.
