Former All-Star utility player Chris Taylor, a two-time World Series champion with the Los Angeles Dodgers, retired after 12 seasons.

Taylor, 35, originally submitted his retirement paperwork Friday and then appeared to change his mind on Saturday before changing it again on Sunday.

"Clearing up any confusion, I've officially decided to retire from the game I've dedicated my entire life towards," Taylor wrote in an Instagram post on Sunday. "I'm beyond grateful to all of my coaches and teammates, and the organizations who allowed me to live out my childhood dream. I'll forever cherish the memories along the way and most of all, the friendships that will last a lifetime. Thank you to the loyal fans who have supported me through my success and stuck with me through the struggles."

Taylor sustained a fractured left forearm last Wednesday when he was hit by a pitch while playing for Triple-A Salt Lake, an affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels. He batted .255 with 15 RBIs in 32 games there this season.

Taylor played for the Dodgers from 2016-25. He made the National League All-Star team in 2021 and won World Series championships in 2020 and 2024.

Taylor was the MVP of the 2017 National League Championship Series after batting .316 with two homers and three RBIs in the Dodgers' 4-1 series victory against the Chicago Cubs.

He retires with a career batting average of .248 and a .746 OPS with 110 home runs and 443 RBIs in 1,123 games with the Seattle Mariners (2014-16), Dodgers and Angels (2025). He batted .247 in the postseason with nine homers and 26 RBIs in 80 games.

Defensively, Taylor made 448 career starts in the outfield along with 241 at shortstop, 127 at second base and 51 at third base.
