Taylor, 34, re-aggravated a quad injury during the fourth ODI in Dunedin on Wednesday, batting on one leg towards the end of his innings of 181 not out as the Black Caps claimed a sensational five-wicket win.
The batsman took no part in the Black Caps' training in Christchurch yesterday, as players were forced inside due to rain.
Auckland's Mark Chapman will take Taylor's place in the Black Caps' batting order.
