Quick Summary

Right-hander Jameson Taillon of the Toronto Blue Jays was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation just a day after returning from an earlier injury, specifically forearm tendinitis. The team is seeking a second opinion on imaging results and has not ruled out Taillon for the season. This marks his second trip to the IL this year, following a stint of just three games pitched since being acquired by Toronto in late August. Taillon had been making a comeback after missing time with forearm tendinitis, but was pulled from his outing against the Kansas City Royals after two innings.
