The 34-year-old allowed one run on two hits before exiting.

Story summary

Jameson Taillon, a pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, left his start against the Kansas City Royals after two innings due to *right elbow discomfort*. This comes just one day after he made his first appearance since being placed on the injured list with right forearm tendinitis. The team has now put him back on the IL, this time with right elbow inflammation, and will seek a second opinion on the results of an MRI. Taillon had been acquired by the Blue Jays from the Chicago Cubs in August. His departure is a setback for the team, which was just one game behind the Cleveland Guardians for the final wild-card spot in the American League.
