Summary

Blue Jays pitcher Jameson Taillon left a game against the Royals on Friday night after two innings due to right elbow discomfort, his second injury in recent weeks. The 34-year-old allowed one run on two hits before exiting. Manager John Schneider said Taillon is likely headed back to the injured list, but wants to wait for the results of an MRI scheduled for that evening. Taillon had been making progress after being sidelined with right forearm tendinitis since August 10.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
