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.

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.
