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.

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.
