Jameson Taillon Likely to Return to Injured List After Elbow Discomfort

Jameson Taillon of the Toronto Blue Jays is likely heading back to the injured list following his exit from a game after two innings due to right elbow discomfort. He allowed one earned run during his start, which included a home run by Bobby Witt Jr.

The team announced that Taillon will undergo an MRI to assess the injury, which follows a previous stint on the injured list for right forearm tendinitis. Taillon has a history of elbow issues, having undergone Tommy John surgery twice, making this situation particularly concerning.

In 2026, Taillon has struggled, posting a 5.68 ERA in 17 starts, a significant decline from his 3.68 ERA in the previous season. Since joining the Blue Jays, he has made only three starts, with the team currently vying for a playoff spot. His absence will impact the team's rotation depth as they compete for the final AL Wild Card position.
