Taillon was pulled after two innings in his return start, with the Blue Jays announcing right elbow discomfort as the cause. An MRI was scheduled for that evening, and a beat reporter confirmed IL placement is expected the following day. The injury is particularly notable given Taillon's history of two Tommy John surgeries, though he told his manager it felt more like a nerve issue than ligament damage. He had only just returned from a three-week IL stint for right forearm tendinitis.
