Making good progress Taillon is making good progress in his recovery from ankle surgery and could be part of the Yankees' rotation in April, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
Impact Taillon underwent the procedure in late October and was thought to have a chance to be ready for Opening Day. It looks as though he's still roughly on track, though it may be more likely that he returns sometime later in April.

Undergoes ankle surgery Taillon underwent ankle surgery Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Scheduled for ankle surgery Taillon will undergo ankle surgery in late October, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
Impact Taillon hit the injured list in early September with a right ankle tendon injury. He returned for a pair of brief starts at the end of the season but wasn't fully healthy. The procedure is expected to take five months to recover from, giving him an expected return date in late March. If everything goes smoothly, he could be ready for game action by Opening Day, but even a slight delay will likely send him to the injured list to open the season.

Solid in short start Taillon (ankle) allowed two hits and a walk with two strikeouts in 3.1 innings in a no-decision versus Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Impact Taillon has been bothered by this ankle injury for much of the last month, but he was able to deliver solid work across 45 pitches (27 strikes) Sunday. He ends the regular season with an 8-6 record, a 4.30 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 140:44 K:BB in 144.1 innings in his first season with the Yankees. It's unclear if the 29-year-old would be a candidate for a rotation spot in the postseason should the Yankees defeat Boston in Tuesday's AL Wild Card Game.

Gets nod Sunday Taillon (ankle) will start Sunday's season finale against the Rays, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.
Impact Taillon's status was unclear after he exited Tuesday's start early due to aggravating a prior ankle injury. However, he threw a successful bullpen session Friday and will be ready to start a pivotal final game of the regular season for the Yankees. In his first abbreviated outing since returning from a three-week absence on Sep. 28, Taillon allowed one earned run on one hit and a walk while striking out two across 2.1 frames.

Impact Taillon exited his start Tuesday against Toronto after aggravating the ankle injury which sent him to the injured list in early September. He threw off flat ground Thursday and off a mound Friday, however, so the setback doesn't seem to be a significant one.

Impact Taillon appeared to aggravate his right ankle injury in Tuesday's start against the Blue Jays, and he's slated to undergo further testing this weekend. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return in 2021, but it's encouraging that he was able to throw two days after he sustained his injury.

Impact While Boone noted that Taillon was feeling "better than expected" after aggravating a right ankle tendon injury in Tuesday's start against the Blue Jays, the skipper was unwilling to speculate whether the right-hander would pitch again in 2021. Considering Taillon missed just under three weeks the first time he succumbed to the injury, he would seem to be at major risk of missing the entire ALDS, should the Yankees clinch a wild-card spot and win in the wild-card game. Taillon had been lined up to start Sunday's regular-season finale against the Rays, but the Yankees' plans for that contest are now unclear.
