JAMESON TAILLON NEWS

Aggravates ankle injury Taillon was removed during the third inning of Tuesday's start against the Blue Jays after appearing to aggravate his right ankle injury, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Impact Taillon was sidelined the past three weeks with a right ankle tendon injury before being activated for Tuesday's outing, and he appeared to aggravate the injury and exited with an athletic trainer after recording only seven outs. He allowed one run on one hit with two strikeouts and a walk before leaving the game, and he won't factor in the decision. More importantly, the right-hander's availability is now up in the air for the final turn through the rotation as well as a potential postseason run.

Activated ahead of start The Yankees reinstated Taillon (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Impact The transaction was made in advance of Taillon's scheduled start in Tuesday's series opener in Toronto. Sidelined since Sept. 9 with the right ankle tendon injury, Taillon built up to three innings during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, giving up two runs while striking out two in his lone start for the affiliate. He'll likely face a light cap with his pitch count Tuesday, the first of what's expected to be two outings this week for the right-hander. Taillon tentatively lines up to start Sunday's regular-season finale with the Rays in New York.

Lined up for Tuesday's start Taillon (ankle) is lined up to start Tuesday's game against Toronto, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Taillon has missed just shy of three weeks with an ankle issue. If he does wind up returning Tuesday as expected, he'd have the possibility of a two-start week to end the season, as he'd be on turn to start Sunday's season finale against the Rays.

Impact Taillon is currently on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and allowed two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out two in three innings Wednesday.

Eyeing Wednesday rehab outing Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Taillon (ankle) will likely begin a minor-league rehab assignment Wednesday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Impact Taillon will presumably report to either Double-A Somerset or Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for what should be only one rehab start before he rejoins the big club. The right-hander has been on the shelf for just two weeks with the right ankle tendon sprain, so the one start should be all he needs to fully ramp up. Due to off days this Thursday and next Monday, the Yankees will be able to get by with a four-man rotation until Oct. 2, though Taillon could be added to the mix a few days before then, if desired.

Nearing rehab assignment Taillon (ankle) could make a minor-league rehab start during the coming week, Max Goodman of SI.com reports.

Impact Taillon tossed a bullpen session Saturday, and his next step is expected to be a short rehab start within the next several days. If that goes well, the right-hander could subsequently return to the Yankees rotation, per Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record. Taillon's last big-league appearance was Sept. 6 against Toronto, when he gave up three runs in seven innings and suffered the loss.

Feels good after throwing session Taillon (ankle) felt good after Wednesday's bullpen session, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

Impact Taillon's throwing session Wednesday marked the first time he had thrown off a mound since he landed on the injured list in early September. The right-hander doesn't yet have a timetable to return to game action, but he's expected to throw another bullpen session Saturday. Taillon is eligible to return to the major-league roster as early as Friday, but he'll require some additional time to build up before he's activated.

Gets back on mound Taillon (ankle) completed a bullpen session Wednesday, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact After playing catch Monday without any discomfort in his right ankle, Taillon was cleared to take the next step forward in his recovery from the injury by getting back on a mound. The Yankees will presumably re-evaluate Taillon on Thursday before determining whether he's ready to rejoin the rotation this weekend versus Cleveland, or if he'll need to first ramp back up with a simulated game or minor-league rehab assignment. Once Taillon is ready to go, he'll likely bump Luis Gil from New York's rotation.

Resumes throwing Taillon (ankle) was spotted throwing on the field Monday prior to the Yankees' make-up game against the Twins, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Taillon's presence on the field to begin the week suggests he responded well to the platelet-rich plasma injection he recently received in his right ankle, but he'll still need to get back on a mound and complete a bullpen session before the Yankees pinpoint a target date for his return from the 10-day injured list. With Taillon on the shelf, rookie Luis Gil will stick in the New York rotation for the time being and pick up his fifth start with the big club Monday.
