JAMESON TAILLON NEWS

Yankees put Jameson Taillon on IL with partial ankle tendon tear; Gerrit Cole progresses to throwing off flat ground Just minutes after what seemed like good news for the Yankees, another blow came down.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • MCALL.COM

Placed on 10-day injured list Taillon was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right ankle tendon injury Thursday, retroactive to Sept. 7.

Impact Taillon posted a quality start in Monday's loss to the Blue Jays, as he allowed three runs in seven innings, but he apparently sustained an ankle injury. The severity of the issue isn't yet clear, but he received a PRP injection to help him recover, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. The Yankees haven't yet announced who will take his place in the rotation, but right-hander Sal Romano's contract was selected Thursday.

Hit with loss in quality start Taillon (8-6) took the loss in Monday's 8-0 rout at the hands of the Blue Jays, giving up three runs on three hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out five.

Impact The right-hander didn't pitch too badly in delivering his eighth quality start of the year, tossing 62 of 94 pitches for strikes, but two of the three hits off Taillon left the yard and the Yankees' offense left him high and dry. He'll take a 4.41 ERA and 136:42 K:BB through 138.2 innings into his next outing.

Roughed up by Angels Taillon (8-5) allowed six earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six across 4.2 innings, taking the loss to the Angels on Tuesday.

Impact Taillon started off with three scoreless innings but surrendered three runs in each of the fourth and fifth frames. He allowed a three-run homer to Jared Walsh to open up the scoring. Taillon has struggled lately, failing to record a quality outing over his past four starts. The 29-year-old's ERA and WHIP have climbed to 4.44 and 1.24, respectively. He has recorded 131 strikeouts in 131.2 innings this season.

Can't escape fourth inning Taillon took a no-decision in Thursday's 7-6 win against Oakland, allowing five runs on four hits and three walks with four strikeouts in 3.2 innings.

Impact After being staked to an early 6-0 lead and retiring the Athletics' first six batters, Taillon served up back-to-back homers to lead off the third and allowed three more runs in the fourth before being removed. This was the righty's shortest start since June 18 and snaps a streak of nine outings allowing no more than three earned runs. Taillon has failed to surpass five strikeouts in eight of his last nine starts to total 43 whiffs in 50.1 innings over the stretch.

Earns win over Twins Taillon (8-4) allowed three earned runs on five hits while striking out five across 5.1 innings, earning the win over the Twins on Thursday.

Impact Taillon fired five shutout innings before struggling in the sixth. He recorded just one out before allowing three runs on four straight hits before being relieved. The Yankees' offense provided plenty of run support to keep him in line for the win. The 29-year-old has allowed three or less runs in each of his last nine starts. He has a 3.94 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 121 strikeouts in 123.1 innings.

Goes five innings in no-decision Taillon allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Saturday. He struck out four.

Impact The White Sox dinged Taillon for a run in each of the first three innings, but the right-hander put up zeroes over the next two frames and turned a 3-3 game over to the bullpen after five. Taillon has been a stabilizing force in the Yankees' rotation -- Saturday marked the first time since late June in which he's allowed more than two runs in a start -- logging 118 innings with a 3.89 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. He's tentatively lined up to make his next start at home against the Twins.

Logs quality start Monday Taillon pitched six innings against Kansas City on Monday, allowing an unearned run on four hits and two walks while striking out four. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact The right-hander was sharp in what turned into an 11-inning affair, throwing 55 of 87 pitches for strikes and keeping Kansas City off the scoreboard through six frames. Taillon was pulled after allowing a single to lead off the seventh, and the Royals managed to get the runner home against Jonathan Loaisiga without collecting another hit in the frame. Taillon's strong effort continued a run of seven straight starts since the beginning of July in which he has allowed two or fewer earned runs. Over that stretch, he has registered a 1.25 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 39:13 K:BB across 43.1 innings. Taillon will look to keep things going in his next start, which is expected to come on the road against the White Sox this weekend.

Strikes out 10 in no-decision Taillon allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk with 10 strikeouts in 6.1 innings versus Baltimore on Wednesday. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Taillon turned in his fourth quality start in his last six appearances, although he emerged with a no-decision for the second time in that span. The right-hander missed out on the win as he exited with the game tied before the Yankees' offense rallied ahead in the bottom of the seventh inning. The 29-year-old continues to lower his ERA, which is now 4.04 with a 1.22 WHIP and 108:32 K:BB through 107 innings this season. He's expected to make his next start on the road in Kansas City next week.

Fans five in win Taillon (7-4) earned the win over Miami on Friday. He allowed five hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.2 scoreless innings.

Impact The right-hander benefited from facing a Miami team depleted of talent at the trade deadline. Taillon was an out short of a quality start, but he's still allowed just six runs (four earned) in 31 innings in July. His strong work lately has dropped his ERA to 4.11 with a 1.24 WHIP and 98:31 K:BB across 100.2 innings overall. The 29-year-old lines up for another easy start next week versus Baltimore.

Works through early struggles Taillon (6-4) allowed three runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out four across seven innings to earn the win Saturday against the Red Sox.

Impact Taillon allowed one run to cross the plate in each of his first three innings, though only one was earned. However, he fought through the early issues to complete seven innings for the second time in his last four starts. In that span, he's allowed only four earned runs across 25.1 frames while also punching out 20 and walking eight. Overall, Taillon has a 4.36 ERA with 93 strikeouts across 95 innings.

Fourth straight winning decision Taillon (5-4) won Sunday's 9-1 game with Boston, pitching 5.1 scoreless innings and permitting four hits and two walks with three strikeouts.

Impact Taillon held a powerful Boston lineup at bay all game, only encountering trouble in the fourth and sixth innings when he allowed runners to reach second and third with one out, but New York was able to escape both jams unscathed. The win is Taillon's fourth in his last five starts and he hasn't lost since May 31, an eight-start stretch that's seen his ERA improve to 4.60.

Turns in another quality start Taillon allowed two runs on three hits and two walks over six innings in Sunday's loss to the Astros. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Taillon was in line for his fourth consecutive win before the Yankees' bullpen melted down in the ninth inning. The only damage against him came via the long ball; he allowed a pair of solo homers to Martin Maldonado and Kyle Tucker. He's now allowed two or fewer runs in four of his last five starts, bringing his ERA down to 4.90 through 17 starts. Taillon hasn't been hit with a loss since May 31.

Cruises to easy victory Taillon (4-4) earned the win Tuesday against the Mariners after allowing one run on four hits and a walk while striking out nine over seven innings.

Impact Taillon was given a massive lead to work with early on after the Yankees climbed out to an 8-0 advantage through the first three innings. The 29-year-old still held his own and delivered a gem after he was roughed up his last time out. Taillon went seven innings for the first time in 2021 and tied his season-high in strikeouts while inducing 11 total swinging strikes. He's experienced an uptick in strikeouts this year, averaging a career-best 9.6 K/9 but still owns an inflated 5.05 ERA to go along with a 1.30 WHIP and 82:22 K:BB over 76.2 innings. He's in line to end the week with a tough road tilt against the Astros before the league heads into the All-Star break.
