Pirates' Jameson Taillon set to start just 5 weeks after testicular cancer surgery

Published Jun. 10, 2017 4:18 p.m. ET

Pirates right-hander Jameson Taillon will start Monday — exactly five weeks after he had surgery for testicular cancer.

Taillon, 25, last started in the majors on May 3, but has made three minor-league rehab starts since the surgery.

"It's been an interesting process for everybody — not something we saw coming into my 2017 season. I'm excited to pitch," Taillon said, via MLB.com. "After this right here, I really want to be a pitcher again. Just want to be a guy on the team making starts and doing my job."
