Toronto Blue Jays place Jameson Taillon on injured list

The Toronto Blue Jays placed right-handed pitcher Jameson Taillon on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation. Manager John Schneider stated that Taillon’s season is likely finished, as the team reviews MRI results for additional assessment. To fill the vacancy on the active roster, the club recalled left-hander Ricky Tiedemann from Triple-A. The move comes as the team prepares for the second game of a series against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Meanwhile, starting pitcher Shane Bieber remains sidelined with right teres major inflammation. Schneider noted that Bieber is approximately one week behind Trey Yesavage in his recovery and is expected to throw off a mound next week.
