Blue Jays Pitching Boost: Taillon Nears Return
26 Aug
Summary
- Jameson Taillon to throw rehab game Friday for Triple-A Buffalo.
- Taillon aims for 50 pitches in his rehab start.
- Trey Yesavage increased catch play distance to 75 feet.
The Toronto Blue Jays are anticipating potential reinforcements for their pitching staff. Manager John Schneider provided updates on two key right-handers, Jameson Taillon and Trey Yesavage, ahead of the team's series opener against the Kansas City Royals.
Jameson Taillon is nearing a return after a forearm injury. He is slated to throw a rehabilitation game for the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons this Friday. Taillon's goal for the outing is approximately 50 pitches. Should this outing prove successful, the Blue Jays intend to reintegrate him into their starting rotation during the next turn.
Trey Yesavage is also making strides in his recovery from knee surgery. He has recently advanced his throwing program, increasing the distance of his catch play sessions to 75 feet while training in Dunedin. Both pitchers' progress offers a boost to the Blue Jays' depth as they head into their series.
