KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Toronto Blue Jays starter Jameson Taillon left Friday night’s game against Kansas City after two innings due to right elbow discomfort.
Taillon was making his first appearance since Aug. 10, when he was placed on the injured list with right forearm tendinitis. The 34-year-old right-hander allowed one run on two hits in two innings before leaving.
Toronto manager John Schneider said that Taillon is likely headed back to the IL.
“Probably,” the manager said after the Blue Jays beat the Royals 9-2. “Just based on what he just went through and coming out of the game in the second. But I don’t want to make it a slam dunk right now.”
