ANAHEIM, Calif. -- New York Yankees starter Jameson Taillon was pulled from the game against the Los Angeles Angels after only two innings Tuesday night, after being hit by a 91 MPH liner off the bat of Magneuris Sierra.
The Yankees later announced that Taillon had a right forearm contusion, and that X-Rays for a possible fracture were negative.
Taillon threw his 33rd pitch of the night to Sierra, a 94 MPH fastball that the speedy Angels outfielder hit towards the mound. Taillon attempted to field the ball, but managed to only slow it down for second baseman DJ LeMahieu, who promptly threw it to first base for the third out of the inning.
