Jameson Taillon says he's "100 percent" ready to pitch Monday for the Pittsburgh Pirates, should the team call him up for his first start since being diagnosed with testicular cancer.
"Physically, mentally I'm 100 percent. I'm as sharp as I've been all year," Taillon said Saturday. "If anything, I had some time while I was away to work on things that I wanted to get done and sharpen up, so I'm probably in a better spot now than I was before."
Taillon had surgery on May 8 to treat his testicular cancer and since then has made three rehab starts.
