Taillon’s recovery delayed, will play catch ‘this weekend’

Jameson Taillon was placed on the IL in early May. It is now early July. Two months, and no real answers regarding Taillon's progress and recovery are in sight.

We do know he has a "strained right elbow flexor tendon." We do know he was scheduled to play catch Thursday before the Pirates' series finale against the Cubs.

Last night, I asked Clint Hurdle how that catch session went for Taillon.

“Don’t know if that happened,” Hurdle told me.

So today, during Hurdle's pregame media session at PNC Park, I followed up to see if he heard from Taillon either later last night or earlier this morning.
