Blue Jays Shuffle Rotation as Taillon Hits IL with Forearm Tendinitis

The Blue Jays placed Jameson Taillon on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tendinitis after a four-inning start since he was acquired, and recalled Chase Lee. Taillon's injury tightens a rotation already dealing with Arrighetti's Morton’s neuroma and Yesavage's IL stint, leaving Simeon Woods Richardson and other depth arms to fill in as the team assesses long-term implications while Cease, Soriano, Scherzer and Bieber are lined up for the next four starts.

Blue Jays land Taillon to shore up rotation after Cubs DFA

The Toronto Blue Jays acquired Jameson Taillon from the Chicago Cubs to bolster their rotation, adding a veteran right-hander after the Cubs designated him for assignment. Toronto will clear a 40-man spot by moving Lenyn Sosa to the 60-day injured list and will send cash considerations or a player to be named later back to Chicago. Taillon, 34, signed a four-year, $68 million deal with the Cubs in 2023 and had been a solid innings eater early in that contract, but he was tagged with a 5.92 ERA in 2026 as his home run issues spiked, contributing to the DFA. The move signals the Jays’ intent to add pitching depth for the stretch run, potentially absorbing innings as they navigate their rotation ahead of upcoming trades.
