Jameson Taillon News
New York Yankees starting pitcher Jameson Taillon pitched into the eighth inning Tuesday, giving up two runs on seven hits and no walks in 7 1/3 innings. He struck out six and earned his 14th win of the season as the Yankees clinched the AL East division title with a 5-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Taillon has now delivered back-to-back quality starts and has been a reliable rotation piece all season with his 3.83 ERA and 1.11 WHIP, though his 146 strikeouts in 171 1/3 innings have limited his fantasy upside.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Jameson Taillon (forearm, wrist) expects to make his next start after leaving his last start early after taking a comebacker off his right wrist. There was a little bruising and swelling on Friday, but he was able to throw in the outfield. Taillon believes he'll make his next scheduled start on Monday against the Minnesota Twins in the Bronx as long as he comes out of his bullpen session on Saturday with no issues. It's good news for a Yankees rotation that is currently without Luis Severino and Nestor Cortes. The 30-year-old Taillon has been steady for New York this year, going 12-4 with a 3.97 ERA (4.09 FIP), a 1.12 WHIP and a 117:24 K:BB in 140 2/3 innings over his 26 starts.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Jameson Taillon (forearm) exited Tuesday's game against the Angels at the end of the top of the second inning after getting hit in the right forearm with a line drive, per the team's Twitter account. Taillon had allowed two runs on two hits (including a home run) and no walks with two strikeouts. Fantasy managers may know more after the game, but they and the Yankees will hope that Taillon did not sustain a serious injury. The 30-year-old has been a serviceable fantasy option with a 12-4 record and a 3.97 ERA through 26 starts.

Jameson Taillon had his second Tommy John surgery in 2019 after making just seven starts for the Pirates in 2019. In those seven starts, Taillon posted a 4.10 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and a 30:8 K:BB in 37 1/3 innings pitched. Since arriving in the majors in 2016, Taillon's issue has been his ability to stay on the mound. Otherwise, excluding the small 2019 sample size, Taillon has consistently proven to be a reliable starting pitcher with excellent control who has limited damage against him. From 2016-2018, Taillon posted elite walk, overall barrel, and curveball spin rates, to go with a fastball velocity well above league averages. His career 50% ground ball rate and resulting career 0.93 HR/9 IP rate have supported his career 3.67 ERA and 3.55 FIP. Heading into 2021, Taillon presents questions including durability, ability to replicate prior success, and the impact of his move to New York. Though he has not, essentially, pitched since 2018, reports indicate that the 29-year-old has been throwing the ball well. While he moves to a more difficult pitcher's park and A.L. East division, the adverse impact on his fantasy value may be offset by the opportunity to accumulate many more wins in the Bronx and his ability to avoid the long ball. If Taillon proves healthy, he is a potential steal around the 20th round. He can provide managers with precious innings, a sub-4.00 ERA, a sub-1.25 WHIP, wins, and a decent number of strikeouts. Though managers shouldn't reach for him, despite his move to the Yankees, he remains worth the risk if he can be rostered at his current ADP of 237.
