I'm not on twitter but have seen tweets by Taillon. He hasn't made any regarding his arm for awhile as far as I know. Not to be a pessimist but I think he would tweet something out if he was making good progress.

Bucs Dugout provides a positive report:

New imaging on Taillon’s right elbow shows healing, and the plan for him is a 10-14 day period where he will play catch from 60-70 feet, along with biometric treatment.

“All in all, very encouraging news, and we’ll see how he responds to throwing,” said director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk.

Surgery is not being discussed at this point in time, said Tomczyk.

That biometric plan includes work with weighted and medicine balls to make sure to introduce stress back to his arm, according to Taillon.

He seems destined to be out for the year. Need to acquire someone and put Brault as DH for the rest of the year.

Why would you do this? Brault has been better than Archer and can pinch hit as well. This

Is a bad take that is reminiscent of the jeff

Locke hate.

Brault definitely deserves a spot on this roster.

He has improved his control and he is a very good hitter

I’m glad to see Hurdle using him in PH situations

Lots of good news in the injury front in this update...Taillon, Kela, Polanco, Kuhl, Santana, Burdi, sort of Cervelli. It sounds like we’re close to seeing Kela back and we may yet see Taillon in August or September.

Dude, you don't have a sense of humor. TBH, I don't like seeing Brault on the mound though.

That is good that they are all getting healthy. I really don't want to see Polanco anytime soon. Our OF is pretty darn good the way it stands. Hurdle will bench a better player to get Polanco on the field.

I owe you an apology as I misread that you wanted Brault on the DL. My bad.

He is doing well as a hitter though:-)
