Pirates right-hander Jameson Taillon experienced renewed pain in his right forearm and is no longer throwing, the Pirates revealed to reporters on Wednesday (Twitter link via Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette). The discomfort sounds particularly ominous, as Pirates medical director Todd Tomczyk suggested that the injury has “run its course of conservative care,” Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic tweets. Taillon will meet with a doctor next week.

I am sure this is going to require another surgery. Taillon has sure had his health issues. That is a darn shame.

If it is another TJ surgery, then that is not good obviously for him and career, let alone our pitching staff which is in shambles. This kid has been through so much and is the consummate professional through it all. I pray for his healing and a complete comeback even if he is out all of 2020. He is the type guy you want anchoring your pitching staff.
