Taillon gave up one hit, struck out three and walked three while
throwing 34 of his 61 pitches for strikes against the Red Sox.
The game, which Toronto won 2-1, was scoreless when he was seen
talking to Blue Jays manager John Schneider and team trainers in
the dugout after finishing the fourth inning.
“He said his forearm was a little tight, kind of getting some
extension on cutters, sliders,” Schneider said after the game.
“For a guy with some injury history, hopefully we can be
proactive, and I don’t want to take any chances with him.”
Schneider said Taillon would get an MRI exam on Tuesday.
“Hoping it for the best,” the manager said. “He was throwing the
ball well, and left some runners out there, and got back in
counts and made some good pitches.”
Simeon Woods Richardson (2-7) took over on the mound for Toronto
in the fifth. He pitched three innings for the win, and the only
run he allowed came on a bizarre inning-ending double play that
was a sacrifice fly when the runner never tagged up from third
base.
The Blue Jays are already without starters Trey Yesavage (left
knee inflammation), Spencer Arrighetti (nerve irritation in
right foot) and Patrick Corbin (shoulder). Yesavage and
Arrighetti are both on the 15-day injured list, and Corbin is on
the 60-day IL.
Arrighetti was on the injured list when he was acquired from
Houston in a trade on Aug. 3 for center fielder Daulton Varsho.
