Taillon (elbow) is hoping to pitch in an actual game April 9, a year and a day after his Tommy John surgery. the Pirates' Web site reports. He hasn't suffered any setbacks during his recovery. "It feels really good," Taillon said of his elbow. "My delivery's in a good place. Feeling strong. Feels healthy. I'm not really thinking about it, so that's a positive." The righty is expected to throw live batting practice Friday.
