Taillon was optioned to rookie-level Bristol on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The assignment to Bristol will allow Taillon to return Friday -- after Bristol's season ends -- in time for his next scheduled start. Taillon turned in his worst performance in the majors his last time out, allowing five runs on seven hits (including two home runs) over just three innings (57 pitches). However, the results have been very good overall and he figures to continue taking the mound every fifth day over the remainder of the season.
