Taillon will have his next start skipped, Stephen J. Nesbitt of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon has been one of Pittsburgh's better starters since being called up in June, but it seems that the Pirates want to be cautious with the young hurler as the season winds down. The right-hander is currently sitting at 149.2 innings on the season between the majors and minor leagues, and since Gerrit Cole (elbow) is slated to return from the disabled list Monday, this ended up being the time to give Taillon a break. It's unclear if this is the only start the 24-year-old will miss or if he'll be kept out for a few more, but that should become clearer as the month rolls along.
