Taillon (13-4) earned the win Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over 7.1 innings in a 10-3 victory over the Rays. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees scored six runs in the first inning, affording Taillon a fair amount of wiggle room. He didn't need much, however, as Taillon was mostly excellent until he put two of the first three batters aboard in the eighth inning, both of which came around to score after his exit. Taillon does not typically pack the swing-and-miss punch of a frontline fantasy starter, but he leads the Yankees in wins and his 1.13 WHIP ranks 10th in the American League among qualified starters.

Taillon did not factor in the decision against Minnesota on Monday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three batters.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon departed his previous start early as a result of taking a line drive to his right forearm, but he didn't need to miss a turn in the rotation. The right-hander threw 83 strikes Monday and allowed just one extra-base hit, but that was a two-run homer by Gary Sanchez in the fifth inning that tied the score. Taillon has given up at least one homer in each of his six starts since Aug. 8, but he hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of those outings. He's posted a 3.94 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB over 32 innings during that stretch.

Taillon (forearm) is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Twins at Yankee Stadium, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Taillon came out of his bullpen session over the weekend without issue and will make his 27th start of the season after exiting his previous outing against the Angels on Aug. 30, when he was struck in the forearm by a line drive. Through his eight starts since the All-Star break, Taillon has submitted a 4.24 ERA and 1.12 WHIP while striking out 35 over 40.1 innings.

Taillon (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Saturday and is still expected to pitch in his next scheduled start, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon was diagnosed with a right forearm contusion after being hit by a line drive during Tuesday's win over the Angels. The injury never seemed to be considered serious, and the fact that he could avoid missing a start is a good sign for a Yankees pitching staff that has been plagued with injuries all year.

Taillon was removed from Tuesday's game against the Angels and was diagnosed with a right forearm contusion after having X-rays come back negative.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon was struck in the forearm by a line drive and was lifted after giving up two runs over two innings to the Halos. The 30-year-old appeared to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day, and it's unclear if the injury will affect his availability for the next turn through the rotation.

Taillon (12-4) earned the win over Oakland on Thursday, pitching six innings and allowing one run on six hits and no walks while striking out two batters.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon induced a modest seven swinging strikes, but he didn't need his swing-and-miss stuff to tame the Athletics' offense. The veteran right-hander was staked to a 10-run lead through four frames and cruised to an easy win, allowing his only run on a Shea Langeliers solo homer in the sixth. Taillon is tied for eighth in the majors with 12 victories on the season despite a middle-of-the-road 3.89 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 7.5 K/9.

Taillon (11-4) took the loss Friday as the Yankees were downed 4-0 by the Blue Jays, giving up three runs on six hits over five innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander didn't pitch too badly aside from grooving a first-pitch fastball to Teoscar Hernandez in the fourth inning that wound up traveling 421 feet to nearly straightaway center field, but the New York offense managed only four singles all night and never got a runner past second base, so Taillon had no margin for error. In six starts since the All-Star break, he's posted a 4.45 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 31:12 K:BB through 32.1 innings, with the ERA being fueled by a 1.7 HR/9.

Taillon (11-3) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and zero walks over seven innings against the Red Sox. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon got off to a rocky start as Tommy Pham led off the game with a double to deep center and later came around to score. The only other damage came from a two-run home run off the bat of Rafael Devers in the sixth. The Yankees' starter was out-dueled by Michael Wacha on the night, but it was promising that Taillon did not walk a batter for the first time since July 16. He will look to get back in the win column in his next start, which is slated to be against the Blue Jays this week.

Taillon (11-2) allowed three runs on three hits and three walks over seven innings Monday, striking out six and earning a win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon served up a pair of solo home runs in Monday's victory, including a first-inning shot by Mitch Haniger. The 30-year-old righty also loaded the bases with two outs in the fourth but wiggled out of the jam after giving up just one run. Taillon earned his first win since July 16 and turned in his longest outing since June 2. He'll carry a 3.95 ERA into his projected start in Boston this weekend.

Taillon did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Mariners, allowing six runs (five earned) on two hits while striking out six and walking four over 4.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon was not efficient Tuesday, throwing 98 pitches (56 for strikes) across 4.2 innings. Despite allowing just two hits, Taillon was tagged for five earned runs thanks in large part to two early home runs. The righty had not allowed more than three runs in a game until a four-run outing June 7, but he has four such games since then, including two games with six earned runs and two with five earned runs. Taillon also has just four quality starts in his last 12 appearances. He will take a 3.96 ERA into his next outing.
