Taillon underwent ankle surgery Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon sustained a right ankle tendon injury in early September and now faces a recovery timetable of approximately five months. If his rehab goes smoothly, the right-hander has a chance to be ready for Opening Day in 2022.

Taillon will undergo ankle surgery in late October, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon hit the injured list in early September with a right ankle tendon injury. He returned for a pair of brief starts at the end of the season but wasn't fully healthy. The procedure is expected to take five months to recover from, giving him an expected return date in late March. If everything goes smoothly, he could be ready for game action by Opening Day, but even a slight delay will likely send him to the injured list to open the season.

Taillon (ankle) allowed two hits and a walk with two strikeouts in 3.1 innings in a no-decision versus Tampa Bay on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon has been bothered by this ankle injury for much of the last month, but he was able to deliver solid work across 45 pitches (27 strikes) Sunday. He ends the regular season with an 8-6 record, a 4.30 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 140:44 K:BB in 144.1 innings in his first season with the Yankees. It's unclear if the 29-year-old would be a candidate for a rotation spot in the postseason should the Yankees defeat Boston in Tuesday's AL Wild Card Game.

Taillon (ankle) will start Sunday's season finale against the Rays, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon's status was unclear after he exited Tuesday's start early due to aggravating a prior ankle injury. However, he threw a successful bullpen session Friday and will be ready to start a pivotal final game of the regular season for the Yankees. In his first abbreviated outing since returning from a three-week absence on Sep. 28, Taillon allowed one earned run on one hit and a walk while striking out two across 2.1 frames.

Taillon (ankle) threw a successful bullpen session Friday and is in the mix to start Sunday's season finale against the Rays, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon exited his start Tuesday against Toronto after aggravating the ankle injury which sent him to the injured list in early September. He threw off flat ground Thursday and off a mound Friday, however, so the setback doesn't seem to be a significant one.

Taillon (ankle) threw off flat ground Thursday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon appeared to aggravate his right ankle injury in Tuesday's start against the Blue Jays, and he's slated to undergo further testing this weekend. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return in 2021, but it's encouraging that he was able to throw two days after he sustained his injury.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Taillon will undergo further testing on his right ankle when the club returns to New York this weekend before a timeline for the pitcher's recovery established, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Boone noted that Taillon was feeling "better than expected" after aggravating a right ankle tendon injury in Tuesday's start against the Blue Jays, the skipper was unwilling to speculate whether the right-hander would pitch again in 2021. Considering Taillon missed just under three weeks the first time he succumbed to the injury, he would seem to be at major risk of missing the entire ALDS, should the Yankees clinch a wild-card spot and win in the wild-card game. Taillon had been lined up to start Sunday's regular-season finale against the Rays, but the Yankees' plans for that contest are now unclear.

Taillon was removed during the third inning of Tuesday's start against the Blue Jays after appearing to aggravate his right ankle injury, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon was sidelined the past three weeks with a right ankle tendon injury before being activated for Tuesday's outing, and he appeared to aggravate the injury and exited with an athletic trainer after recording only seven outs. He allowed one run on one hit with two strikeouts and a walk before leaving the game, and he won't factor in the decision. More importantly, the right-hander's availability is now up in the air for the final turn through the rotation as well as a potential postseason run.

The Yankees reinstated Taillon (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction was made in advance of Taillon's scheduled start in Tuesday's series opener in Toronto. Sidelined since Sept. 9 with the right ankle tendon injury, Taillon built up to three innings during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, giving up two runs while striking out two in his lone start for the affiliate. He'll likely face a light cap with his pitch count Tuesday, the first of what's expected to be two outings this week for the right-hander. Taillon tentatively lines up to start Sunday's regular-season finale with the Rays in New York.

Taillon (ankle) is lined up to start Tuesday's game against Toronto, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon has missed just shy of three weeks with an ankle issue. If he does wind up returning Tuesday as expected, he'd have the possibility of a two-start week to end the season, as he'd be on turn to start Sunday's season finale against the Rays.
