Taillon signed a one-year, $5.8 million contract with the Yankees on Tuesday to avoid arbitration, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon returned to the mound in 2021 after missing a year for his second Tommy John surgery, and he had a solid campaign with a 4.30 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 140:44 K:BB across 144 innings (29 starts). He's in his final year of arbitration eligibility and is set to be a free agent at the end of the season.

Taillon (ankle) will start Monday's spring training game against the Phillies, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Aaron Boone said last week Taillon was on track to be ready by Opening Day, and the right-hander will make his first start of spring training Monday. The 30-year-old underwent ankle surgery in October and had no apparent issues with his rehab and recovery, which should allow him to take a spot in the Yankees' starting rotation to open 2022.

Manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Taillon (ankle) is on target to start the season on time, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon underwent ankle surgery in late October, but he's made good progress during the offseason and resumed throwing in recent weeks. The right-hander will presumably work on building up his workload during spring training, and he'll benefit from having an extra week ahead of the regular season after Opening Day was pushed back by a week. Boone revealed that Domingo German has been dealing with some shoulder injuries since January, so Taillon should compete for a spot in the rotation to begin the regular season.

Taillon's (ankle) teammate, Luke Voit, said Monday that the right-handed pitcher has looked good during his recent throwing sessions, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees aren't holding formal training sessions while the MLB lockout remains ongoing, but Voit, Taillon and several other members of the 40-man roster are seemingly working out together in preparation for the start of the season. Taillon, who underwent right ankle surgery Oct. 28, previously noted earlier in the offseason that he hadn't experienced any setbacks during his winter throwing program, so he should have a good chance at gaining full clearance by the time the 2022 campaign gets underway. The 30-year-old would be one of several rehabbing players who would benefit from the start of the season being pushed back due to the lockout, even if only for a week or two.

Taillon is making good progress in his recovery from ankle surgery and could be part of the Yankees' rotation in April, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon underwent the procedure in late October and was thought to have a chance to be ready for Opening Day. It looks as though he's still roughly on track, though it may be more likely that he returns sometime later in April.

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.
