Taillon didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the White Sox, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

It was a relatively strong outing for the right-hander, but homers by the light-hitting Leury Garcia and Yolmer Sanchez prevented Taillon from having a shot at his third win of the season. He'll take a 3.97 ERA, and a somewhat worrying 1.2 HR/9, into his next outing Tuesday on the road against the Reds.

Taillon (finger) will start Wednesday against the White Sox as scheduled, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon's status was up in the air after he was forced to leave his previous start early due to a finger laceration. It appears that the team is confident he'll be able to go. After giving up just two runs in his first three starts this season, the 26-year-old has since settled down near his career numbers, posting a 4.08 ERA in 39.2 innings.

The Pirates have not announced whether Taillon (finger) will make his scheduled start Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

General manager Neal Huntington said that the organization would "rather err on the side of conservatism" and have him miss one start instead of risking a protracted absence. On the other hand, one of the potential replacement options for Taillon on Wednesday, Nick Kingham, started for Double-A Altoona on Monday -- leading to speculation Taillon could make his start. Fortunately for fantasy owners, it doesn't sound as though the righty will miss more than one start, if it all.

Taillon (finger) is scheduled to play catch Sunday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon was lifted from Friday's game with a finger laceration on his right hand. He'll play catch Sunday to see how the finger is feeling after a full day of healing. An update on his potential availability for his upcoming start should become available following the throwing session. It doesn't sound like the laceration is overly debilitating, as Taillon is hopeful that he'll be able to take the mound on Wednesday against the White Sox, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic Pittsburgh reports.

Taillon exited Friday's start against the Giants with a finger laceration on his right hand.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon recorded five strikeouts and allowed one hit and one walk over three innings prior to leaving with the finger issue. The severity of the laceration remains unclear and the 26-year-old should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Taillon allowed one run on six hits and two walks across five innings in a no-decision Saturday against the Brewers. He stuck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon was solid for a second straight outing, and he's now allowed just four runs over his last 11 innings (two starts) after getting touched up for 12 runs across his preceding 5.1 frames. The 26-year-old's lone strikeout marked a season-low, but he was able to stifle the Brewers for the most part, allowing just one extra-base hit which produced the only run against him. He'll look to keep lowering his 4.42 ERA in his next start, which should come at home against the Giants.

Taillon (2-1) allowed five earned runs on four hits while walking two and striking out three across 1.2 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies jumped on Taillon in the second inning as Rhys Hoskins started the trouble with a solo home run. Later in the inning, Cesar Hernandez hitting a single with the bases loaded to drive in three more runs. While Thursday's start was not his finest effort, Taillon had been off to a strong start this season. For now, there's little reason to believe this is more than one bad performance.

Taillon allowed four hits while walking three and striking out two across six scoreless innings Saturday against the Marlins. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon continued his run of early season success with his second scoreless outing in three starts. He had only two strikeouts Saturday, but did manage to generate 13 groundballs compared to just 3 flyballs. After recording nine strikeouts in his first start, Taillon has just nine over his past two starts combined. However, his ratios remain excellent thanks to his ability to keep batted balls on the ground.

Taillon allowed only one hit while walking two and striking out seven in a complete game shutout to earn the win against the Reds on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon allowed his only hit of the game to opposing pitcher Tyler Mahle in the top of the third inning. While he relied on strikeouts in his first outing, Taillon turned more to his usual profile of generating groundballs by inducing 11 Sunday. Regardless of how he gets the job done, Taillon has gotten off to a great start for the season, working 14.1 innings while striking out 16, walking just two, and allowing only two earned runs.

Taillon (1-0) gave up two runs on four hits and struck out nine batters over 5.1 innings in Monday's winning effort against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon was dialed in from the start in his first game of the season, as he allowed just two batters to get on base over his first five innings of work. Although he gave up two runs in the sixth inning, one of which came from a home run hit by Brian Dozier, he made an impressive season debut. The righty showed tremendous control, throwing 61 of his 91 pitches for strikes while fanning nine batters and not surrendering any walks. Taillon will look to capitalize on his strong start when he returns to the mound Sunday against the Reds.
