Taillon will start Saturday against the Cardinals and Thursday against the Brewers, Stephen J. Nesbitt of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander's spot in the rotation heading into the second half was unknown due to a recent bout with flu-like symptoms. Taillon missed out on a potential two-start assignment next week but remains worth using in most fantasy games regardless of matchup. He sports a 2.73 ERA with 8.5 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 over 11 starts this season.

Taillon will not make his first start of the second-half until Thursday against the Brewers, Stephen J. Nesbitt of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander will be held off due to his recent bout with flu-like symptoms and perhaps partly to rest him for workload management, following his recent bout with testicular cancer. Taillon has produced sparkling numbers this year, with a 2.73 ERA, 8.5 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 over 11 starts, and should continue locking into most fantasy lineups regardless of matchup.

Taillon was scratched from Sunday's start with flu-like symptoms. Chad Kuhl will start in his place, but is unlikely to go deep into the game, as he threw 95 pitches in Thursday's start.

EDGE Analysis

This news did not come down until shortly before first pitch. It is unclear when Taillon's first start of the second half will come, but he could be an option for next weekend's series against the Cardinals.

Taillon has been scratched from his Sunday start, according to The Fan 93.7 in Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon was warming up in the bullpen Sunday afternoon when he left the mound. There are no immediate details as to why he was scratched. Chad Kuhl is expected to start in his stead.

Taillon (5-2) threw five scoreless innings in Tuesday's win over the Phillies, allowing four hits and two walks with nine strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon was outstanding in this one, totaling a new career high in punchouts as he shut down the hapless Phillies lineup. His outing was cut a bit short by a high pitch count, thanks in part to 23 foul balls from the opposition, but the bullpen preserved the win rather easily. Taillon has now delivered back-to-back scoreless outings over his last two turns, lowering his ERA to a sharp 2.73 which places him among the National League leaders in that particular category. He appears to be throwing the ball as well as he has at any point this season and will look to keep it going Sunday against the Cubs.

Taillon (4-2) pitched 6.1 scoreless innings with four strikeouts during Thursday's win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon was in cruise control for most of the night while pitching around nine baserunners (seven hits and two walks). He's allowed two runs or fewer in seven of 10 starts this season and sports a solid 2.97 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 7.8 K/9. A road start against the Phillies is up next for the emerging 25-year-old righty.

Taillon allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings Friday but didn't factor into the decision in a 4-3 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

It's the 25-year-old's third quality start of the season and first since returning from the DL on June 12. Taillon now has a sharp 3.33 ERA and 46:18 K:BB in 51.1 innings and will look to build on those numbers Thursday at home against the Rays.

Taillon (3-2) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out four batters through five innings during Sunday's loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago got it rolling at the dish Sunday, and Taillon didn't have an answer. It was just his second start since missing over a month of action, so spinning a mediocre outing against a capable lineup isn't a cause for concern at this point. Taillon owns a rock-solid 3.38 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 7.5 K/9 through 26 career starts and projects to remain a middle-of-the-rotation fantasy option going forward. A road date with the Cardinals at Busch Stadium is up next for the 25-year-old righty.

Taillon (3-1) pitched five scoreless innings with five strikeouts during Monday's win over Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon's curveball was especially sharp in this outing, and the 25-year-old righty now sports a 2.90 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 7.8 K/9 through his seven starts this year. Considering the current fantasy landscape of the pitcher position, Taillon is on the fast track to being a rare set-and-forget option -- if he isn't already. He projects to make his next start against the Cubs at PNC Park this weekend.

Taillon was activated from the disabled list and will start Monday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Taillon is back with the big club to make his first start since undergoing surgery for testicular cancer around five weeks ago. The 25-year-old, who owns a 3.31 ERA through six starts this season, will face-off against Kyle Freeland and the Rockies in his first game back. Phil Gosselin was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding roster move.
