Jameson Taillon To Undergo Flexor Surgery, Intends To Continue Career

Impending free agent starter Jameson Taillon tells Shi Davidi of Sportsnet that he’s scheduled for flexor surgery next week. The veteran right-hander acknowledged there’s a chance he’ll also require an internal brace repair of his UCL. The surgery seems likely to cost Taillon most or all of the 2027 season. (It’s highly likely he’d miss the entire year if there’s a ligament repair.) Taillon stressed that he’s going this route because he intends to get fully healthy and continue his career. The former second overall pick turns 35 in November and would be eyeing a comeback for his age-36 campaign if he’s out until 2028. More to come. View Comments (5)
