Shaky in Jays debut
Taillon didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Astros, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out four.
Analyse
All the damage off Taillon came in the third inning, highlighted by a Jose Altuve solo shot. It wasn't an impressive Toronto debut for the veteran righty, who got lifted after 80 pitches (49 strikes), but he was taken off the hook for the loss when his new teammates got to Hunter Brown for three runs of their own in the sixth. Taillon will continue to round out the rotation until Trey Yesavage (knee) or Spencer Arrighetti (foot) are cleared to return, and he'll take a 5.96 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 72:29 K:BB through 80 innings on the season into his next start, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Red Sox.

Will start Wednesday
Taillon will start Wednesday's game against the Astros in Houston, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analyse
The Blue Jays are moving to a six-man rotation for the time being, and Taillon looks poised to occupy a spot at least until Spencer Arrighetti (foot) is ready to return from the injured list. In 15 starts with the Cubs this season, Taillon pitched to an ugly 5.92 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 68:27 K:BB across 76 innings. He also surrendered 25 home runs during that span.

Shipped to Toronto
The Blue Jays acquired Taillon from the Cubs on Sunday in exchange for cash or a player to be named later, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
The veteran right-hander was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Monday, and the Blue Jays elected to secure his services via trade rather than risk another team claiming him on waivers. Unless Toronto shifts to a six-man rotation, Taillon doesn't cleanly fit into the club's starting plans, but that could change soon with Kevin Gausman and Shane Bieber being candidates to be moved ahead of Monday's trade deadline.
