After missing the last two years with elbow and hernia injuries, Jameson Tailon bounced back in 2016 with a healthy, productive season, including his major-league debut. But the Pittsburgh Pirates are going to play it safe with their 24-year-old righty and are holding him out for his next start to give him some rest. His start will be taken by Gerrit Cole, who returns from another disabled list stint.
