Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Pirates SP Jameson Taillon (elbow) has decided to undergo Tommy John surgery.

Fantasy Tip: Having reconstructive surgery was a last resort for Taillon, whose right elbow had been problematic during spring training. The decision was made after he had consulted at least three doctors and resting the elbow did not improve matters. Taillon is expected to be sidelined for 12 to 18 months.

A blister on one of the fingers on his pitching hand kept him from making a third spring start. INFs Matt Hague and Alen Hanson, C Carlos Paulino and Ps Casey Sadler and Joely Rodriguez were also sent down.

Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said Monday, Feb. 10, that the team plans to look at SP Jameson Taillon more during the spring. He was among the team's first cuts last spring. However, the GM warned that Taillon "still has work to do."

Fantasy Tip: Taillon is likely to head up the rotation with Triple-A Indianapolis. Fantasy owners in long-term keeper leagues obviously know who he is, and he is a highly coveted option.

Pittsburgh Pirates SP Jameson Taillon will be promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis Monday, Aug. 5.

Fantasy Tip: Taillon is one of the organization's top pitching prospects now that Gerrit Cole is in the big leagues. Taillon could be a September call-up, but don't bank on it. Taillon should be firmly planted on a roster in dynasty leagues, and he should become an option for mixed league owners next season.
