Taillon was placed on the injured list on Aug. 27 (retroactive to Aug. 25) with a left groin injury. He is 9-6 with a 4.15 ERA this season.

Taillon made a rehabilitation start for Triple-A Iowa on Sept. 4 and allowed three runs on six hits with one run and six strikeouts over 3 2/3 innings.

In a corresponding move, right-handed pitcher Ethan Roberts was optioned to Triple-A Iowa.
