  "account": "Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Jameson Taillon exited Friday night's matchup against the Kansas City Royals after two innings due to right elbow discomfort. The 34-year-old right-hander was making his first appearance since August 10, when he was placed on the injured list due to right forearm tendinitis. Despite warming up and making progress, Taillon's condition deteriorated in the second inning, leading to his removal from the game. Toronto manager John Schneider indicated that Taillon is likely to return to the injured list, pending the results of an MRI scheduled for the following day.",
