INDIANAPOLIS - Jameson Taillon didn’t need much time to know he made strides in his second rehab start after having surgery for testicular cancer.
That’s because the ice tank didn’t feel to be as immediate of a need this time around.
Taillon allowed three hits and one unearned run in five innings for Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, striking out six batters and walking none. He threw 49 of his 68 pitches for a strike. That followed a 3-inning rehab start with Double-A Altoona on Sunday.
“Last time I felt like I got hit by a train,” Taillon said.
