Taillon is 2-1 with a 3.31 ERA through six starts this season. He sat out all of 2014 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, and the hernia operation set him back toward the end of his rehab in '15.
Right-hander Trevor Williams will move out of the Pirates' bullpen and start in Taillon's place against the Dodgers on Monday in Los Angeles. To take Taillon's spot on the active roster, and presumably to fill Williams' spot in the bullpen, the club called up right-hander Josh Lindblom from Triple-A Indianapolis.
Lindblom signed a Minor League contract with the Pirates on Jan.
