May 19 (The Sports Xchange) - Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander
Jameson Taillon is keeping an optimistic outlook in his recovery
following surgery for testicular cancer.
"(I'm) feeling good now, feeling healthy. We're getting all good
news back so far," Taillon said on Friday. "Going forward, it'll
be something I have to monitor and stay on top of, something
I'll carry with me the rest of my life."
Taillon, 25, discovered the abnormality after being placed on
the disabled list on May 6. He had tissue surgically removed two
days later at Allegheny General Hospital.
Taillon, who owns a 2-1 mark with a 3.31 ERA in six starts this
season, was cleared to play catch and resume light
cardiovascular drills Wednesday. He has a 7-5 career mark with a
3.36 ERA in 24 games.
