The Pirates have no plans to recall Taillon on Wednesday, his next scheduled turn in Triple-A Indy's rotation. "He's well ahead of our internal projections of where we thought he'd be," GM Neal Huntington told DK Pittsburgh Sports on Sunday. "He's getting closer. We're not 100 percent comfortable (moving him into the rotation) at this point, but we're getting close."

Taillon, who has surpassed fellow prospect Tyler Glasnow in the pecking order for a promotion, could debut for Pittsburgh on Tuesday, June 14 against the Mets in New York -- which would coincide with his next potential starting date. He's compiled a 2.04 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 61:6 K:BB in 61.2 Triple-A innings.
