Pirates pitching prospect Jameson Taillon will pitch in an extended spring training game on Thursday. It will be his first game action since undergoing Tommy John surgery in April 2014.

Taillon was ranked the 29th best prospect in the game by Baseball America coming into the 2015 season. It is not know at this time when Taillon will begin a rehab assignment, but he definitely is heading in the right direction. The team should have a better idea after his outing on Thursday.
