PITTSBURGH — Top Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Jameson Taillon is scheduled to make his major league debut tonight, getting called up from Triple-A Indianapolis to start against the New York Mets.

The 24-year-old right-hander was the second overall pick in the 2010 amateur draft behind Bryce Harper.

In 10 starts with Indianapolis this season, Taillon has gone 4-2 with a 2.04 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 61 2/3 innings. He missed the last two seasons while recovering from Tommy John elbow ligament transplant surgery and a sports hernia.

The Pirates needed a spot starter following Tuesday’s doubleheader with the Mets, but manager Clint Hurdle said he was unsure if Taillon will stay with the team beyond Wednesday.

Hurdle said: “Some of it is in his control and some of it isn’t. We’ll see what happens.”
