Taillon appeared to be in pain as he left the field, looking down at his forearm and wrist.
He was replaced by Greg Weissert, who retired all six batters he faced in his third big league appearance. The 27-year-old Fordham product made his major league debut last week.
Taillon yielded two hits and two runs in his abbreviated start, striking out two. He gave up a two-run homer to Max Stassi shortly before getting hurt.
Taillon is 12-4 with a 3.97 ERA for the first-place Yankees. He pitched six innings of one-run ball to beat Oakland last Thursday, rebounding from his first back-to-back losses of the season.
The Yankees are already without starting pitchers Luis Severino, who has a strained back muscle, and Nestor Cortes, who has a groin injury. Severino will begin a rehab assignment later this week, while Cortes will throw a bullpen Wednesday in Anaheim.
