Taillon allowed four runs on six hits across 4.2 innings and didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Reds. He walked one and struck out five. For the fifth straight start, Taillon failed to complete five innings, and he's allowed four earned runs or more in four consecutive outings. On the heels of another poor showing, the righty is now sitting on an 8.04 ERA overall, and while he's been the victim of some bad luck (.378 BABIP, 48.9 percent strand rate), Taillon hasn't helped himself by serving his pitches up on a platter for hitters. According to BaseballSavant.com, Taillon ranks in the 13th percentile among all pitchers in barrel rate allowed (career-worst 11.7 percent, up from 8.3 percent in 2022).... See More ... See Less

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Another poor outing
Taillon (0-3) took the loss Saturday, allowing eight runs (six earned) on six hits and three walks over 2.1 innings against the Phillies. He struck out one. Taillon served up a season-high six earned runs and has given up multiple runs in four straight outings since returning from the injured list. During that stretch, he's surrendered more runs (19) than innings pitched (12.2) and has an 11:6 K:BB. If he continues on this trend, another stint on the injured list may be in the cards, but for now, he's projected to pitch again during the finale of a three-game set versus the Mets.... See More ...

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Coughs up four runs
Taillon allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk over 4.2 innings in Monday's loss to Houston. He struck out one and did not factor in the decision. Taillon got off to a rocky start Monday, yielding all four runs in the first inning. He gave up five hits in the frame, including a two-run double by Jose Abreu. Taillon then settled in for 3.2 scoreless innings to limit the damage. His ERA jumped to 6.66 with a 26:7 K:BB through 24.1 frames. He's projected to take the mound in Philadelphia this weekend....

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Doesn't last long Tuesday
Taillon allowed four runs on five hits across 2.2 innings and did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cardinals. He walked two and struck out five. The five strikeouts are the only positive here, as Taillon otherwise struggled mightily before getting pulled after tossing 69 pitches. The righty has gone a total of 5.2 innings in two starts since returning from the injured list May 4, and his ERA now sits at an ugly 6.41. This certainly isn't what the Cubs had in mind when they paid Taillon $68 million over four years in the offseason. He'll look to get on track in his next start, which should come early next week against Houston.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jameson Taillon: No-decision in return
Taillon didn't factor in the decision during Thursday's loss to the Nationals after he allowed three runs on three hits and no walks over three innings. He struck out four. The 31-year-old was sidelined the past couple weeks by a groin strain, but he rejoined Chicago's rotation Thursday and threw just 42 pitches. The only damage against him came via a three-run homer by Lane Thomas during the second inning. Taillon returned from the injured list without a minor-league rehab assignment, so he should remain on a limited workload for his next couple starts as he builds back up his arm.... See More ...

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Activated for Thursday's start
Taillon (groin) was activated from the 15-day injured list by the Cubs on Thursday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Taillon will rejoin the Cubs' rotation Thursday versus the Nationals after missing the last two weeks with a strained left groin. The big right-hander will be skipping a rehab assignment, so it's possible he won't be ready for a full workload.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Starting Thursday
Taillon (groin) will be activated from the 15-day injured list and start Thursday against the Nationals, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. Cubs manager David Ross dismissed the idea of a Thursday return for Taillon on Monday, but he seems to have changed his mind. The 31-year-old righty will skip a rehab stint and make his first appearance since landing on the injured list with a left groin strain April 20. Taillon holds a 4.50 ERA and 1.36 WHIP through 14 innings this season.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Possible for Thursday return?
Cubs manager David Ross was noncommittal Wednesday when asked whether Taillon (groin) might be activated to start Thursday versus the Nationals, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. Ross ruled out the idea Monday, but that was before Taillon threw a successful 45-pitch simulated game Tuesday in Washington. "Oh, I don't know," the skipper said Wednesday at Nationals Park. "We'll see." Taillon, 31, has been on the injured list since April 20 because of a left groin strain.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Throws simulated game
Taillon (groin) threw a 45-pitch simulated game Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. It might have been the final step of side work for Taillon before he is cleared to embark on a minor-league rehab assignment, though there's also a chance that he is allowed to skip a rehab stint altogether. The 31-year-old right-hander landed on the injured list April 20 because of a left groin strain. Caleb Kilian filled his rotation spot last week before getting optioned back to Triple-A Iowa....

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Throwing again Tuesday
Taillon (groin) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports. The upcoming side session marks Taillon's second since he was placed on the 15-day injured list April 20 with a left groin strain. Though the Cubs were initially optimistic that Taillon would be ready to come off the IL when first eligible -- which would have been Tuesday -- the right-hander instead looks like he'll remain on the shelf for another week. The Cubs turned to Caleb Kilian over the weekend to replace Taillon in the rotation, but because Kilian has since been optioned to Triple-A Iowa, the team will likely call up another pitcher to fill Taillon's next turn through the rotation, which comes up Thursday in Washington....

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Throwing off mound Saturday
Taillon (groin) is throwing a bullpen session Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports. There is no public timetable yet, but Taillon continues to take positive steps forward and seems likely to be ready to return to the Cubs' active roster by the middle of May if he can avoid setbacks. The right-hander has been sidelined for a little under two weeks with a mild-to-moderate left groin strain. Caleb Kilian is filling his rotation spot Saturday at Miami.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Advances to long toss
Taillon (groin) will advance to long-toss throwing Thursday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports. Taillon is making steady progress in his recovery from a mild-to-moderate left groin strain and could return to the Cubs' starting rotation in early May if all continues to go well. The 31-year-old had a 4.50 ERA and 16:4 K:BB through 14 innings (three starts) for Chicago before he landed on the injured list April 20.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Plays catch again Wednesday
Taillon (groin) played catch again Wednesday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports. Taillon already has multiple flat-ground throwing sessions under his belt and could perhaps soon advance to mound work. He landed on the 15-day injured list April 20 due to what's being called a mild-to-moderate left groin strain. If all continues to go well, the 31-year-old right-hander should be ready to rejoin the Cubs' rotation in the early part of May.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Plays catch
Taillon (groin) played a light game of catch Thursday and will do so again Friday, Ryan Herrera of AllCHGO.com reports. Taillon landed on the injured list Thursday with a mild-to-moderate left groin strain. That he's already playing catch is a good sign and would seem to indicate he could return around the time he's first eligible.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Lands on IL with groin strain
Taillon was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a left groin strain, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports. Taillon was scheduled to start for the Cubs in Thursday night's series opener against the Dodgers, but he'll now miss at least two turns in the rotation. It's being called a "mild to moderate" groin strain, which indicates a return when eligible in early May could be possible. Javier Assad has been called up from Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move and will serve as the spot starter Thursday versus Los Angeles.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Limited support in strong outing
Taillon pitched five scoreless innings against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out seven batters. He did not factor in the decision. Taillon recorded easily his best start of the campaign, as he allowed a combined seven earned runs over nine innings across his previous two outings. The right-hander held the Dodgers to just four baserunners on two singles and two walks, and he exited after five frames with a 1-0 lead. However, the Cubs offense couldn't produce any more runs, and Taillon had to settle for a no-decision when Los Angeles notched a walkoff win in the ninth. Nonetheless, this was a promising start for the veteran hurler, who now holds a 4.50 ERA across 14 innings on the campaign.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Fans seven in loss
Taillon (0-2) allowed five runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk over five innings Sunday, striking out seven and taking a loss against the Rangers. Most of the damage against Taillon came during Texas' four-run second inning, though two were counted as unearned runs. He then gave up one more run in the fourth. Taillon forced just five whiffs but improved his season K:BB to 9:2 through nine frames. He's lined up for a road matchup with the Dodgers next weekend.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Takes loss in team debut
Taillon (0-1) allowed three runs on seven hits across four innings to take the loss Sunday against the Brewers. He walked one and struck out two. Taillon wasn't particularly sharp in his Chicago debut, and the righty was lifted after just 63 pitches and four innings of work. He didn't allow any home runs but also didn't miss many bats and was just generally too hittable. Taillon should be better than this moving forward, though, after posting a 3.91 ERA and 1.13 WHIP last season with the Yankees. He'll get a chance to rebound in his next scheduled outing Saturday against the Rangers.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Set to debut Sunday
Taillon is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Brewers. It seemed like Taillon would be the team's No. 2 starter behind Marcus Stroman to begin the year, but it will be Justin Steele starting Saturday, followed by Taillon on Sunday. Taillon should still be a rotation mainstay all season after agreeing to a four-year, $68 million contract with the Cubs back in December. The righty posted a 3.91 ERA across 177.1 innings with the Yankees last season.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Should be No. 2 starter
With Marcus Stroman set to start Opening Day, Taillon figures to slot in as the Cubs' No. 2 starter to begin the regular season. Stroman getting the ball on Opening Day isn't a surprise, and it should set up Taillon as the team's second starter, with Justin Steele to follow. Taillon signed a four-year, $68 million contract with the Cubs back in December after posting a 3.91 ERA across 177.1 innings with the Yankees last season.... See More ... See Less
