5/12/24 Chicago Cubs to activate Kyle Hendricks from IL to start Sunday as Jameson Taillon’s start pushed back again. PITTSBURGH — Everything seemed aligned for right-hander Jameson Taillon to start the Sunday finale at PNC Park. He was originally supposed to take the mound Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, but his start was pushed back after he felt a tweak in his lower back while throwing a bullpen Tuesday. Taillon and manager Craig Counsell indicated Friday that if the pitcher got through his pregame ...

5/07/24 Chicago Cubs News: Ben Brown may be the savior the bullpen needs. It's not rare, much less unique, for a Major League Baseball team to be a tale of two teams. Generally speaking, that means that while the offense is incredible the pitching staff gives up too many runs or vice versa. What's a bit more rare is for a team to be as Jekyll and Hyde as the 2024 Chicago Cubs have been when comparing their starting pitching rotation to their bullpen. The Cubs have seen Jameson Taillon live up to his pre-2023 expectations, they've seen Hayden Wesneski and Javier Assad exceed their 2024 expectations, and they've seen Shota Imanaga look like a legitimate Cy Young candidate.

Author: Brad Wakai Apr 30, 2024 In this story: Chicago Cubs MLB Jameson Taillon Ahead of the 2023 season, the Chicago Cubs wanted to add high-profile players to their roster with the hope it would be enough to get them back into the playoffs.

For the most part, those deals worked out as Swanson became their star shortstop who was an All-Star and won his second Gold Glove award, while

4/16/24 Cubs have rotation decisions to make with Jameson Taillon nearing a return. It isn't obvious what the Cubs will do to make room in their rotation for Jameson Taillon when he returns from the injured list next homestand. Javier Assad and Ben Brown, who stepped in as starters when Taillon (strained back) and lefty Justin Steele (strained left hamstring) landed on the IL, have made it a hard decision. “Where I sit is that we have plenty of innings to cover and plenty of pitches to be thrown,” manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday, “where our job is to get outs and to just figure out a way to navigate through the game and get 27 outs.” Taillon is lined up to start Thursday against the Marlins at Wrigley Field.

3/30/24 Chicago Cubs poised for major additions based on MLB Trade Deadline prediction. There was an expectation heading into the season that the Chicago Cubs would likely be in the market for a starting pitcher at the Major League Baseball Trade Deadline in July. Steele was the one player on the Cubs' pitching staff that can't be replaced. As constructed on Opening Day, the Cubs' featured a starting rotation that if one squinted, they could faintly see the makeup of a post-season rotation depending on the productivity of Jameson Taillon and Shota Imanaga.

3/30/24 Timeline revealed for Jameson Taillon's return to Chicago Cubs starting rotation. Jameson Taillon's return to the Chicago Cubs starting rotation gained a level of importance after Justin Steele went down with a hamstring injury on Thursday. Steele was the one player on the Cubs' roster that could not be replaced. While the Cubs will need to try and tread water until he returns from his IL stint, Taillon's return to the Major League staff can not come soon enough.
