Cubs Designate RHP Jameson Taillon for Assignment
The reliever has been out since June 15, and manager Craig Counsell said he could be closer to live batting practice after a good day in rehab.
- On Monday, the Chicago Cubs designated pitcher Jameson Taillon for assignment while reliever Daniel Palencia moved closer to live batting practice after his Arizona rehab stint, per manager Craig Counsell.
- Taillon's 5.92 ERA and 25 home runs allowed in 15 starts forced the move. The pitcher acknowledged Sunday, "I'm hurting the team," after struggling significantly this season.
- Third baseman Alex Bregman sat out Sunday's series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates as a scheduled rest day. Team officials listed him as available with no injury reported.
- The Cubs called up minor league pitcher Andrew Wantz to fill the roster spot. Chicago now faces urgent pressure to acquire starting pitching before next week's trade deadline.
- Currently second in the National League Central, Chicago trails the Milwaukee Brewers by six games. Preseason models projected high-80s wins, a target the club is roughly matching amid rotation depth concerns.
