The Chicago Cubs placed Jameson Taillon on the injured list with a hamstring injury. The 34-year-old right-handed pitcher had been dealing with the injury before being sidelined.
Taillon has struggled in 13 starts this season, posting a 2-5 record with a 5.19 ERA across 67.7 innings pitched. He has struck out 59 batters while walking 23, maintaining a 1.30 WHIP. The veteran pitcher has allowed 65 hits and 39 earned runs in his 13 appearances.
The Cubs currently sit at 34-33 (.507), fourth in the NL Central and eight games behind the division leader. The team's pitching staff now has 13 pitchers on the active roster, along with five infielders, four outfielders, two catchers, and two designated hitters.
Taillon is tracking toward his 100th career win, currently sitting at 84 victories and needing 16 more to reach the milestone. The injury represents another setback for a Cubs rotation that has been searching for consistency this season.
