Jameson Taillon Heading to Injured List With Hamstring Strain
Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell said that right-hander Jameson Taillon (hamstring) will go on the 15-day injured list after straining his left hamstring in his outing on Sunday night at Wrigley Field against the visiting San Francisco Giants, according to Marquee Sports Network. Taillon only got through one inning on Sunday before being pulled, allowing an earned run on two hits while walking two and striking out two. It's unclear exactly how long Taillon might be sidelined, but he'll at least miss the next two weeks. The good news for the Cubs' injury-riddled starting rotation is that veteran left-hander Matthew Boyd (knee) is expected to return from his IL stint this coming weekend against the Giants. The 34-year-old Taillon isn't a must-hold in mixed fantasy baseball leagues now that he's injured. After his abbreviated start on Sunday, he is 2-5 on the year with a 5.19 ERA (6.31 FIP) and 1.30 WHIP with only 59 strikeouts and 23 walks in 67 2/3 innings. He's also allowed a league-high 20 home runs in his 13 starts.
