Chicago Cubs pitcher Jameson Taillon has been placed on the injured list due to a right calf strain and is expected to miss more than a month. He sustained the injury during wind sprints after a bullpen session. Taillon holds a 7-6 record with a 4.44 ERA this season. Jordan Wicks has been recalled to fill his roster spot, though the Cubs will employ a bullpen game initially. Chris Flexen is also a candidate for an expanded role after performing well in relief.
Jameson Taillon was placed on the injured list with a right calf strain and is expected to miss more than a month. Manager Craig Counsell confirmed the significant time loss.
Taillon recorded a 7-6 record with a 4.44 ERA in 17 starts this season. The Cubs are now planning to navigate without him and also recently welcomed back Shota Imanaga from injury.
Jordan Wicks has been called up to take Taillon's roster spot and will be initially used in a bullpen game against the Cardinals.
Chris Flexen has performed impressively out of the bullpen with a 0.62 ERA and is a candidate to take on a bigger role in the starting rotation.
