"The Chicago Cubs open up their Cactus League slate on Friday against the White Sox, and, when they do, it'll be Jameson Taillon making the first pitch at Sloan Park. Jamo on the bump this Friday 🔥 pic.twitter.com/FAlJGyou27- Marquee Sports Network (@WatchMarquee) February 18, 2026 Taillon is leaving sometime after that to join Team Canada for the World Baseball Classic, so hopefully he's feeling good and steady after Friday's one or two innings."
