The Cubs lose their veteran starter to a left hamstring strain mid-rotation.
Jameson Taillon will miss time with a left hamstring strain and is not expected to return until after the All-Star break. The Cubs' 34-year-old starter has made six starts this season, posting a 2-1 record with a 4.41 ERA over 34.2 innings.
Taillon's absence removes a stable arm from Chicago's rotation during the stretch run to the trade deadline. The Cubs will need to cover his turns in the interim, likely through rotation adjustments or a call-up from the minors.
