Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Pitches well in no-decision
Taillon allowed one run on three hits across five innings and did not factor into the decision during Sunday's 3-2, 11-inning loss to the Diamondbacks. He walked two and struck out six.
Taillon pitched well enough to deserve his second win of the season but didn't receive enough run support to escape his third straight no-decision. The veteran righty allowed six runs over 4.1 innings in his first start of the year, but since then, he's allowed only eight runs across 22.1 innings while striking out 23. Taillon seems to be rounding into form, and he'll look to keep pitching well in his next scheduled start, which is penciled in for next Sunday against the Phillies, as the Cubs only play five games in the coming week.

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Let down by bullpen Monday
Taillon pitched 5.1 innings against the Padres on Monday, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four batters in a no-decision.
Taillon served up a solo homer to Fernando Tatis in the third inning but carried a 3-1 lead into the sixth. He was pulled with one out in that frame after issuing a walk to Manny Machado, and the Cubs' bullpen subsequently allowed four straight batters to reach base as San Diego tied the score. Despite the disappointing ending, it was still a promising outing for Taillon, who logged his third straight start of three or fewer runs. His ERA on the season still stands at a middling 5.40, but that's largely due to a six-run, 4.1-inning disaster in his season debut against Arizona on March 28.

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Settles in for quality start
Taillon didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rangers after allowing three runs on five hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out six.
After allowing Jonah Heim to plate a pair of runs on a single in the second inning, Taillon served up a solo homer to Wyatt Langford in the third frame. Despite the early struggles, the veteran right-hander settled in to throw three scoreless innings thereafter to register a quality start and was in line for the win before the Cubs relinquished a 6-3 lead in the eighth. Taillon will take a 6.06 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB over 16.1 innings (three starts) into a tougher matchup in San Diego for his next scheduled start, which is tentatively set for early next week.

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Fans seven in quality start
Taillon (1-1) got the win Wednesday against the Athletics. He allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out seven across six innings.
It was a nice bounce-back performance for Taillon after he got knocked around for six runs in his first start against the Diamondbacks on Friday. His lone blemish came in the third inning when he gave up a two-run home run to Brent Rooker, but Taillon proceeded to retire 10 of the next 13 batters (including five strikeouts) and finished the game with 19 whiffs across 94 pitches. Taillon's next start is tentatively slated for next week at home against the Rangers.

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Hit hard in Friday's loss
Taillon (0-1) took the loss Friday, giving up six runs on nine hits over 4.1 innings as the Cubs fell 8-1 to the Diamondbacks. He struck out one without walking a batter.
Six of the nine hits off the right-hander went for extra bases, including a pair of homers by Eugenio Suarez. Taillon left the mound after 80 pitches (53 strikes), and his 2025 campaign is off to a much bumpier start than his 2024 season -- he allowed three earned runs total over his first four outings last year. Taillon will look to bounce back in his next start, which lines up to come on the road next week against the Athletics.

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Not available for Tokyo series
Taillon traveled with the team to Tokyo but isn't listed on the 26-man roster ahead of the two-game series against the Dodgers, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The Cubs sent out an updated roster after mistakenly including the right-hander on the Tokyo series roster, per Lee. Taillon will be officially added to the 26-man roster following the conclusion of the series due to the unique rules established for this two-game set. The right-hander started an exhibition game Sunday against a team from Nippon Professional Baseball and wouldn't have been available to pitch regardless of his roster status.

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Sharp in Sunday exhibition
Taillon allowed one run on four hits and two walks across 4.1 innings in Sunday's exhibition game against the Yomiuri Giants. He struck out four.
With the Cubs set to take on the Dodgers in Tokyo during a two-game set March 18-19, Taillon and his teammates got the opportunity to first play an exhibition game against a team from Nippon Professional Baseball. The veteran righty looked sharp as he tunes up for his regular-season debut. That figures to come later this month after the short series in Tokyo, as Shota Imanaga and Justin Steele are slated to start those contests for Chicago. Taillon projects as a solid if not spectacular fantasy option in 2025 serving as the Cubs' No. 3 starter.

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Hoping to regain some velocity
Taillon, who saw his average fastball velocity dip as the 2024 season went on, is hoping improved health helps him dial the pitch up some in 2025, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Taillon saw his four-seam fastball drop from an average of 93.2 mph in April last year to 92.2 mph in September, giving him a career-low mark of 92.4 mph overall. Along with the reduced velocity, the veteran also generated a career-low 6.8 K/9. The righty said back issues he dealt with during the season may have played a part, though he still managed to log a respectable 165.1 innings and turn in a 3.27 ERA, his best mark since his 2018 campaign with the Pirates. If Taillon stays healthy and regains a little zip on his fastball, he could be primed for a jump in strikeouts and another productive season in 2025.
