The Chicago Cubs designated Jameson Taillon for assignment on July 27 after he allowed seven runs in four innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This decision follows a string of poor performances, with Taillon struggling to a 5.92 ERA this season. He has not won a start since April 29 and has contributed to the Cubs' current playoff chase, sitting as the National League's top wild card team.
