Cubs DFA Jameson Taillon after rough outing against Pirates

The Chicago Cubs designated pitcher Jameson Taillon for assignment following his struggles in an 8-7 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 28. Taillon, winless in his last nine starts, was unable to avoid costly home runs. Meanwhile, the Cubs' offense featured multiple strong performances, including Pete Crow-Armstrong's standout weekend with a.500 batting average and significant contributions from Michael Busch, Pedro Ramirez, and Dansby Swanson. Shota Imanaga contributed with six scoreless innings on the mound. The Cubs will need to bolster their pitching staff as the trade deadline approaches.
