Cubs' Jameson Taillon sidelined until after All-Star break with hamstring strain

Chicago Cubs starter Jameson Taillon is expected to miss time until after the All-Star break due to a strained left hamstring. Taillon exited in the second inning of his recent game against San Francisco and was placed on the 15-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Manager Craig Counsell mentioned Taillon's absence compounds the challenges for a pitching staff already dealing with injuries to multiple starters. The Cubs activated outfielder Matt Shaw from the 10-day IL as part of a series of roster moves in response to the injury. Shaw's return follows a brief absence due to back tightness.
