Cubs Designate Struggling Jameson Taillon for Assignment

The Chicago Cubs have designated veteran pitcher Jameson Taillon for assignment following a difficult season. Taillon has struggled significantly, posting a career-worst 5.92 ERA across 15 starts and allowing an NL-high 25 home runs. His departure comes one day after a poor outing against the Pirates where he surrendered seven runs in four innings. The team added Andrew Wantz to the roster as part of the corresponding transaction.
