Cubs designate veteran pitcher Jameson Taillon for assignment

The Cubs have taken the veteran right‑hander Jameson Taillon off the roster, designating him for assignment on Monday. Taillon struggled in his most recent outing, giving up seven runs over four innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The move reflects the club’s effort to reshuffle its rotation and give opportunities to younger arms. Taillon’s future now hinges on finding a new team through free‑agency.
