Jameson Taillon Will Play Catch This Weekend
6 years agoPittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jameson Taillon (elbow) is expected to play catch this weekend, marking the first time that he has done so since early May. While him tossing the ball is encouraging, the big right-hander is probably still at least a couple of weeks away from returning to action. If everything goes well, Taillon, who is currently on the 60-day injured list with a flexor strain in his right elbow, will likely throw a simulated game and then go on a rehab assignment before pitching for the Pirates. The 27-year-old has been up and down this year, posting a 2-3 record with a 4.04 ERA and 1.13 WHIP. He has thrown more than 90 pitches just once in his seven outings this season.

Jameson Taillon Shuts Out Reds Over Seven Innings
6 months agoChicago Cubs starting pitcher Jameson Taillon tossed seven innings of shutout ball in Friday's 1-0 victory over the Reds, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out two. The outing was his fifth consecutive quality start and caps off an outstanding month of September for the 32-year-old, going 3-0 with a 0.84 ERA and 0.84 WHIP. It was a solid season overall for the veteran, going 12-8 with a 3.27 ERA (4.29 SIERA), 1.13 WHIP, and a 13.6% K-BB%. The underwhelming strikeout totals depress his fantasy stock a bit, but he should be a decent back-end rotation piece for fantasy next season.

Jameson Taillon Strong On Friday, Picks Up Win
7 months agoChicago Cubs starting pitcher Jameson Taillon pitched six strong innings and picked up the win on Friday in the Cubs' 3-1 victory over the Washington Nationals. Taillon struck out four and gave up just two hits while improving his record to 11-8 on the season. The 32-year-old has bounced back strong this season after a down year in 2023, improving his ERA from 4.84 to 3.41 with today's performance. It also marked Taillon's fourth straight quality start. Fantasy managers that need help to finish the season certainly should be getting Taillon into their lineups. Though the right-hander has a 3.98 xERA to go along with his 3.41 ERA, he has been able to get reliably consistent results throughout the season. He'll finish 2024 with his final scheduled start on Wednesday when the Cubs finish a three game series against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.

Jameson Taillon Takes Hard-Luck Loss On Tuesday
9 months agoChicago Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon pitched well but took the loss in a 1-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday. Taillon tossed 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball while allowing four hits, walking three, and striking out three but saw his record drop to 7-5 on the season. The veteran hurler has been solid for the Cubs this season, posting a 2.96 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 78 strikeouts over 100 1/3 innings of work. While he isn't a major source of strikeouts, Taillon is a strong mid-rotation fantasy starting pitcher thanks to his low ERA and WHIP. He will look for his eighth win next time he takes the mound, which will be Monday against the Cincinnati Reds.

Jameson Taillon Picks Up Win Tuesday Night
9 months agoChicago Cubs starting pitcher Jameson Taillon (5-4) picked up the win and a quality start Tuesday night, going six innings while allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with seven strikeouts in a 9-2 victory versus the Baltimore Orioles. Taillon continues his excellent run in his second year with the Cubbies. Last year, he produced a forgettable 4.84 ERA in 30 starts but he's posted a sparkling 2.99 ERA in 15 starts this season. Since giving up five earned runs in five innings pitched to the Chicago White Sox back on June 5, Taillon has hurled six straight quality starts against some talented lineups like the Phillies and Orioles. Fantasy managers can look forward to Taillon's next start on Sunday versus the St. Louis Cardinals, a team in which he's already thrown 11 2/3 innings against with only five earned runs allowed.
