The Chicago Cubs have added starting pitcher Jameson Taillon to the injured list. He is dealing with a groin strain that is considered mild to moderate. In a corresponding move, Chicago has recalled SP Javier Assad from its Triple-A affiliate in Iowa. Assad figures to take over for Taillon in the rotation, but if he struggles, the Cubs could make some moves to switch things up until Taillon can return.
Cubs: RHP Jameson Taillon to 15-day IL with “mild to moderate” left groin strain. RHP Javier Assad will be recalled from @IowaCubs to start today vs. Dodgers.
