Some good Cubs pitching news: Steele has just a strain, and Taillon finally has a good start. And the Cubs won, too.
The Cubs -- reeling after a maddening May -- got some much-needed good news Friday when they learned starting pitcher Justin Steele has just a mild forearm strain.
Taillon, who was thought to be a huge addition to the staff when he inked a four-year, $68 million deal in December, has instead been a huge liability. He's looked nothing like the pitcher who went 51-35 with a 3.84 ERA for the Pirates and Yankees from 2016-22. by signing up you agree to our terms of service Apparently, that talk wasn't all hot air as Taillon's stuff was absolutely electric during the Cubs' 2-1 victory over the Padres. He needed just 7 pitches to complete the first inning, 12 in the second and 18 in the third.
