Jameson Taillon | Fantasy Outlook

Hamstring strain clouds Jameson Taillon's outlook amidst a difficult stretch of performance on the mound.

The fourth-place Cubs are currently 34-32, but their rotation depth is tested as Jameson Taillon deals with a strained hamstring suffered on June 7. Before the injury, Taillon struggled with a 6.82 ERA and a 1.59 WHIP over his last six starts. He slots in as the fourth starter in Chicago's rotation, but his immediate availability is highly questionable.

While Taillon's recent 5.21 ERA over the last 14 days is discouraging, our models project a recovery to a 4.12 ERA and 1.19 WHIP rest-of-season. This rough patch is likely a fluke given his strong 3.65 ERA last season, but the hamstring issue makes him tough to trust until he proves healthy.

With Chicago heading to Colorado and San Francisco, Taillon has no scheduled starts this week. Even if he avoids a trip to the injured list, fantasy managers cannot risk starting him with zero projected appearances. Verdict: Sit.
