Cubs Designate Jameson Taillon For Assignment; Promote Andrew Wantz
Taillon exits with a 5.38 ERA and 0.354 xwOBA across 15 starts, making room for Wantz—though Wantz's 27.00 ERA in 1.2 IP with 10.80 BB/9 suggests the move is organizational depth shuffling rather than rotation reinforcement. Chicago's rotation now leans on Imanaga (3.72 ERA) and Boyd (3.81 ERA) as reliable arms heading into the trade deadline.
