Goes six scoreless in win Taillon (8-10) earned the win Friday, allowing four hits and four walks over six scoreless innings against Colorado. He struck out seven.

Impact Taillon didn't have his best command, but all four hits he allowed were singles as he kept the Rockies off the board in what wound up being a 6-0 shutout victory for the host Cubs. The 31-year-old right-hander lowered his ERA from 5.27 to 5.05 in the process and can look to push it below 5.00 in his final regular-season start next week at Milwaukee.

Next start pushed back Taillon is not scheduled to start during the three-game series with the Pirates that begins Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Taillon would have taken the ball against the Pirates had he remained on regular rest, but the Cubs announced their starters for the three-game set Monday, and Taillon was not among them. It remains to be seen if he will be pushed back or skipped altogether, but don't expect to see him on the mound until Friday at the earliest.

Takes 10th loss Wednesday Taillon (7-10) allowed five runs (three earned) on seven hits across five innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Rockies. He walked one and struck out five.

Impact Coors Field is a notoriously tough venue for pitchers, and Taillon was no exception, as he suffered a 10th loss in a season for the second time in his seven-year MLB career. The righty has disappointed in his first campaign with the Cubs, as he now has a 5.27 ERA after posting a 3.91 ERA for the Yankees in 2022. Taillon will look for better results in his next outing, which is tentatively set for Sept. 20 against the Pirates at home, which looks like an easier spot.

Allows two homers in loss Taillon (7-10) took the loss Wednesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk over five innings against Colorado. He struck out five.

Impact Taillon looked sharp early, retiring 10 of the first 11 batters he faced on the afternoon. However, he began to struggle as the game went on, surrendering five runs between the fourth and fifth innings -- though two of those runs wouldn't be charged to him on account of a fielding error by Ian Happ. The right-hander has now lost his last four decisions and has given up multiple home runs in three of his last four outings. On a positive note, he does hold a 26:2 K:BB over that stretch.

Twirls six shutout innings Taillon threw six scoreless innings with nine strikeouts but did not factor into the decision in Friday's loss to the Diamondbacks. He allowed one hit and one walk.

Impact Taillon stymied the Diamondbacks all Friday afternoon, completing his six shutout innings in a tidy 77 pitches. He generated 12 swings-and-misses. Those whiffs led to a 38.9% CSW rate on the afternoon, well above his 25.8% CSW rate on the season prior to this start. This outing was a welcome turnaround for Taillon after he posted an ugly 7.86 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 26.1 innings over his five prior starts.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gives up five in no-decision Taillon did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing five runs on seven hits over 5.2 innings against the Reds. He struck out seven.

Impact The Reds got to Taillon early, tallying four runs on three homers in the first two innings. The right-hander would ultimately settle down, however, holding Cincinnati off the board until the sixth inning. Following a four-start winning streak, Taillon's struggled of late, posting a 7.86 ERA over his last five starts. He's 7-9 on the season with a 5.73 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 113:33 K:BB across 25 starts (127.1 innings) this season. Taillon's currently in line for a home matchup with the Diamondbacks in his next outing.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Falters in ninth loss Taillon (7-9) took the loss against Milwaukee on Monday, allowing five runs (four earned) on nine hits and no walks while striking out six batters over six innings.

Impact Taillon got blitzed by the Brewers in the first frame, serving up a pair of homers -- including a leadoff shot by Christian Yelich on his third pitch of the game -- and four runs overall. He was better after that, giving up just an unearned run and five hits the rest of the way, but the initial inning was too much for the Cubs to overcome. Taillon has dropped three of his past four outings, posting a 7.84 ERA over 20.2 frames during that span. The poor stretch comes immediately after an impressive six-game run during which he went 5-0 with a 2.17 ERA across 37.1 innings.

Pitches decently in no-decision Taillon allowed four runs on four hits across 5.2 innings and did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Tigers. He walked one and struck out six.

Impact Taillon kept the Tigers off the board for five innings, but things came undone a bit in the sixth, as he allowed three singles followed by a grand slam from the red-hot Kerry Carpenter. That spoiled an otherwise good outing for the righty, who has been up and down this year with a 5.60 ERA. Taillon will look to avoid the big inning in his next start, which is tentatively set for Monday against the Brewers, which shapes up to be an important game as the teams fight for the NL Central title.

AUGUST 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Saddled with tough-luck loss Taillon (7-8) took the loss Friday, yielding four runs (two earned) on six hits against the Royals. He struck out three.

Impact It goes down as a quality start but is Taillon's second straight loss. This effort was indisputably better than the last one, though, with Taillon taking a lead into the sixth inning before serving up a two-run shot to Bobby Witt. The big right-hander has mostly been good since the start of July, although one really poor outing against the Blue Jays has skewed his numbers a bit.

Lit up for eight runs Taillon (7-7) took the loss Sunday, allowing eight runs on eight hits and two walks over three innings against Toronto. He struck out two.

Impact Taillon had performed very well over his previous six starts, allowing only nine earned runs over 37.1 innings. However, he nearly doubled that total on Sunday. Outside of a three-run home run by Dalton Varsho, the Blue Jays mainly nickel-and-dimed Taillon with seven singles and a couple of walks. He'll have a chance for redemption at some point next weekend in a home series against the Royals.

Dominant in win Taillon (7-6) earned the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits without walking a batter over seven innings against the Mets. He struck out seven.

Impact After surrendering a base hit to Jeff McNeil followed by a two-run shot from Pete Alonso in the first inning, Taillon allowed just one more baserunner and proceeded to retire the final 16 Mets he faced. The 31-year-old righty has now earned a win in four consecutive outings, posting a 2.28 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB across 23.2 innings during that stretch. Taillon will look to keep the win streak alive in his next start, which is projected to be early next week against the scuffling White Sox.

Continues to roll Thursday Taillon (6-6) earned the win over Cincinnati on Thursday, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five batters over five-plus innings.

Impact It wasn't the breeziest outing for the right-hander, as he notched just one 1-2-3 inning and needed 92 pitches to get through five-plus frames. However, Taillon got the job done, collecting his fourth win in his past five starts to get his record to .500 for the first time this season. The veteran hurler has turned things around since a poor July 2 outing against Cleveland that pushed his season ERA to 6.93 -- over his subsequent five starts, he's posted a 2.08 ERA over 30.1 innings despite a mediocre 23:10 K:BB. Taillon will look to keep rolling in his next start, which currently lines up to be a road matchup against the Mets.
