The Cubs placed Taillon on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a right calf strain, and manager Craig Counsell said that the right-hander is expected to be sidelined for at least one month,
Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
AnalysisIt's unclear when exactly Taillon sustained the injury, but he surrendered 15 runs over his last three starts and failed to last five innings in any of those outings. The 33-year-old will be unavailable through at least the end of July but could be out longer, depending how his rehab progresses.
Jordan Wicks was recalled from Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move and could be in the mix to enter Chicago's starting rotation along with
Chris Flexen.
