Cubs send Jameson Taillon to face Marlins in series opener

Right-hander Jameson Taillon will finally make his season debut on Friday when the host Chicago Cubs open a four-game set with the Miami Marlins. Taillon was originally supposed to pitch on Thursday, but with storms set to roll in, Chicago's game against Miami was postponed. After a strong season with the New York Yankees in 2022, Taillon took a step back with Chicago in 2023, going 8-10 with a 4.84 ERA.
