News
	Eovaldi has a 4.26 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 77:20 K:BB across 80.1 innings over 13 starts this season and has allowed at least four earned runs in each of his last three outings. Four scoreless innings Tuesday against Kansas City gave way to a Jac Caglianone solo homer in the fifth, and the sixth inning produced two doubles and a triple before Eovaldi was pulled with two outs and charged with three more runs. Bruno Mulé Wed, Jun 10th	The Cubs placed RHP Jameson Taillon on the 15-day injured list with a left hamstring strain. Ari Koslow Tue, Jun 9th
	Eovaldi has a 4.10 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 74:17 K:BB across 74.2 innings this season and faces Kansas City in his next start. Tuesday marked his seventh consecutive start completing six innings, though a season-high 11 hits accompanied the outing. Bruno Mulé Wed, Jun 3rd	Jameson Taillon exited his start against the San Francisco Giants Sunday night due to a left hamstring strain according to Jesse Rogers. Chris Schommer Sun, Jun 7th
	Eovaldi has allowed 13 home runs across 68.2 innings and 11 starts this season, posting a 1.7 HR/9 rate. Thursday's outing was his third start allowing multiple homers and snapped a streak of four consecutive quality starts. He lines up for a road start against the Cardinals next week. Bruno Mulé Fri, May 29th	Jameson Taillon was charged with two runs on six hits in 6.1 innings on Tuesday, but suffered a 2-1 loss to the Athletics. David Leisering Tue, Jun 2nd
	Nathan Eovaldi allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over seven innings in Saturday's loss to the Angels. Chris Schommer Sun, May 24th	Jameson Taillon allowed four runs on eight hits in 4.2 innings on Friday as the Cubs suffered a 4-2 loss to the Astros. David Leisering Fri, May 22nd
	Nathan Eovaldi allowed five hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven scoreless innings in Sunday's 8-0 win over the Astros. Chris Schommer Sun, May 17th	Jameson Taillon allowed five home runs on Saturday and surrendered eight runs on eight hits over five innings in the Cubs' 8-3 loss to the White Sox. David Leisering Sun, May 17th
Notes
	Nathan Eovaldi delivered one of the most dominant seasons of his career in 2025, posting a microscopic 1.73 ERA with elite run suppression backed by a .194 opponent average and a career-best 26.0% strikeout rate. Durability remains the primary concern entering his age-36 season, but 2026 projections still view him as a high-quality rotation anchor with strong ratios and solid strikeout volume when healthy. In fantasy formats, Eovaldi profiles as an SP2 whose value hinges on workload but whose efficiency can meaningfully outperform his draft cost. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
