Availability
Jameson Taillon went 4.2 scoreless innings on Tuesday and allowed two hits and four walks while striking out three. The Angels went on to defeat the Cubs, 2-0.
Fantasy Impact
Taillon needed 85 pitches to get through 4.2 innings, but he was able to keep the Angels off the scoreboard. He ran into trouble in the fifth and left with two outs and the bases loaded after a walk, a double, and an intentional walk to Mike Trout. Lefthander Hoby Milner came on to retire left-handed hitting Nolan Schanuel to preserve the 0-0 score. Taillon went 11-7 with a 3.68 ERA in 23 starts with the Cubs a season ago. Chicago's rotation is quite deep and Taillon could be the best fifth starter in all of baseball this season.

Fantasy Impact
Cubs skipper Craig Counsell hasn't committed to any rotation order beyond Opening Day starter Matthew Boyd, but Taillon's spring usage and his work with Team Canada at the World Baseball Classic has him lined up to start the fifth game of the regular season. The veteran posted a solid 3.68 ERA across 23 starts for the Cubs in 2025.
