Jameson Taillon

Jameson Taillon had a rough outing in Wednesday's narrow 7-6 victory over the White Sox.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed five earned runs on ten hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings. Despite this shaky performance, Taillon's season ERA has risen to 3.47, and his WHIP now stands at 1.36. The uptick in hits allowed is concerning, especially given the ten hits in just five innings, which could indicate a trend that savvy fantasy managers should monitor. While his K/9 remains modest at 6.4, his ability to maintain a decent strikeout-to-walk ratio (2.69) still holds some appeal. However, fantasy managers might want to consider matchup-based decisions with Taillon moving forward, as his susceptibility to high hit totals could be a liability in tougher contests.

Taillon delivered a middling performance, allowing three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over six innings in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

This outing nudged his ERA up slightly, though it still remains an impressive 2.84 through eight starts. Despite the quality ERA, Taillon's low strikeout rate of 5.9 K/9 continues to limit his upside in fantasy formats that heavily reward strikeouts. His FIP at 4.09 suggests some potential regression, indicating that fantasy managers should keep expectations in check. Taillon's control remains a strong point, as evidenced by his 2.42 strikeout-to-walk ratio, but his limited ability to miss bats could be a concern if his BABIP of .277 starts to rise. Moving forward, Taillon remains a viable option in most fantasy leagues, particularly those that value ERA and WHIP, but he may not be a top-tier starter unless he can increase his strikeout totals.

Jameson Taillon allowed three earned runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out three over 5 2/3 innings in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

This outing marks a slight dip in Taillon's otherwise solid season, pushing his ERA up to 2.58 and his WHIP to 1.28. While his K/9 remains low at 5.9, his ability to limit walks and maintain a decent ERA has been a key to his success. However, fantasy managers should be cautious, as his FIP at 4.51 suggests potential regression. Moving forward, Taillon's value might hinge on his ability to sustain his control and limit hard contact, especially given his relatively high BABIP of .271.

Jameson Taillon (back) will start Tuesday vs the Braves.

Fantasy Impact

Taillon was scratched from his start on Friday due to back stiffness. The Cubs held out hope he would be ready to go on Sunday but opted to activate Kyle Hendricks and give Taillon a few more days to get right. Luckily, he will avoid another trip to the IL and will look to keep his recent hot streak up against the Braves.
