Jameson Taillon Tolerable in Cubs' Offensive Explosion
by Matthew Adam | Cubs Correspondent | Tue, Aug 27th 6:12am EDT
Jameson Taillon navigated through a high-scoring affair to earn a win, allowing four earned runs on eight hits while striking out three over 6.2 innings in Monday's 18-8 victory over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the chaotic run environment, Taillon managed to avoid issuing any walks, which helped him secure his ninth win of the season. His performance was somewhat mixed, as he did give up a considerable number of hits and runs, but his ability to avoid walks and limit further damage was crucial in such an offensive-heavy game. Moving forward, fantasy managers should note that while Taillon's ERA and WHIP remain respectable, his lower strikeout rate this season could limit his ceiling. However, his solid control and ability to manage games should keep him as a viable option in most fantasy formats.
