## Resource

Jameson Taillon is close to returning from injury, throwing three innings in a rehab start and allowing just one run — with the Cubs eyeing one more minor league outing before he rejoins the rotation post-All-Star break. As a backup, he’s ready for a limited role if needed. Currently in Baltimore, Taillon’s progress is the most advanced among the Cubs’ 15 injured players. Meanwhile, other pitchers are inching forward: Daniel Palencia is symptom-free and throwing, Edward Cabrera is improving with running and throwing, Ben Brown is ramping up neck rehab, and Matt Shaw continues to recover from a hand sprain.
