## Resource

Jameson Taillon’s brief outing against the Giants ended early due to a hamstring issue, clearing the way for Javier Assad to shine—pitching six innings, allowing just one hit and no runs. The Cubs had been preparing for this scenario, with manager Craig Counsell hinting at Assad’s role as a contingency plan. Despite Assad’s strong performance, the Cubs fell to the Giants 2-1 in extra innings, while Taillon’s injury status remains unclear amid a crowded injury list.
