PHOENIX – It isn’t obvious what the Cubs will do to make room in their rotation for Jameson Taillon when he returns from the injured list next homestand.
Javier Assad and Ben Brown, who stepped in as starters when Taillon (strained back) and lefty Justin Steele (strained left hamstring) landed on the IL, have made it a hard decision.
