Cubs fans maybe didn’t get the starting-pitching reinforcements they were hoping for at the trade deadline.
But reinforcements are coming to the Cubs’ starting staff, chiefly in the form of rehabbing righty Jameson Taillon, who will make his first rehab start with Triple-A Iowa on Sunday as he works his way back from a strained calf.
Much like fans weren’t jazzed about the trade-deadline import of right-hander Michael Soroka – who officially joined the active roster Saturday and will make his first start in a Cubs uniform Monday against the Reds – they’re unlikely to feel completely fortified on the starting-pitching front just because Taillon will be back as planned.
