SAN FRANCISCO – Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon didn’t quite pass tests on his hurt left groin Wednesday afternoon.

With the injury wrapped, he said he didn’t feel it at all throwing off a mound. But in the weightroom beforehand, without the support of a wrap, he felt minor discomfort on some exercises.

“If this were the playoffs and I had to take something and wrap it, we’re going right at it,” Taillon said.

But the Cubs have about a month left in the regular season before what they hope will be a deep playoff run.
