WASHINGTON – Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon went through more than just a bullpen on Tuesday. He threw 45 pitches, some in the bullpen and some in simulated play on the field while also fielding bunts and covering first base, according to pitching coach Tommy Hottovy.
It was a promising step for Taillon, who has been on the 15-day injured list (strained left groin) for two weeks.
“Thought it was a really good workload,” Hottovy said before the Cubs’ 4-1 loss Tuesday to the Nationals.
