Of the five Cubs starting pitchers from the first week of the season, one is out for the season, two are on the injured list and another appears headed for the dreaded list. Jameson Taillon left Sunday’s 2-1, 10-inning loss to the Giants in the second inning with a left hamstring strain. He will undergo an MRI today, but plans to spend time on the IL.

Cade Horton and Matthew Boyd are on the shelf with various injuries, while Edward Cabrera came off the injured list on Friday.
