The Chicago Cubs are in desperate need of starting pitching, even more after losing Jameson Taillon for the foreseeable future.

Chicago Cubs pitcher Jameson Taillon is expected to miss "more than a month" with a right calf strain, manager Craig Counsell told reporters on Friday.

The latest development for the Cubs is a calf injury to veteran right-hander Jameson Taillon sustained while running in a bullpen session, which Craig Counsell says is going to keep him out for at least a month.
