Cubs place Taillon on injured list with strained hamstring

The Chicago Cubs placed right-hander Jameson Taillon on the 15-day injured list Tuesday after he left Sunday's game against San Francisco in the second inning with a strained left hamstring. Taillon threw one inning, allowed a run, and departed with the injury. The team expects him to return after the All-Star break.

Roster adjustments The Cubs reinstated outfielder and infielder Matt Shaw from the 10-day injured list and recalled right-handers Ethan Roberts and Tyler Ferguson from Triple-A Iowa. They also optioned designated hitter Kevin Alcántara to Iowa and placed pitcher Trent Thornton on the paternity list.

Pitching depth The move adds to existing absences for the Cubs' pitching staff.

Matthew Boyd, Cade Horton, and Justin Steele remain unavailable. Boyd, the team's opening-day starter, is scheduled to pitch this weekend in San Francisco. "After the All-Star break, I think, would be what we're shooting for," manager Craig Counsell said before Tuesday's game.

242 with three home runs and 12 RBIs. "Ready to help in any way I can," Shaw said.
