2024 Fantasy Outlook
Fly ball pitchers can be successful provided they don't walk many hitters and punch them out at an above average clip. Taillon has never been dominant, but his low walk rate, and a low BABIP usually associated with a fly ball pitcher have helped him check in as a league average pitcher. Last season, things did not go as well as the Cubs hoped after they signed him to bolster their rotation. Taillon maintained a low walk rate, but his .292 BABIP was its highest since 2018. His 1.57 HR/9 was a new career worst. Granted his 4.84 ERA was about half a run higher than expected, but even so he was a disappointment. Taillon is embarking on the second season of a four-year, $68 million contract, so he'll be in the opening day rotation. Relying on a non-dominant fly ball pitcher is a slippery slope, which is why Taillon is best treated as a fantasy streaming option. Read Past Outlooks

Takes hard-luck loss
Taillon (7-5) allowed a run on four hits and three walks while striking out three over 7.1 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Brewers.
ANALYSIS
It's a harsh way for Taillon's three-start winning streak to end, as he didn't give up a run until the eighth inning. This also counted as his seventh quality start in his last eight outings, though he's been on the hook for a loss in three of them. Taillon has a 2.96 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 78:21 K:BB through 100.1 innings over 17 starts this season. He's projected for a road start in Cincinnati his next time out.

Taillon tied his career high with 32 starts while logging 177.1 innings, his second most ever. His strikeout rate dropped, but Taillon compensated with a 4.4% walk rate, its lowest since his rookie season. For the second straight year, a high number of flyballs led to an above average flyball rate, but the low walk rate along with the resultant low BABIP minimized damage. Taillon tweaks his pitch mix every year, reintroducing a cutter to increase his arsenal to six pitches. Taillon's two best offerings are a curve and slider, but he backed off usage of both, perhaps due to being a two-time Tommy John surgery recoveree. Unless Taillon is comfortable reworking his repertoire another year removed from going under the knife in 2019, home runs will remain an issue, although he gets a modest park upgrade after signing a four-year deal with the Cubs. His low strikeout rate is more akin to a fantasy streamer than staff anchor.

Houston now involved
The Astros have expressed an interest in acquiring Taillon from the Cubs ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, report Chandler Rome, Ken Rosenthal and Patrick Mooney of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Houston has dealt with a plethora of rotation injuries this season, and the group could certainly use some reinforcements after the club recently took over the division lead in the AL West from Seattle. Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer indicated this week the organization would be sellers at the deadline, and Taillon is likely the club's most valuable trade chip. The 32-year-old right-hander has a 2.96 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 78:21 K:BB across 100.1 innings this season, and he has two years and $36 million left on his contract after 2024.
