The 34-year-old Taillon also struck out six and walked two in
his first big league start since June 7. He threw 46 of his 75
pitches for strikes.
Trent Thornton came in to pitch the 10th for Chicago, but the
right-hander was helped off the field after he was struck on his
lower left leg by Riley Greene’s 108.9 mph comebacker.
“Trent's got a left heel contusion,” manager Craig Counsell
said. “The X-rays were negative. I guess the heel's a little
tricky on X-rays, so we'll have to see how he's doing tomorrow.
He's limping pretty badly right now.”
Chicago also added Aaron Civale to its 26-man roster two days
after it acquired the right-hander in a trade with the
Athletics. Left-hander Drew Pomeranz was designated for
assignment.
The 33-year-old Maton is 0-1 with a 6.18 ERA in 31 appearances
during his first season after signing a $14.5 million, two-year
contract with the Cubs in free agency. It's his third IL stint
this year for right knee tendinitis.
Maton worked the eighth inning in Sunday's 10-1 victory over
Minnesota, allowing one run and two hits.
“Symptoms again yesterday, did an MRI because of the symptoms,”
Counsell said before the loss to the Tigers. “And the news is
not, it’s not great. We're going to get some more opinions and
see what that means. But we’re looking at a little bit more
extended absence here.”
Chicago acquired Civale and cash from the A's for minor league
right-hander Aiden Moffett on Saturday. Civale also pitched for
the Cubs last year, going 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA in five
appearances.
