Cubs to be without Jameson Taillon until after All-Star break in latest blow to starting-pitching depth

The team is also dealing with injuries to Cade Horton, Justin Steele, and others, reducing starting-pitching depth. Recent returns like Matthew Boyd and improved performances from Javier Assad offer some optimism.
