Apr 27, 2025; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago Cubs pitcher Jameson Taillon (50) throws the ball against the Philadelphia Phillies during the first inning at Wrigley Field. Mandatory Credit: David Banks-Imagn Images Chicago Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon was left to lament a porous performance in his most recent outing.
Fresh off allowing a career-high four homers, Taillon will look to keep the ball in the park on Wednesday as the Chicago Cubs vie for a three-game series sweep of the visiting Miami Marlins.
Prior to his generous outing against the New York Mets on Friday, Taillon (2-2, 4.53 ERA) had allowed six homers in his first seven starts of the season.
“Maybe (I’ll) just take the next couple of days to evaluate some of the game-planning and execution there,” Taillon said after the game, per the Chicago Sun-Times. “They jumped on some pitches. They also wasted and fouled off a lot of good pitches.”
All told, Taillon allowed six runs (five earned) on nine hits in a season-low four innings of a 7-2 setback to the Mets.
Taillon, 33, has fared significantly better in his career against Miami, going 3-0 with a 0.83 ERA in four starts.
The Cubs rebounded from a 1-4 stretch by winning the first two contests of the three-game series. Chicago followed up a 5-2 victory on Monday by rallying for three runs in the ninth inning to secure a 5-4 win on Tuesday.
Nico Hoerner had an RBI single before Justin Turner, batting just .169, ripped a two-run double to cap the late uprising on Tuesday.
“It’s why we play nine innings,” Turner told the Marquee Sports Network. “Quality at-bats up and down the lineup. … Nico obviously hits a bullet up the middle and gives me an opportunity to be the hero.”
Said Chicago manager Craig Counsell: “I’m happy for (Turner). It’s not fun watching a great player struggle. But he got a moment, and he did it.”
While the Cubs are back on the upswing, the Marlins have lost three in a row and 13 of their past 16 overall.
Left-hander Ryan Weathers (2024: 5-6, 3.63) will make his season debut after being sidelined with a left flexor muscle strain.
Weathers fared well in his third minor-league rehab start. Pitching with Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, he allowed just two hits over five shutout innings. He yielded two earned runs on four hits while striking out 13 in 10 2/3 innings in his rehab starts with Jacksonville and Single-A Jupiter.
Weathers, 25, owns a 1-2 record with an 8.27 ERA in five career appearances (four starts) against the Cubs.
On Tuesday, Kyle Stowers belted his team-leading eighth homer and pushed his club-best on-base streak to 12 games.
“He’s certainly a calming presence,” Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said of Stowers. “Big home run today to get us on the board, take an early lead. I think we’ve just seen that with Kyle, that his ability to just hang in there within a game and put together high quality at-bats.
“The steady presence with the way he handles himself and how he comes in each day, approaches the process and the preparation aspect of things. Kyle continues … every night to do something on either side of the ball that helps us.”

Dak Prescott on adding George Pickens; ‘We’re putting together a nice group of weapons’
Last week, new Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens called Dak Prescott a “very prolific” and “smart” quarterback. On Wednesday, Prescott shared his first public thoughts on Dallas trading for the former Pittsburgh Steelers top receiver.“We’ve connected,” Prescott said on 1310 The Ticket in Dallas. “I’m excited. You turn on the tape, you see a guy that can catch the football. You put the football anywhere in his vicinity, very strong hands, more than a 50-50 catcher. He thinks it’s his ball when it’s in the air. I’m excited for him. I know we needed some help at that position. I know that CeeDee (Lamb) needed some help. I think when you have a guy like that, it’s hard to double team two guys.Advertisement“And then when you have other guys, whether it be (Jake Ferguson), Jalen Tolbert, (Jonathan) Mingo, guys […]

FIA announces revisions to controversial F1 swearing penalty rules
The FIA, Formula One’s governing body, has made significant revisions to the controversial penalty guidelines regarding misconduct and swearing it introduced earlier this year.The FIA has made adjustments to an appendix of the International Sporting Code (ISC), and the changes range from reducing fines to recommending sporting penalties for competitors who show abuse toward officials. AdvertisementThe ‘base fine’ level for penalties handed out for infractions such as swearing in press conferences has been halved from €10,000 to “up to” €5,000 for most offences. The severe multipliers previously included for repeat offenses and higher championships (such F1) are effectively gone. In other words, F1 drivers can no longer be fined up to €120,000 for repeat offenses, and any increased level of fine for such repetition would implemented on a case-by-case basis. If required, the stewards can increase fines by double or triple, […]
Georgia coach Kirby Smart addresses ‘misleading’ recruiting landscape after Jackson Cantwell loss
Getty Images HOOVER, Ala. -- A day after losing five-star offensive lineman Jackson Cantwell in the last hour to Miami, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart decried the current uncertainty surrounding college football recruiting.Smart was deep in the heart of Alabama on Wednesday for the annual Regions Tradition Pro-Am less than 24 hours after Cantwell, a top-10 player in 247Sports' 2026 rankings, picked the Hurricanes over his Bulldogs. The 6-foot-7.5, 325-pound offensive tackle made six trips to Georgia, including just last weekend, and was widely expected to pick Georgia before ultimately opting for Mario Cristobal's Miami program on Tuesday. Cantwell, who hired hired super agent (and Miami grad and resident) Drew Rosenhaus to handle his NIL negotiations last fall, had not visited Miami since March. Rosenhaus reportedly wanted to secure a three-year deal for Cantwell with an annual average value of more than […]
