Chicago Cubs activate Jameson Taillon, add Aaron Civale, and put Phil Maton on IL

Jameson Taillon Aaron Civale Phil Maton Chicago Cubs roster injured list

The Chicago Cubs activated right‑hander Jameson Taillon from the injured list, scheduling him to start the series opener against the Detroit Tigers. The move follows Taillon's recovery from a left hamstring strain that sidelined him since early June.

In a related transaction, Chicago acquired right‑hander Aaron Civale from the Oakland Athletics in exchange for prospect Aiden Moffett. Civale, who pitched briefly for the Cubs last season, is expected to bolster a pitching staff plagued by injuries.

Reliever Phil Maton was placed back on the 15‑day injured list with right‑knee tendinitis, marking his third stint on the IL this year. Left‑hander Drew Pomeranz was designated for assignment to clear a roster spot for the new arrivals. The Cubs aim to narrow the NL Central gap with the Milwaukee Brewers as the season progresses.
