PITTSBURGH – Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon felt what he called a “little tweak” Tuesday in his back while he was warming up for his scheduled bullpen session in between starts.
It wasn’t nearly as bad as the back injury he sustained in spring training, which kept him in bed for three days and delayed his progression enough to land him on the IL to begin the season.
“But enough to say something and try not to push through that day,” Taillon said.
He was originally lined up to pitch Friday, in the Cubs’ series opener against the Pirates.
