Jameson Taillon's trip to the IL due to a hamstring strain is the latest blow to a Cubs team already struggling to find its footing, currently sitting at 34-31 and sporting a dismal -14 run differential over the past week. After a narrow 3-2 victory against the Giants, the Cubs remain in fourth place in the division, and the absence of Dansby Swanson is raising eyebrows as manager Craig Counsell opts for caution amid the short-term struggles. The rumors are swirling around potential trades, with the possibility of some surprising names leaving if the team can't turn things around quickly. With the Giants returning for another matchup, fans are left wondering if this squad can recover its momentum or if a significant shakeup is on the horizon.
