WASHINGTON — Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon went through more than just a bullpen session Tuesday. He threw 45 pitches — some in the bullpen and some in simulated play on the field — along with fielding bunts and covering first base, according to pitching coach Tommy Hottovy.
It was a promising step for Taillon, who has been on the 15-day injured list with a strained groin for two weeks.
