Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jameson Taillon exited Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants during the second inning due to an apparent injury, according to Bleacher Nation.
The right-hander signaled to the dugout and departed alongside team trainer Nick Frangella after walking the first batter of the second frame.
