Cubs to recall Caleb Kilian to start Saturday vs. Marlins

MIAMI — Right-hander Caleb Kilian is set to make his 2023 debut on Saturday, when the Cubs plan to recall him from Triple-A to start against the Marlins.

Kilian was the obvious choice to fill the hole in the rotation left after Jameson Taillon (strained left groin) landed on the 15-day injured list last week. Javier Assad filled in last Thursday and isn’t yet eligible to be recalled unless he’s replacing a player headed to the IL or serving as the 27th man in a doubleheader. And Kilian has strung together strong starts in his last two outings, surrendering just one run in the two combined.
