MESA - Chicago Cubs prospect Caleb Killian will be out until the All-Star break in July after being diagnosed with a teres major strain in his right shoulder, manager Craig Counsell announced on Thursday.

Killian, 26, left a spring outing this week, undergoing an MRI on Wednesday. It was determined he would take several months to heal.
