Cubs roster move: Caleb Kilian recalled, Brandon Hughes to injured list

Caleb Kilian, acquired from the Giants (along with Alexander Canario) for Kris Bryant at the 2021 trade deadline, made his MLB debut with some fanfare June 4, 2022 against the Cardinals. He threw five innings and allowed three runs, striking out six, a pretty good first appearance.

Starts two and three were... well, not as good, and Kilian returned to Triple-A Iowa with an ERA north of 10.

This year, Kilian’s overall numbers at Iowa (three starts, 7.15 ERA in 11u2153 innings) don’t look great, but those are skewed by one horrific start. In his last two outings Kilian has allowed just one run in nine innings.
