MIAMI — Right-hander Caleb Kilian is set to make his 2023 debut on Saturday, when the Cubs plan to call him up 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.
