Cubs Activate Caleb Kilian, Option Him to Minors After Lengthy Injury
The Chicago Cubs have reinstated pitcher Caleb Kilian from the injured list after an extended recovery period. However, Kilian was immediately optioned to the minor leagues, signaling the team’s plans to allow him more time to refine his game before contributing at the major league level.
Kilian, a highly regarded pitching prospect, has been sidelined for several months with an undisclosed injury. His return to action is a positive step for the Cubs, who are keeping an eye on his development for the future. The 26-year-old right-hander is expected to rejoin the Cubs’ Triple-A affiliate, where he will focus on building up innings and regaining his form.
The Cubs’ decision reflects the organization’s long-term approach to Kilian’s role, ensuring he is fully prepared when the opportunity arises to rejoin the big-league roster.
