Cubs prospect Caleb Kilian made his big-league debut June 4 and could return for another as soon as Wednesday with Wade Miley on the IL again.
Kilian’s schedule at Triple-A Iowa lines up for that spot, and he’s expected to get at least one or two of those starts. Swingman Alec Mills is another candidate.
Kilian retired nine straight to open his big-league debut June 4 against the Cardinals before allowing three in the fourth then regrouping to finish with a scoreless fifth. Meanwhile, veteran Kyle Hendricks returns to the rotation Tuesday at home after getting a prescribed break since his June 1 start because of shoulder fatigue following a short spring and heavy early-season workload.
Reliever Michael Rucker, who was optioned to Iowa on Friday, was recalled Saturday to rejoin the bullpen as the corresponding move to Miley going on the IL.
