Brandon Hughes On The Shelf Again
2 years agoThe Chicago Cubs placed left-hander Brandon Hughes (knee) on the 15-day injured list on Saturday and recalled right-hander Caleb Kilian from Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move. Kilian was then optioned to Iowa on Sunday after making a spot start against the Marlins on Saturday to make room for left-hander Ryan Borucki. Hughes started the season on the injured list due to left-knee inflammation before issues with the knee arose again. He had a 3.18 ERA with nine strikeouts and two walks in 5 2/3 relief innings before going on the IL for a second time. Hughes will rest some more while working to adjust to a bulkier knee brace to help manage the issue when he's activated again.
