The Chicago Cubs are promoting left-hander Antoine Kelly for a weekend series against the Yankees, filling the roster spot of injured reliever Gavin Hollowell, who is sidelined with shoulder inflammation. Kelly, acquired in a cash deal from the Dodgers in June, boasts a 2.79 ERA and a 26.5% strikeout rate at Triple-A Iowa. His journey to the majors includes stints with the Brewers, Rangers, and Rockies. The Cubs have faced significant injury challenges in their pitching staff, with Hollowell being the latest casualty.
