Moves to 60-day IL The Phillies transferred Kilian (oblique) to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Kilian initially landed on the injured list Aug. 10 with a left oblique strain, so his move to the 60-day IL will prevent him from returning before the end of the regular season. His place on the 40-man roster will be given to Jose Urquidy, who was claimed off waivers from the White Sox on Thursday.

Lands on IL with oblique strain The Phillies placed Kilian on the 15-day injured list Monday due to a left oblique strain, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Acquired from the Giants last Monday, Kilian made just four appearances with his new team before hitting the shelf due to the oblique injury, which he sustained on his final pitch of Sunday's 7-6 win over the Blue Jays in 12 innings. The Phillies recalled Chase Shugart from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to join the bullpen as a replacement for Kilian, who will be eligible for activation Aug. 25 but appears likely to miss more than the minimum 15 days.

Are The Phillies The Dodgers' Biggest Challenger? We Examine The NL Post-Deadline

Earns win, suffers injury Kilian (4-7) earned a win after he tossed one inning, allowing an unearned run on one hit in Sunday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Blue Jays, but he suffered an undisclosed injur...

Impact Kilian entered the contest with the game tied 5-5 heading into the top of the 12th inning. The automatic runner came around to score when the right-hander allowed Brett Bateman to lead off the frame with an RBI single, but Kilian was then able to induce a double play off the bat of Jesus Sanchez before getting Alejandro Kirk to pop out to end the inning. The Phillies would go on to score two runs in the bottom of the 12th, notching Kilian his first victory with the team and fourth overall on the year. On a less positive note, interim manager Don Mattingly noted that Kilian suffered an injury at the end of his outing, and that "it didn't look good." More information on Kilian's status will likely be provided in the near future.

Sent to Philadelphia in trade The Phillies acquired Kilian and Luis Arraez from the Giants on Monday in exchange for Ramon Marquez and Marty Gair, Jayson Stark of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kilian has had a breakout season out of the San Francisco bullpen, posting a 4.26 ERA and 53:20 K:BB over 44.1 innings, logging eight saves in the process. He's 29 and has a lengthy injury history, but the Phillies will bet on Kilian being a quality setup man for them down the stretch.

Blows save chance Kilian (2-5) allowed three runs on three hits and a walk while failing to record an outing, taking the loss and a blown save in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies.

Impact Kilian has three blown saves this season, and two have come during a six-appearance stretch in which he's allowed nine runs over 4.2 innings. The reliever's hold on the closing job for the Giants is likely weakening with each poor performance. He's now at a 4.74 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 47:18 K:BB through 38 innings this season while converting eight of 11 save chances and adding three holds. Given the Giants' poor placement in the standings, trusting Kilian or other relievers on the team for steady save chances is a risky fantasy strategy.

Picks up another save Kilian notched a save against the Rockies on Saturday, allowing one run on two this and no walks while striking out two batters over one inning.

Impact Kilian inherited a relatively easy opportunity, taking the ball with San Francisco up three runs in the ninth inning. The right-hander didn't have the smoothest outing, as a pair of singles resulted in a Rockies run and brought the tying run to the plate. However, Kilian was able to strike out Troy Johnson to extinguish the threat and send the Giants home with a win. Kilian recorded his fourth save over his past five outings and increased his total to eight saves on the campaign. It hasn't been seamless for Kilian -- he's given up six earned runs over that five-appearance stretch -- but he seems to have a fairly solid hold on San Francisco's closer role.

Clean inning for save Kilian struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Kilian allowed five runs over 1.2 innings across his last two appearances in June. He bounced back with a perfect inning Wednesday to picked up his seventh save of the season and his third in his last four appearances. The right-hander has a 4.00 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 43:17 K:BB over 36 innings. Kilian continues to operate as the Giants' closer, though he brings some risk in fantasy due to a high walk rate (4.3 BB/9).
