Wilk to start Saturday. I'm baffled why he's not the 26th man.

He is the 26th man - Heston is in AAA. This is a 40 man move to get Wilk on the 40 man roster.

I thought the rule was that the 26th man could only start game 2.

Per The Cub Reporter

 

"Beginning on MLB Opening Day up through August 31st, a club can temporarily add (recall or select) a 26th player to its MLB Active List on any day where two games are scheduled, as long as the second game was scheduled at least 48 hours in advance. If the second game was scheduled less than 48 hours in advance, a 26th man can be temporarily added to a club's MLB Active List for the second game of the doubleheader only.

 

The "26th man" must be on the club's MLB Reserve List (40-man roster) or has to be added to the club's 40-man roster that day.

The "26th man" does not have to be a pitcher."
