He was 6-6 with a 3.45 ERA for the San Antonio Missions, walking 40 along with a .259 batting average against in 122.2 innings pitched. He earned the promotion from Class A Lake Elsinore last July and has a 3.76 ERA in 31 career games (30 starts) for San Antonio. He was selected in the fourth round of the June 2007 Draft by the Padres.
The Aeros roster is now at the full 24 men + 1 on rehab assignment.
Kluber will wear #33 and will look to snap Akron's four-game losing streak tonight at 7:00 p.m. at Blair County Ballpark against the Altoona Curve. Additionally, RHP Anthony Reyes is currently without a number.
