Butler was recalled from Triple-A Iowa and will start Friday's game against the Cardinals.

As expected, the 2012 Colorado first-round draft pick will head to the majors to fill the void in the rotation left by the injured Brett Anderson (back). Butler was outstanding in five starts with the I-Cubs this season, posting a 1.17 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 30.2 innings, and he'll look to carry that into Friday's start when he duels with St. Louis right-hander Mike Leake.
