Chicago White Sox right-hander Chad Kuhl has been tasked with a spot start on Thursday versus the visiting Atlanta Braves. Kuhl was called up by the White Sox on June 14, but all three of his appearances came out of the bullpen. In his last appearance on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers, the 31-year-old threw 4 1/3 innings of long relief, giving up two earned runs on six hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out seven. Kuhl has allowed six earned runs on eight hits while walking five and fanning 11 in his three relief appearances for the Sox this year. At Triple-A Charlotte, Kuhl went 1-3 with a 4.34 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with 42 strikeouts and 33 walks in 56 innings over 13 outings (11 starts). He holds a career 5.00 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with a mediocre 20% strikeout rate in eight big-league seasons and makes for a desperation fantasy streamer on Thursday.
The Chicago White Sox signed free-agent right-hander Chad Kuhl to a minor-league deal. The rebuilding White Sox are looking for as much pitching depth as they can get. Kuhl will hope to be better in 2024 after posting an 8.45 ERA (6.78 FIP) and 1.96 WHIP with a save, 28 walks and 31 strikeouts in 16 appearances (five starts) covering 38 1/3 innings at the major-league level for the Washington Nationals last season. The 31-year-old will most likely begin the year pitching for Triple-A Charlotte. Kuhl will not be anywhere near the fantasy radar. In his seven major-league seasons with the Nationals, Pittsburgh Pirates and Colorado Rockies, he has a 4.98 ERA (4.89 FIP) and 1.48 WHIP with 536 K's and 281 walks in 615 innings over 143 outings (116 starts).
The Washington Nationals requested unconditional release waivers on right-hander Chad Kuhl on Monday. The team also recalled relief pitcher Amos Willingham from the minors ahead of the series opener against the Seattle Mariners. Kuhl was designated for assignment on Saturday and wasn't claimed on waivers. He'll head back to the free-agent market after inking a minor-league deal with the Nats in February. The 30-year-old veteran struggled in 16 appearances (five starts) in the big leagues this year, going 0-4 with an 8.45 ERA, 1.96 WHIP and 31 K's in 38 1/3 frames. Willingham, 24, gets his first big-league call-up after sporting an impressive 1.90 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, five saves and 25 strikeouts in 23 2/3 relief innings at Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester.
Washington Nationals right-hander Chad Kuhl, who recently moved to the bullpen, earned his first career save on Friday when his team beat the Kansas City Royals 12-10. He recorded the final five outs of the game, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out two. Over seven appearances and five starts, Kuhl owns an 8.06 ERA, 1.79 WHIP, and 18.3% strikeout rate over 25.2 innings. Both Kyle Finnegan and Hunter Harvey pitched in back-to-back contests before Friday, so it wasn't surprising that they got the day off. Kuhl remains irrelevant in fantasy baseball and likely won't factor into many save situations going forward.
Washington Nationals right-hander Chad Kuhl (foot) was activated from the 15-day injured list. Kuhl has been out of commission since the end of April because of a right foot injury. The 30-year-old has appeared in five games this season, starting all of them and amassing an 0-2 record with a hideous 9.41 ERA. As a result, it's unlikely Kohl's status will impact many fantasy managers. That won't change unless he begins to play better. In a corresponding move, the team optioned pitcher Hobie Harris to Triple-A Rochester.
The Washington Nationals signed free-agent right-hander Chad Kuhl to a minor-league deal on Saturday that includes an invite to major-league spring training. The 30-year-old struggled with the Colorado Rockies last year and went 25-30 with a 4.44 ERA in 100 games (84 starts) with the Pittsburgh Pirates before that. He'll give the Nationals more starting pitching depth. In his 27 starts for the Rockies in 2022, Kuhl produced a career-worst 5.72 ERA (5.26 FIP), 1.55 WHIP and weak 17.8 percent strikeout rate in 137 1/3 innings pitched. A right triceps strain put him on the injured list to close out last season, but he could see some spot starts for a rebuilding Nationals organization if he proves he's healthy early in 2023.
The Colorado Rockies reinstated right-hander Chad Kuhl (hip) from the 15-day injured list on Thursday and designated right-hander Robert Stephenson for assignment in a corresponding move. Kuhl is expected to rejoin the starting rotation to pitch against the New York Mets on Friday night. The 29-year-old missed three weeks due to a right hip strain, and he'll be extremely risky in fantasy lineups in his first start back against the Mets. He made one minor league rehab start for Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 20 and tossed five scoreless innings while striking out six. In 20 starts for the Rockies this year, Kuhl is 6-7 with a 5.16 ERA (5.22 FIP), a 1.52 WHIP and a 76:46 K:BB in 103 innings pitched.
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chad Kuhl turned in an excellent start in Monday's 4-0 win against the Dodgers. Kuhl carved through a tough lineup, turning in a complete-game shutout with three hits, no walks, and five strikeouts. The 29-year-old has produced good numbers overall this season, compiling a 5-5 record with a 3.49 ERA, 57 strikeouts, and 29 walks through 14 starts and 77 1/3 innings pitched. He will look to turn in another strong start in a much better matchup against the Diamondbacks on the road.
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chad Kuhl (hip) was coasting through his start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. Unfortunately, his hip flexor began to tighten up after the sixth inning. Rockies manager Bud Black sent him out for warm ups prior to the seventh inning, but decided not to push him. Kuhl pitched six scoreless innings in the game, allowing just two hits and one walk while striking out four. He has now allowed just one earned run over his first 10 1/3 innings of the year. If the injury doesn't keep him out, he'll make his next start on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers.
The Colorado Rockies agreed with former Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Chad Kuhl on an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to a source. Kuhl went from the starting rotation to the bullpen last year after a bout with COVID-19. In total, he went 5-7 with a 4.82 ERA and 1.43 WHIP while striking out 75 and walking 42 in 80 1/3 innings over 28 appearances (14 starts) for the Bucs. It's unknown if the Rockies view him as a starter or reliever, but he'll at least give them some options for the 2022 season. The 29-year-old shouldn't be an attractive fantasy option with his move to hitter-friendly Coors Field.
