Kuhl was released by Atlanta on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl was off to a slow start with Triple-A Gwinnett, posting a 6.55 ERA and 1.73 WHIP with 18 strikeouts over 22.0 innings. He'll search for an opportunity elsewhere after being handed his release over the weekend.

Kuhl was reassigned to minor-league camp by Atlanta on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Feb. 5 after appearing in 31 games for the White Sox during the 2024 regular season, during which he posted a 5.06 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 53.1 innings. Kuhl will likely begin the 2025 campaign with Triple-A Gwinnett, but some strong minor-league outings could lead to him rejoining Atlanta in the majors.

Kuhl signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Wednesday, Aram Leighton of JustBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl finished 2024 with a 5.06 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 53.1 innings over 31 appearances with the White Sox, and his numbers in Triple-A weren't much better (4.34 ERA, 1.50 WHIP). He's likely to spend less time in the majors this season now that he's on an Atlanta pitching staff that boasts far more talent than Chicago's, though he could still make a few appearances as a long reliever throughout the season.

The White Sox released Kuhl on Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl is now a free agent after passing through waivers unclaimed. The veteran right-hander held a 5.06 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 54:25 K:BB across 53.1 innings for the White Sox.

The White Sox designated Kuhl for assignment Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Across 31 appearances with the White Sox, Kuhl turned in a 5.06 ERA and 1.52 WHIP alongside a 54:25 K:BB across 53.1 innings. Despite his poor numbers, he had been working in somewhat of a high-leverage role, though he only managed to log one save while playing with one of the worst teams in modern baseball history. His removal from the active roster will make room in the bullpen for Michael Soroka (shoulder), who returned from the injured list Saturday.

Kuhl allowed a solo homer and struck out two batters in one inning en route to earning a save over the Astros on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl coughed up a two-out homer to Jon Singleton but came back to strike out Jose Altuve and close out the 5-4 win. It was Kuhl's first save of the year and it came just two days after he was rocked for five runs by the Yankees. The White Sox don't have an active pitcher on the roster with more than two saves this season, so the ninth-inning situation still appears to be fluid. Kuhl owns a 5.03 ERA with a 35:19 K:BB through 39.1 innings this season.

Kuhl (0-1) took the loss Sunday against Pittsburgh, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts across four innings.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl was thrust into Sunday's contest in the third inning after Michael Soroka exited after throwing three pitches due to shoulder soreness. Kuhl surrendered a three-run home run to Joey Bart in the fourth inning and left the contest following the sixth inning as the White Sox trailed 4-3, resulting in the loss. Since being called up June 14, Kuhl has appeared in seven games and tossed 21.1 innings, compiling a 5.06 ERA and a 20:14 K:BB.

Kuhl tossed 4.1 innings out of the bullpen in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Guardians, striking out one batter while giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits and four walks.

EDGE Analysis

In his previous appearance June 27, Kuhl made his first start of the season with the White Sox, working three scoreless innings in a no-decision against Atlanta. Kuhl was merely getting a spot start amid a busy portion of the White Sox's schedule, as he returned to a mop-up role out of the bullpen a week later. With the Chicago rotation at full strength with the exception of Mike Clevinger (elbow) -- who appears close to a return from the injured list -- Kuhl isn't expected to get any chances to start again in the near future.

Kuhl did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing no runs on one hit and two walks over three-plus innings against Atlanta. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl pitched well, facing one batter over the minimum through his three innings. He then came out for the fourth but was pulled after allowing a leadoff double to Ozzie Albies. Kuhl, who had thrown 99 pitches in long relief Sunday, was making his first start since April of 2023. Thursday's outing doesn't appear to be anything more than a spot start for the 31-year-old righty, who will likely return to the bullpen.

Kuhl will start Thursday's game against Atlanta at Guaranteed Rate Field.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl had started in 11 of his 13 appearances at Triple-A Charlotte prior to being called up June 14, but his first three outings with the big club have come out of the bullpen. However, Kuhl covered 4.1 innings and 99 pitches in long relief while mopping up in Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Tigers, so even though he'll be pitching on three days' rest, he should be able to provide the White Sox with a decent amount of length in a starting role. Unless he impresses against Atlanta to earn himself a longer stay in the rotation, Kuhl will likely be moved back to the bullpen or sent to the minors after Thursday's start.
