Kuhl (forearm) played catch from around 50 feet prior to Saturday's game against the Cubs, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl has now thrown on back-to-back days, which is good news for Pittsburgh. He's been on the disabled list with a forearm strain since June 29, and although the timetable for his return is still a bit murky, the Pirates are optimistic he could return prior to the conclusion of the 2018 campaign. The next step for Kuhl figures to be throwing off a mound.

Kuhl played catch Friday for the first time since suffering a strained forearm back in late June, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic Pittsburgh reports.

EDGE Analysis

If Kuhl progresses without setbacks, the team believes he'll be able to return to action sometime in September. Prior to the injury, the 25-year-old struggled to a 4.55 ERA in 16 starts.

Kuhl (forearm) will begin a throwing program during the Pirates' upcoming homestand, which begins Monday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl hit the disabled list in late June with a forearm strain and has remained shut down since then. The club believes he'll be able to get back up to speed in time to throw meaningful innings in September, but he'll have to progress smoothly without any setbacks for that to be a possibility.

Kuhl (forearm) was moved to the 60-day disabled list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Since Kuhl landed on the DL in late June, this move guarantees that he will remain sidelined until the end of August, as previously expected. The right-hander has yet to resume throwing after being shut down for four weeks starting July 11. That timeline indicates that he should be able to start a throwing progression next week if his forearm is no longer experiencing any discomfort.

Kuhl's second opinion on his right forearm/elbow confirmed the team's initial diagnosis and he will be shut down for at least four more weeks, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

If all goes according to plan, Kuhl will start a throwing program following the four-week mark, though this implies that he will be sidelined until the end of August since he will require at least a few weeks to get his arm back up to speed. Kuhl was initially placed on the DL with a strained right forearm in late June after leaving a start against the Mets. It appears as though this second opinion also confirmed that he will not require a surgical procedure, though that route could come back into play if the arm fails to heal properly. Look for an update on his status near the end of July.

Kuhl (forearm) will receive a second opinion on his strained right forearm, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl was diagnosed with the forearm strain earlier this week and was said to not require surgery, but will nonetheless seek an additional opinion while still indicating it's a precautionary move. The 25-year-old is currently eligible to come off the disabled list, but his recovery timeline remains obviously muddled.

Kuhl was diagnosed with a strained right forearm but will not need surgery, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic Pittsburgh reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl seems to have avoided serious injury, though his recovery timeline is still not clear. He had allowed 10 runs in six innings over his last two starts prior to hitting the disabled list.

The Pirates are still unsure as to the severity of Kuhl's (forearm) injury or how much time he might miss, 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh reports.

EDGE Analysis

Speaking on his weekly radio show, general manager Neal Huntington said Sunday that "our hope is that it will just be a flexor strain and with some rest, he'll be able to come back and be as good as new." Huntington added that Kuhl could still receive an MRI, but "that's not something appropriate for the club, in the modern-day medical environment, to discuss publicly." The fact that Kuhl pitched five days ago and the team hasn't given any specific news on his injury is not particularly encouraging.

Kuhl (forearm) was put on the 10-day DL on Friday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl was removed from Tuesday's game after the fourth inning due to right forearm discomfort, which will sideline the right-hander for at least one start. The Pirates have yet to remark on the severity of his injury, so expect an update on his status in the coming days. Either way, he will eligible to return next weekend when the club begins a 10-game homestand prior to the All-Star break. In a corresponding move, Max Moroff was recalled from the minors.

Kuhl left Tuesday's game with right forearm discomfort after throwing 73 pitches (40 for strikes) in four innings against the Mets, AT&T SportsNet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pittsburgh's team trainer came out to visit Kuhl during the fourth inning, but the righty finished out the inning. Kuhl, who was seen shaking his pitching arm, kept New York off the scoreboard after allowing two first-inning runs. The injury didn't appear to be serious, but forearm injuries often prove to be a precursor to more severe problems.
