Kuhl (triceps) signed with the Nationals as a non-roster invitee Saturday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl produced passable ERAs between 4.20 and 4.82 for five straight seasons in Pittsburgh between 2016 and 2021, but his ERA spiked up to 5.72 last season following a move to Colorado. The 30-year-old could have a path to a rotation spot should he recapture his previous form, though he'll also have to prove he's recovered from the right triceps strain which sent him to the injured list at the tail end of last season.

Kuhl was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right triceps strain.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old lined up to start Wednesday's season finale versus the Dodgers, but he'll instead finish the campaign on the injured list. It's unclear how the injury will affect Kuhl's offseason program as he's set to enter free agency. The right-hander had a 5.72 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 110:58 K:BB across 137 innings during 2022.

Kuhl (6-11) took the loss Friday versus the Dodgers, allowing six runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out two over 3.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl limited the damage to one run in the first three innings, but the Dodgers popped off in the fourth. Kuhl was responsible for five of the eight runs they scored in that frame, and the Rockies' offense never came close to competitive in the contest. He hasn't given up fewer than three runs in a start since shutting out the Dodgers on June 27, though the six runs he allowed Friday were the second-most in that 13-start span. He's at a 5.72 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 110:58 K:BB through 137 innings through 27 starts this year. The right-hander is tentatively lined up for another start versus the Dodgers next week, which would be his last of the campaign.

Kuhl (6-10) took the loss during Saturday's 9-3 defeat at the hands of the Padres, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 5.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl navigated the first and second innings unscathed before surrendering two runs on three hits in the third and another run in the fifth to fall in line for the loss. The 30-year-old has slumped through the entire second half and especially in September, permitting 19 runs in 25.2 innings across five appearances. He carries a 5.45 ERA and 1.51 WHIP into his next start, slated for next weekend against the Dodgers.

Kuhl didn't factor in the decision against San Francisco on Monday, allowing five runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out six batters over 4.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Colorado handed Kuhl a 6-2 lead through four frames, but he allowed San Francisco to score three times in the fifth and couldn't make it through that inning. It was the third time in the right-hander's last four starts that he failed to complete five frames, and he's posted a 7.20 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 0-2 record during that stretch. Kuhl also extended his streak of outings with at least one homer allowed when he served up a solo shot to Mike Yastrzemski in the fourth inning. The veteran hurler is on pace for a career-worst ERA as his mark sits at 5.48 through 25 appearances.

Kuhl (6-9) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over 6.1 innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl allowed three baserunners in the first inning which culminated in a three-run blast by Eloy Jimenez. After that Kuhl was fairly sharp, but the damage had already been done, and the Rockies' offense didn't bail him out. It was still a quality start for the right-hander, his first since he threw his first career shutout against the Dodgers on June 27. Kuhl now has a 5.33 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 97:52 K:BB through 123.1 innings across 24 starts this year. He's projected to make his next outing at home against the Giants next week.

Kuhl tossed 4.1 innings, surrendering five runs on six hits and two walks while striking five in Tuesday's extra-innings win over the Brewers. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl gave up two homers in the first frame, accounting for three runs on his line. The final two runs against him came in the fourth inning when Omar Narvaez ripped a two-run double. Since the All-Star break, Kuhl has produced a 9.95 ERA over 25.1 innings in six starts. Overall, the right-hander owns an unimpressive 5.38 ERA and 1.51 WHIP with 92 strikeouts over 117 frames this year.

Kuhl (6-8) was tagged with the loss against Atlanta on Thursday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over 4.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl made it through three scoreless frames before giving up a run in the fourth and two more in the fifth. He was pulled after his 87th pitch and took the loss, as Spencer Strider dominated Rockies hitters over eight scoreless innings. Kuhl's seven strikeouts were one below his season high, but he was again stung by the long ball, serving up multiple homers for the third time in his past four starts. The veteran right-hander has allowed at least one home run in each of his past eight starts dating back to the start of July.

Kuhl yielded three runs on five hits and a walk over five innings against the Mets on Friday. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl was in line to take the loss before Colorado eventually came back to tie the game during the Mets' win. He served up a solo home run to Brett Baty in the third inning followed by a two-run triple from Starling Marte in the fifth. Kuhl was making his first start since coughing up nine runs against the Padres on Aug. 3 after a stint on the injured list. He'll carry a 5.17 ERA into his projected start in Atlanta next week.

The Rockies reinstated Kuhl (hip) from the 15-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

For their upcoming four-game series with the Mets, the Rockies have confirmed their starting pitchers for each contest except Friday's, so that's presumably when Kuhl will slot back into the rotation after a three-week absence due to a right hip strain. The right-hander shouldn't face any major restrictions with his pitch count this weekend after covering five scoreless innings and striking out six in his lone rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 20.
