Kuhl (2-0) earned the win Sunday at Detroit after giving up one run on four hits with four strikeouts and two walks across six innings.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander allowed a run on two hits during the third inning but otherwise shut down the Tigers. Kuhl was able to generate 15 swinging strikes, though those results didn't produce many strikeouts. The 29-year-old has now surrendered only two runs this season and has delivered two straight quality starts. He lines up for an appealing matchup versus the Reds next weekend.

The Rockies list Kuhl (hip) as their probable starting pitcher for Sunday's game in Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl's inclusion on the pitching schedule for this weekend's series in Detroit confirms that he felt fine coming out of his between-starts bullpen session after he was nagged by a right hip issue in his most recent outing Monday against the Phillies. Despite being at less-than-optimal health against Philadelphia, Kuhl cruised through six shutout innings at Coors Field en route to nabbing his first win of the season.

Kuhl (hip) said Wednesday that he expects to make his next turn through the rotation, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl was removed from Monday's start against the Phillies due to a right hip flexor injury, but he said two days later that his hip is "not an issue." While the Rockies will presumably monitor the right-hander's health this week, it appears as though he'll be able to take the mound when he's tentatively scheduled to start Sunday at Detroit.

Kuhl exited Monday's start against the Phillies due to a right hip flexor injury, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl threw six shutout innings to earn his first win with Colorado, allowing only two hits and a walk while striking out four. However, he was pulled after just 68 pitches due to the discomfort. It's unclear whether the issue will be enough to jeopardize his next outing, which is currently set for Sunday at Detroit.

Kuhl (1-0) allowed two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings Monday, striking out four and earning a win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl was dominant Monday and never faced much of a threat from the Phillies. He needed just 68 pitches to finish six shutout frames and, at one point, he retired 10 consecutive batters. The 29-year-old righty is sporting a 0.87 ERA through 10.1 innings this season. Kuhl is expected to take the mound in Detroit this weekend.

Kuhl got a no-decision during Tuesday's 4-1 victory over Texas, allowing one run on two hits and four walks with five strikeouts in 4.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first start with his new team, Kuhl encountered trouble in the second and fifth innings --the inning he surrendered his lone run and one in which he was removed -- but pitched well in the first, third and fourth. Although the four walks are concerning, the 29-year-old showed enough to merit streamer consideration in road starts. He lines up to take the hill next against Philadelphia on Monday.

Kuhl agreed Monday with the Rockies on a major-league contract, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Opening Day starter for the Pirates in 2022, Kuhl produced a 4.43 ERA and 58:35 K:BB in 67 innings over 14 turns through the rotation before making a full-time move to the bullpen in late August. It's not immediately clear whether the Rockies want to first try him out in their rotation or are viewing him as more of a swingman who can be plugged into a starting role when injuries hit. Regardless, Kuhl's career 10.3 BB% and 1.2 HR/9 rate wouldn't seem to make him an appealing fantasy option now that he'll be pitching at altitude for home games.

The Pirates opted not to tender Kuhl a contract for 2022, making him a free agent.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl started in 14 of 28 appearances for Pittsburgh in 2021 and had a 4.82 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 75:42 K:BB across 80.1 innings. The 29-year-old has been unable to put it all together at the big-league level and will now look to continue his career elsewhere.

Kuhl allowed one hit in a scoreless relief inning of Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Cubs. He struck out one batter.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old has one season of control left with Pittsburgh after 2021. Since returning from COVID-19 in late August, the organization has deployed him as a reliever for the first time. On Tuesday he threw eight of 11 pitches for strikes in a rare, quiet outing. He hasn't looked particularly impressive out of the bullpen, surrendering runs in five of 13 appearances while registering a 7.30 ERA in 12.1 innings. Prior to missing time, Kuhl compiled a 2.84 ERA in his last seven starts covering 38 innings. That said, the team has given no indication of its usage for the righty in 2022 or even if it will keep him on the roster.

Kuhl (5-7) allowed two runs (one earned) in Sunday's loss to Miami. He was given a loss and blew a save chance.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl entered a 5-4 game in the 10th inning and served up a walkoff two-run shot to Lewin Diaz before he was able to record an out. He's blown two save opportunities this month and he saw his ERA climb to 4.83. Since moving to the bullpen last month, Kuhl has given up eight earned runs over 9.1 innings (7.71 ERA) with an 11:3 K:BB.
