Kuhl (hip) threw five scoreless innings Saturday for Triple-A Albuquerque, allowing three hits and four walks while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl has been on the shelf since Aug. 3 with a left hip strain, so his ability to work deep into his first rehab appearance was encouraging. Given that Kuhl stretched out to 86 pitches in the outing, he'll likely be ready to make his next start as a member of Colorado's rotation. He could be activated from the 15-day injured list to start as early as Thursday or Friday against the Mets at Citi Field.
