Pirates Get Bad News With Chad Kuhl Injury Update The Pittsburgh Pirates' 2021 season has gone better than expected so far. They may be tied for last place in the NL Central, but at 8-10 the...
Placed on 10-day IL Kuhl was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to right shoulder discomfort, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kuhl made his fourth start of the season Sunday and allowed three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out six against the Brewers. He was slated to start Sunday's series finale in Minnesota, but manager Derek Shelton said that Sean Poppen, Luis Oviedo and Duane Underwood "provide significant length" out of the bullpen and are all candidates to serve as the primary pitcher Sunday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. It's not yet clear when Kuhl will be able to return.

Displays better control Kuhl allowed three runs on five hits and a walk with six strikeouts in five innings versus the Brewers on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact Kuhl was beat by the long ball Sunday, as Daniel Vogelbach and Avisail Garcia's solo shots accounted for two of the three runs against the Pirates' starter. It was encouraging to see Kuhl limit his walks to just one for the first time in 2021. The 28-year-old carries a 6.32 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 14:16 K:BB across 15.2 innings. His next start is set for Saturday in Minnesota.

Struggles with walks again Kuhl allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and seven walks while managing just one strikeout over 3.2 innings as he picked up a no-decision against the Padres on Tuesday.
Impact Kuhl was fortunate that the Pirates' bats came alive in this one as he did not help himself whatsoever with his performance on the mound. The 28-year-old allowed a leadoff home run to Trent Grisham to begin the game and then eventually walked in a second run after the Padres were able to load the bases. Things never really got any better for Kuhl as he walked five more batters over the next 2.2 innings and could've had a lot more damage done against him if the Padres could've taken better advantage of their opportunities with runners in scoring position. Kuhl has struggled with walks in the past, but not nearly as bad as he has to begin the 2021 campaign. He currently owns a 6.75 ERA and an 8:15 K:BB through just 10.2 innings over three starts. He'll look to turn things around in a divisional matchup against the Brewers on Sunday.

Issues five walks in loss Kuhl (0-1) took the loss Wednesday at Cincinnati after surrendering five runs (four earned) on two hits with five walks and five strikeouts over four innings.
Impact The 28-year-old served up a solo homer to Tyler Naquin on the first pitch of the afternoon, and the Reds tacked on four more runs before the end of the first inning. Kuhl settled down from there with three scoreless frames, but his command was poor all day as he threw only 33 of 72 pitches for strikes. The right-hander is poised for a tough matchup against San Diego early next week.

Tosses three innings Thursday Kuhl didn't factor into the decision in Thursday's win over the Cubs. He allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit and three walks while fanning two across three innings.
Impact Kuhl had a short leash in the season opener and was far from effective on the mound. He was aided by a stellar job from the Pirates' bullpen, however, as six relievers combined to allow just one run across six frames. Kuhl's next start is scheduled for April 7 at Cincinnati.

Draws Opening Day nod Manager Derek Shelton named Kuhl the Pirates' starter for Thursday's season opener against the Cubs, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
Impact Kuhl's tenure in the organization was likely enough for him to secure the Opening Day assignment over newcomer Tyler Anderson, who has been the Pirates' most consistent starter during the back half of the Grapefruit League schedule. The 28-year-old righty worked only two innings in his final outing of the spring Saturday against the Red Sox, so he could face some limitations with his workload Thursday. Kuhl made 11 appearances (nine starts) for Pittsburgh in 2020, submitting a 4.27 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 8.5 K/9.

Goes three innings Tuesday Kuhl threw three scoreless innings Tuesday, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out four.
Impact First baseman Colin Moran collided with Kuhl in the first inning Tuesday, but the righty remained in the game and pitched well. Kuhl slots as the team's No. 2 or No. 3 starter in 2021. So long as he avoids the blister injury reoccurrence that bothered him last summer he could surprise. He's posted a 3.00 ERA and 9:2 K:BB in six spring innings.
