The White Sox announced Friday that theyve selected the contract of right-hander from Triple-A Charlotte. Chicago also reinstated outfielder from the injured list and optioned righty and outfielder to Charlotte in a pair of corresponding moves. Kuhl, 31, is a veteran of seven big league seasons who joined the South Siders on a minor league deal in the offseason. Hes made 13 appearances in Charlotte, 11 of them starts, and posted a 4.34 ERA in that Andre Iguodala Jersey time. Kuhls 17.3% strikeout rate is considerably below-average, while his 13.6% walk rate with the Knights is substantially higher than average. Hes turned in a strong 53.5% grounder rate and done a nice job keeping the ball in the yard, averaging 0.8 homers per nine frames. Kuhl spent the 2023 season with the Nationals organization but struggled through 16 appearances before being cut loose.

She announced via social media in November that shed completed her cancer treatments. the couples journey through that harrowing ordeal this past April, revealing within that Amanda is thankfully in the maintenance phase of her treatment and no longer showing any sign of cancer. Prior to Kuhls time with the Nats, he spent five seasons with the Pirates and a sixth with the Rockies. In all, hes totaled 615 big league innings and pitched to a 4.98 ERA, though that number is skewed to an extent by last years grisly 8.45 mark while quietly dealing with that terrifying family i sue away from the field. Kuhls best season came with the 17 Pirates, when he started 31 games and logged a 4.35 ERA over the course of 157 1/3 innings. The White Sox dont have an immediate opening in the rotation, but Kuhl can provide a long relief option and perhaps step up next week if the Sox want to get their starters some extra rest. Top starter , notably, has already established a new career-high in innings pitched after shifting from a relief role to the rotation this season. For now, the Sox have , and top prospect lined up to make the next three starts in their road series with the Diamondbacks. Paul Eboua Jersey
