Chad Kuhl's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Chicago White Sox right-hander Chad Kuhl has been tasked with a spot start on Thursday versus the visiting Atlanta Braves. Kuhl was called up by the White Sox on June 14, but all three of his appearances came out of the bullpen. In his last appearance on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers, the 31-year-old threw 4 1/3 innings of long relief, giving up two earned runs on six hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out seven. Kuhl has allowed six earned runs on eight hits while walking five and fanning 11 in his three relief appearances for the Sox this year. At Triple-A Charlotte, Kuhl went 1-3 with a 4.34 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with 42 strikeouts and 33 walks in 56 innings over 13 outings (11 starts). He holds a career 5.00 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with a mediocre 20% strikeout rate in eight big-league seasons and makes for a desperation fantasy streamer on Thursday.

The Chicago White Sox signed free-agent right-hander Chad Kuhl to a minor-league deal. The rebuilding White Sox are looking for as much pitching depth as they can get. Kuhl will hope to be better in 2024 after posting an 8.45 ERA (6.78 FIP) and 1.96 WHIP with a save, 28 walks and 31 strikeouts in 16 appearances (five starts) covering 38 1/3 innings at the major-league level for the Washington Nationals last season. The 31-year-old will most likely begin the year pitching for Triple-A Charlotte. Kuhl will not be anywhere near the fantasy radar. In his seven major-league seasons with the Nationals, Pittsburgh Pirates and Colorado Rockies, he has a 4.98 ERA (4.89 FIP) and 1.48 WHIP with 536 K's and 281 walks in 615 innings over 143 outings (116 starts).
