Eligibility
The Nationals designated Chad Kuhl for assignment Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Kuhl had posted an 8.45 ERA across 38 1/3 innings so far this season out of the Nationals bullpen. He will hit the waivers next.
The Washington Nationals placed Chad Kuhl on the 15-day injured list Monday with right foot metatarsalgia.
Fantasy Impact
Kuhl allowed eight runs in his last start on Saturday against the Pirates. Cory Abbott was recalled from Triple-A Rochester as the corresponding move.
Chad Kuhl struggled on the mound in the second game of a doubleheader Saturday for the Nationals, allowing eight runs on seven hits while also walking four and striking out four over 3 2/3 innings of a 16-1 loss to the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
Kuhl has been abysmal on the mound for the Nationals to begin the season, allowing four or more runs in four of five starts for the club. The 30-year-old right-hander is not a viable fantasy option at this point in any format, carrying a 1.95 WHIP and 9.41 ERA with just 18 strikeouts in five starts (0-2) on the mound so far this season.
Chad Kuhl failed to reach the fourth inning on the mound for the Nationals Saturday, allowing one run on three hits while also walking four and striking out five over 3 2/3 innings in a 10-4 win over the Twins.
Fantasy Impact
Kuhl has struggled with command and control on the mound to begin the season for the Nationals, allowing four or more runs and recording three or more walks in three of four starts so far this season. The right-hander is best left off rosters in all formats, carrying a disappointing 7.36 ERA and 1.75 WHIP with 12 walks and 14 strikeouts in four starts (0-1) on the mound so far this season.
Chad Kuhl failed to reach the fifth inning on the mound for the Nationals Saturday, allowing five runs on seven hits while also walking three and striking out two in 4 2/3 innings of a 6-4 loss to the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact
Kuhl has left plenty to be desired to begin the season for the Nationals, allowing four or more runs in each of his three starts on the mound for the club. The right-hander will need to minimize mistakes moving forward to continue to receive an opportunity in a Washington rotation leaving fantasy managers with more questions than answers so far this season.
