Atlanta Braves news and notes from Thursday.
The Atlanta Braves have reportedly bolstered their pitching depth by signing right-hander Chad Kuhl to a minor league contract. He is expected to attend Spring Training as a non-roster invitee.
Kuhl, 32, spent the 2024 season with the Chicago White Sox, making 31 appearances. Prior to that, he played for the Washington Nationals, Colorado Rockies, and Pittsburgh Pirates.
If he performs well this spring, Kuhl could earn a spot on the Braves’ major league roster.
