MILWAUKEE — Right-handed starting pitcher Chad Kuhl will be re-examined by Dr. David Altchek next week after experiencing a setback with his right elbow injury Tuesday in St. Louis, the Pirates announced before first pitch Friday at Miller Park.
Kuhl, 26, was unable to throw his scheduled bullpen Tuesday because he experienced tightness in his elbow and forearm, Todd Tomczyk, the team's director of sports medicine, told reporters. Kuhl's been on the disabled list since June 29 after suffering the injury during his final start June 27 against the Mets at Citi Field in New York.
Kuhl was shut down from throwing for six weeks after being examined by Altchek at the Hospital for Special Surgery in July and progressed to throwing a 30-pitch fastball-only bullpen last week; however, the setback occurred when he was warming up with Elias Diaz on Tuesday.
