Designated for assignment
Kuhnel was designated for assignment by the Astros on Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact
The move was required in order to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim Declan Cronin. Kuhnel, who turns 29 next month, has posted an unsightly 6.02 ERA and 71:24 K:BB over 83.2 innings during his parts of four major-league seasons.

Sent down to Triple-A
The Astros optioned Kuhnel to Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.
Impact
With the return of Ryne Stanek (ankle) from the 15-day injured list Friday, Kuhnel will be pushed off the major-league roster. The 28-year-old righty was impressive during his latest stint with the Astros, surrendering just one run over 7.2 innings, but he will likely remain in the minors for the rest of the year.

Recalled to big-league bullpen
Houston recalled Kuhnel from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Kuhnel will give the Astros an extra bullpen arm as major-league rosters expand to 28. The right-hander has surrendered seven earned runs in 5.1 major-league innings this season between Cincinnati and Houston.

Send back to Triple-A
The Astros optioned Kuhnel to Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact
Houston will swap Kuhnel out of its bullpen for Parker Mushinski, who was called up from Sugar Land in a corresponding move. After being acquired from the Reds on June 17 before receiving a call-up July 8, Kuhnel gave up four earned runs over two innings in his first two appearances with the Astros.

ROTOWIRE
Recalled by Astros
Kuhnel was called up by the Astros on Saturday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Kuhnel was acquired from the Reds for cash considerations in mid-June. In 74 career major-league innings, he owns a 6.20 ERA and 1.43 WHIP, so he's unlikely to get anywhere near high-leverage work. Ronel Blanco was optioned in a corresponding move.

Traded to Houston
Houston acquired Kuhnel from the Reds on Saturday for cash considerations, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Impact
Kuhnel was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday, and he'll now provide some organizational depth for the Houston bullpen. The right-hander made two relief appearances in 2023 while allowing three earned runs on six hits with two walks over 3.1 innings.

Designated for assignment
Kuhnel was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday.
Impact
Kuhnel has allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks in 3.1 innings (two relief appearances) this season at the major-league level. Daniel Duarte is grabbing the open 40-man roster spot as he reports to the Reds' bullpen Tuesday in Kansas City.

Optioned to Triple-A
Kuhnel was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.
Impact
He gave up a hit and a walk with zero strikeouts in 1.1 innings Friday after getting recalled and will head right back to Triple-A. Kevin Herget was recalled to take Kuhnel's low-leverage relief role.

ROTOWIRE
Called up Friday
Kuhnel was called up from Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact
Kuhnel will return to the big leagues after he was sent down to Louisville on April 5. The right-hander has made one appearance with the Reds this season, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over two innings against the Cubs on April 4. He's struggled to a 7.13 ERA over 24 innings in Triple-A this year, so he'll likely operate exclusively in low-leverage situations with Cincinnati. Eduardo Salazar was sent down to Louisville in a corresponding move.

Optioned to Triple-A
Kuhnel was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Impact
Kuhnel will head to Louisville after cracking the Reds' Opening Day roster last week. The right-hander appeared in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs, surrendering three runs on five hits and a walk over two frames. Considering the fact that he opened the season on the active roster, Kuhnel seems like to get another shot in the majors before long. In his place, the Reds selected the contract of Kevin Herget on Wednesday.

Likely to make Opening Day roster
Kuhnel is likely to be on the Opening Day roster for the Reds, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Kuhnel is likely the final bullpen option with Bennett Sousa being optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Monday by the Reds. The right-hander has posted a 2.53 ERA with a 1.41 WHIP over 10.2 innings of work in the Cactus League in 10 appearances. He'll likely be a bridge to Alexis Diaz in the middle innings to begin 2023.

Blows save, takes loss
Kuhnel (2-2) allowed two runs on two hits in Friday's loss to the Pirates. He was charged with a blown save and a loss while recording just one out.
Impact
Kuhnel served up an RBI double to Kevin Newman and was charged with another run while Ross Detwiler was on the mound. The 27-year-old righty had allowed just two runs over his previous 9.2 innings but saw his ERA jump to 5.73 after Friday's short outing. He's blown two of his three save chances on the year. Alexis Diaz, who has two saves this month, recorded one out during the seventh inning.
