Kuehler (elbow) allowed two runs on five hits and struck out three over three innings Saturday against High-A Asheville. He didn't factor into the decision.
Kuehler has been given a clean bill of health after undergoing Tommy John surgery late in 2024. He hasn't worked beyond High-A in his brief professional career, and he'll aim to continue his development with the Emperors to begin the 2026 campaign.

Braves' Cade Kuehler: Recovering from Tommy John surgery
Rotowire
Kuehler is on the full-season injured list at High-A Rome after undergoing Tommy John surgery in July, Scott Kennedy of SI.com reports.
Kuehler logged a 2.52 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a 44:20 K:BB in 50 innings across 11 starts for Single-A Augusta and then gave up eight runs in three innings in his lone start for Rome on June 30. It's possible that the 22-year-old righty will eventually shift to the bullpen, where his fastball/slider combo could play up and his shaky command would be less of an issue. He may not recover in time to pitch for an affiliate in 2025.
