Kuhl (forearm) placed on DL; Moroff recalled

SAN DIEGO -- Right-hander Chad Kuhl went on the disabled list only once during the first five years of his career, missing two weeks immediately after making his professional debut in 2013 for a Minor League affiliate in Jamestown, N.Y., that no longer exists.

But Kuhl landed on the disabled list for the first time in his Major League career on Friday. After leaving his start on Tuesday after only four innings, Kuhl was diagnosed with a right forearm strain. The Pirates recalled infielder Max Moroff from Triple-A Indianapolis to take Kuhl's spot on the roster.
