Pham, who has appeared in three rehab games with the ACL White Sox, has been on the injured list since June 3 with a left ankle sprain suffered on June 2 at Milwaukee. He is hitting .280/.331/.402 (37-132) with seven doubles, three home runs, 12 RBI, 19 runs scored and nine walks in 33 games with Chicago this season.

Kuhl is 1-3 with a 4.34 ERA (27 ER/56.0 IP) and 42 strikeouts in 13 appearances (11 starts) with Charlotte this season after signing as a minor-league free agent on January 4. Kuhl, who will wear uniform No. 41, made 16 appearances (five starts) with Washington in 2023.

Kuhl is 31-45 with a 4.98 ERA (340 ER/615.0 IP), one save, four holds and 536 strikeouts in 143 career appearances (116 starts) over seven major-league seasons with Pittsburgh (2016-21), Colorado (2022) and the Nationals (2023). He originally was selected by the Pirates in the ninth round of the 2013 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Delaware.

DeLoach is 3-22 (.136) with a double and RBI in his first nine major-league games since being recalled from the Knights on June 4.
