The Rays recalled Kuhnel from Triple-A Durham on Monday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Rays' Joel Kuhnel: Heads to Triple-A
The Rays optioned Kuhnel to Triple-A Durham on Wednesday.
Kuhnel tossed two scoreless innings out of the bullpen in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Cardinals and was unlikely to be available for another day or two, so he was an easy choice for the Rays to move off the active roster to clear room for right-hander Drew Rasmussen (elbow), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move. The 29-year-old right-hander will head back to Durham after making a pair of two-inning appearances in relief following his July 30 promotion.

Rays' Joel Kuhnel: Claimed by Tampa Bay
The Rays claimed Kuhnel off waivers from the Brewers on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The right-hander was designated for assignment by Milwaukee over the weekend, and Tampa Bay didn't waste any time scooping him up on waivers.

Brewers' Joel Kuhnel: Dropped from 40-man roster
The Brewers designated Kuhnel for assignment Sunday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Though Kuhnel has a minor-league option remaining, the Brewers opted to move him off their 40-man roster to open up a spot in the bullpen for lefty Jared Koenig (elbow), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Kuhnel has now been DFA'd by the Brewers on two occasions since he signed a minor-league deal with the organization in June. He didn't make any appearances out of the Milwaukee bullpen after being called up from Triple-A Nashville last Sunday.

Brewers' Joel Kuhnel: Called up from Triple-A
The Brewers selected Kuhnel's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Milwaukee designated southpaw Dallas Keuchel for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for Kuhnel, who will join the Brewers for the second time this season. Kuhnel's previous stint with Milwaukee lasted just one day, as he was called up from Nashville on June 25 before being designated for assignment a day later and eventually accepting an outright assignment back to the Triple-A club.

Brewers' Joel Kuhnel: Moved off 40-man roster
The Brewers designated Kuhnel for assignment Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Brewers' Joel Kuhnel: Contract selected
The Brewers selected Kuhnel's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Kuhnel signed a minor-league deal with Milwaukee on June 11, and he'll now get another shot in the majors after giving up two earned runs while striking out eight batters and walking three through five innings with Nashville. Although the 29-year-old right-hander has found success in the minors this season across the three organizations he's been a part of, his 6.30 career ERA in the majors will likely limit him to low-leverage situations while with the Brewers. Carlos F. Rodriguez was optioned to Triple-A to clear space for Kuhnel on the active roster, and Robert Gasser (elbow) was moved to the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man spot.

Brewers' Joel Kuhnel: Finds work in Milwaukee
Kuhnel signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Tuesday.

He appeared out of the bullpen Tuesday in Nashville's 13-9 loss to Gwinnett, covering one inning and striking out two while allowing two earned runs on two hits and one walk. Prior to joining Milwaukee, Kuhnel spent time in the big leagues this season with Houston, giving up four earned runs over two innings in his lone relief appearance.

Blue Jays' Joel Kuhnel: DFA'd again
Kuhnel was designated for assignment Friday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
Kuhnel made his way to Toronto's organization after being DFA'd by the Astros in April, and he'll once again be put on waivers with Friday's move. He'll give way to Ryan Burr -- who was traded from the Phillies on Thursday -- on the 40-man roster. If Kuhnel clears waivers, he'll likely remain in the Blue Jays' farm system.

Astros' Joel Kuhnel: DFA'd by Astros
Kuhnel was designated for assignment by the Astros on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Kuhnel's DFA was one of several roster moves by the Astros on Tuesday, with the others being the placement of Grae Kessinger (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list and the promotion of Joey Loperfido to the big-league club. Considering Kuhnel was tagged for four runs in his only MLB appearance this season but owns a 3.18 ERA in 11.1 innings in Triple-A, so it's at least within the realm of possibility he could be claimed by another organization.
