CHICAGO -- Chad Kuhl has proven to be a reliable relief pitcher, and sometimes even spot starter for the White Sox.But any pressure he feels to perform on the mound is nothing compared to what he and his family went through in the past year.Kuhlâwho played previously for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Colorado Rockies, and Washington Nationalsâis happy to back in the major leagues, pitching for the White Sox.'Just amazing to be back,' he said.
After that, Kuhl said he received offers from other teams, but he decided to stay home and put his baseball career on pause instead of pursuing those opportunities.'I just felt like at the time it wasn't the right thing to do, you know, to leave her there with our then-2-year-old, going through chemo by herself.
