Kohn was placed on the DL at Triple-A Gwinnett due to a strained right shoulder, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. |
Kohn, who was optioned to Triple-A last week, will be on the shelf for a couple of weeks, ruling out any chance that he'd be called up for another major league stint. |
Wed May 6 2015 | 14:47 | Kohn optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday |
Kohn was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. |
Kohn appeared in six games with the big league club this stint, pitching 4.2 scoreless innings though he struggled with his command to the tune of a 4:6 K:BB ratio. Williams Perez was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move, so Kohn will rejoin Gwinnett and serve as bullpen depth within the organization. |
Fri Apr 24 2015 | 11:49 | Kohn called up by Braves |
Kohn has been called up by the Braves, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. |
Kohn has decently solid career ERA (3.67), but that comes with an FIP of 4.93 that screams regression. He can get strikeouts, averaging nearly a K per inning, but his walk rate and horrible and could lead to some rough innings for Atlanta. |
Mon Mar 30 2015 | 10:26 | Kohn reassigned to minor league camp Monday |
Kohn was reassigned to minor league camp Monday. |
The veteran righty has some significant control issues, and doesn't figure to see many high-leverage looks even if he is able to pitch his way back to the big leagues. Look for him to start the year in Triple-A. |

Kohn agreed to a minor league contract with the Braves on Thursday that includes an invite to spring training. |
Kohn's 3.04 ERA in 25 appearances with the Angels last season is deceiving, as he issued a whopping 20 free passes in 23.2 innings and benefited greatly from a .192 BABIP and 4.0 percent HR/FB rate. It's a low-risk investment for the Braves, who will allow Kohn to compete for one of their final bullpen spots this spring. |

Kohn declined his outright assignment to Triple-A Durham and will become a free agent, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. |
The Rays signed Kohn in October but designated him assignment just over a month later, making his stay with the club brief. He shouldn't have much trouble earning an invite to spring training with a club, but he may have to settle for a minor-league contract. |
Sun Nov 30 2014 | 09:12 | Kohn outrighted to Triple-A Durham after clearing waivers |
Kohn has been outrighted to Triple-A Durham after clearing waivers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. |
Though he signed a one-year deal with the Rays last month, Kohn has been assigned to Triple-A Durham after clearing waivers. The 28-year-old righty has a solid 3.67 ERA over 110.1 big-league innings, but control (6.0 BB/9) has always been an issue. Kohn will likely get a chance to land a spot in the Rays' bullpen coming out of spring training. |
Fri Nov 21 2014 | 00:53 | Kohn designated for assignment by Rays on Thursday |
Kohn was designated for assignment by the Rays on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. |
Kohn signed a one-year deal with the Rays in October, but his designation for assignment likely indicates the Rays weren't sold on him being part of the bullpen. |
Thu Oct 16 2014 | 19:27 | Kohn signed one-year contract with Rays on Thursday |
Kohn signed a one-year contract with the Rays on Thursday, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune reports. |
Despite issuing 20 walks in 23.2 innings, Kohn allowed just eight earned runs while with the big club in 2014 (3.04 ERA), which was good enough to earn him a major league offer from Tampa. Kohn can dial his fastball up close to the mid-90s and compliments it with a slider and a changeup. The right-hander figures to break camp with a spot toward the front end of the Rays' bullpen. |
Tue Sep 2 2014 | 17:07 | The Angels designated Kohn for assignment Tuesday |
The Angels designated Kohn for assignment Tuesday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports. |
During his time in the Angels' bullpen this season, Kohn posted a 3.04 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 23.2 innings, numbers which are more than serviceable from a middle reliever. He wasn't particularly good at Triple-A Salt Lake, however, with a 4.76 ERA in 33 appearances, and the team has decided to give his 40-man roster spot to one of its younger, more promising players. |

Kohn, who is in his first year back after undergoing Tommy John surgery, has posted a 0.00 ERA, 0.462 WHIP and 7/0 K/BB ratio over his first 4 1/3 innings at Triple-A. He'll serve as an extra arm in the bullpen for a few days, and could work himself into a permanent role if he pitches well. |

Fri Mar 15 2013 | 15:47 | Angels option three |
Angels optioned RHPs Michael Kohn, Ryan Brasier and Barry Enright to Triple-A Salt Lake. |
Kohn was hoping to land a bullpen spot in his first year back from Tommy John surgery, but he struggled this spring, posting an 8.44 ERA while walking six over 5 1/3 innings. He should be an option for the pen at some point in 2013. |

Michael Kohn (elbow) said he's "game-ready" after throwing 20-25 bullpen sessions over the offseason. |
Kohn missed all of 2012 following Tommy John surgery and wasn't expected to be ready for the start of 2013, but it sounds like he's ahead of schedule. He'll compete for a middle relief role. |

Michael Kohn will have his forearm examined by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Alabama on Wednesday. |
Never a good sign. Kohn hasn't picked up a ball in a couple of weeks and will likely be sidelined for a while longer even if Andrews' exam goes relatively well. |
