Schultz (knee) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Schultz completed a bullpen session session Wednesday, and he will now return to the mound with the Triple-A squad. The southpaw has been sidelined since late May while nursing right knee patellar tendinitis, and he'll likely need to make multiple starts with Charlotte before rejoining the major-league roster. Schultz posted an inflated 9.87 ERA and 1.73 WHIP with 13 strikeouts over 17.1 innings in his last four outings before being placed on the 15-day injured list, and he'll look to use his rehab outings as a chance to find his form again.

Corbin did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Yankees, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out three across 3.2 innings.

Corbin has totaled just 6.2 innings in his last two starts, allowing seven runs on 11 hits in that span. The veteran left-hander's ERA now sits at 4.57 through 13 starts (61 innings) this season with a 1.48 WHIP and 43:20 K:BB. Corbin will likely get one more start, tentatively scheduled to come next week on the road against the Cubs, before Shane Bieber (elbow) is ready to return to the rotation.

Rodriguez (undisclosed) exited Sunday's start against the Rays in the third inning, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Rodriguez hit Cedric Mullins with an 83 mph changeup with one out in the top of the third frame, and he immediately started grimacing. The Angels promptly removed him from the contest, and it's unclear what injury the right-handed pitcher may be dealing with. More information on Rodriguez's status will likely be provided in the near future.

Warren did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on eight hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out one.

While Warren managed to work his way around significant damage Sunday, he'd make it through only four innings after throwing 98 pitches. The right-hander has failed to make it through five innings in consecutive starts after posting a 2.78 ERA over 22.2 innings over his previous four outings. Overall, Warren is 7-1 with a 3.47 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 76:24 K:BB across 14 starts (72.2 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to face the Reds at home in his next outing.

Lambert (hand) is listed as Houston's probable starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against Detroit, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander departed his previous start last Wednesday versus the Angels after getting hit in the hand by a comebacker, but he was able to make it through his between-starts bullpen session without issue and won't be forced to miss a turn through the rotation. Lambert has a 3-0 record with a 3.32 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB in 21.2 innings across his past four starts.

Estes was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

The right-hander made a spot start Saturday against the Rockies and will return to the minors after giving up four runs over 4.1 frames in a no-decision. It was the first MLB outing of the campaign for Estes, who has a 5.95 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 39:28 K:BB across 59 innings (12 starts) at Triple-A this year.

Fedde is slated to work in bulk relief behind opener Bryan Hudson in Sunday's game against the Dodgers, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

The White Sox will likely have the left-handed Hudson work an inning or two before he turns things over to Fedde, who has made five of his 13 appearances of the season out of the bullpen. In those outings, Fedde has turned in a 5.25 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB over 24 innings.

MIze (adductor) won't be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday against the Guardians after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Cleveland.

The two teams will make up the game as part of a split doubleheader Sept. 4. After making a five-inning rehab start with Single-A Lakeland earlier in the week, Mize had been slated to make his first appearance for Detroit since May 27. Due to the postponement, however, the Tigers will push Mize's return back three days, with the right-hander now scheduled to be activated from the IL to start Wednesday in Houston, per Jason Beck of MLB.com.

Williams won't start as scheduled Sunday against the Tigers after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Cleveland.

The Guardians have a team day off Monday, so Williams will end up with a few extra days of rest before taking the mound Wednesday in Milwaukee, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. The right-hander has surrendered four home runs and six earned runs in his past two starts, but he still has a 4-0 record with a 2.59 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB in 31.1 innings across his last five outings.

Brown (shoulder) will be reinstated from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander has fully recovered from a Grade 2 shoulder strain and is ready to rejoin the Astros after completing a four-start rehab assignment. Brown built up to five innings and 78 pitches during his final rehab outing with Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, so he may have only a minor workload restriction in his first start with Houston after the lengthy absence. The 27-year-old was dominant in his first two starts of the season prior to being shelved April 5, giving up just one run on five hits with a 17:6 K:BB across 10.2 innings.
