Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Drives first homer of season
Rotowire
Hernaiz went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and two walks in Sunday's loss to the White Sox.
With Max Muncy shifting to designated hitter, Hernaiz drew the start at third base and connected on his first homer of the season, a solo shot off Noah Schultz in the second inning. In addition to being his first long ball, Sunday's homer marked the utility infielder's first extra-base hit and RBI of the year. Hernaiz figures to continue operating primarily as a reserve, with most of his starts coming against left-handed pitching.

White Sox's Noah Schultz: Earns first MLB win
Rotowire
Schultz (1-1) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on a hit and a walk over five innings against the Athletics. He struck out six.
Schultz was sharp in his second big-league start, limiting baserunners and tallying six strikeouts en route to his first win. Through 9.1 MLB innings, the 22-year-old owns a 3.86 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with a 10:5 K:BB, flashing the potential that has made him one of the most well-regarded left-handed pitching prospects in baseball. His next start is projected for Saturday against the Nationals, and it will be worth monitoring whether the White Sox allow Schultz to pitch deeper into games after he was pulled at 82 pitches Sunday.

Athletics' Carlos Cortes: Taking seat Sunday
Rotowire
Cortes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Cortes and fellow left-handed hitters Jeff McNeil and Lawrence Butler will hit the bench for the series finale while southpaw Noah Schultz takes the hill for the White Sox. Since Brent Rooker (oblique) landed on the injured list April 10, Cortes has gained a foothold in the Athletics' regular lineup versus right-handed pitching while shuffling between the corner-outfield spots and designated hitter.

White Sox's Noah Schultz: Handed another start
Rotowire
Schultz is slated to start Sunday's game against the Athletics at Sutter Health Park.
After being called up from Triple-A Charlotte earlier in the week, the 6-foot-10 lefty had an uneven MLB debut Tuesday against the Rays. Schultz recorded four strikeouts and induced five swinging strikes with a fastball that averaged 96.8 miles per hour over 4.1 innings, but the control problems that plagued him in the minors last season cropped up again, as he issued four walks. Though he'll have a good opportunity to add to his punchout total against an Athletics offense that owns the third-highest strikeout rate in the majors (25.7 percent) this season, pitching in a hitter-friendly environment in Sacramento will make him a risky lineup option for fantasy managers who are looking to protect their ratios.

White Sox's Noah Schultz: Takes loss in major-league debut
Rotowire
Schultz (0-1) took the loss against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits and four walks while striking out four across 4.1 innings.
The 22-year-old Schultz dominated across three outings (two starts) with Triple-A Charlotte, prompting the White Sox to call him up Tuesday for his major-league debut. The nerves appeared to get to the young southpaw early, as he gave up three runs (two earned) in the first inning before yielding another run in the fourth, though he managed to retire five of the last six batters he faced. It wasn't the major-league debut Schultz was hoping for, but he should see a few more turns in the rotation, at least until Jonathan Cannon (hip) is cleared to return from the 15-day injured list. Schultz is lined up to start against the Athletics this weekend.

White Sox's Noah Schultz: Called up ahead of debut
Rotowire
The White Sox selected Schultz's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.
Schultz is set to make his major-league debut with a start Tuesday against the Rays. The 6-foot-10 left-hander earned a promotion after a dominant start to the season with Charlotte, as he posted a 19:2 K:BB over 14 innings to go along with a 1.29 ERA. Control and injuries have been a problem at times for Schultz, but he has some of the best upside of any starting pitching prospect in baseball. He'll get an opportunity to stick around with the big club if he pitches well.
White Sox's Noah Schultz: Slated for MLB debut Tuesday
Rotowire
The White Sox are expected to call up Schultz for his MLB debut Tuesday versus Tampa Bay, Elijah Evans of JustBaseball.com reports.
Schultz has dominated with Triple-A Charlotte to begin the campaign, allowing just two earned runs while posting a 19:2 K:BB over 14 innings spanning three appearances (two starts). The 22-year-old, who is one of the White Sox's top prospects, now appears set to get his chance to show what he can do against big-league hitters. Schultz could stick in Chicago's rotation moving forward, especially if he fares well from the outset.
Schultz (knee) said Tuesday that he's completed his rehab for right knee tendinitis and is ready for the start of spring training, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
The left-hander, who is one of the White Sox's top prospects, was shut down in September due to right knee tendinitis, but it won't affect his availability for the start of 2026. Schultz spent most of the campaign at Double-A Birmingham and had a 3.06 ERA across 61.2 innings, but he struggled after being promoted to Triple-A Charlotte with a 9.37 ERA over five starts.
White Sox's Noah Schultz: Should be healthy for camp
Rotowire
Schultz (knee) is having a strong offseason and the team expects him to be fully healthy for the start of spring training, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Schultz was shut down of for the remainder of the 2025 season due to right patellar tendinitis, but he's been progressing well so far this offseason. If all goes according to plan, he could finish up his rehab at some point over the next month or so. The 6-foot-10 southpaw had a disappointing 2025 campaign, logging a 13.8 percent walk rate and 1.67 WHIP in 73 innings across Double-A and Triple-A. Schultz is not on the 40-man roster and will likely head back to the upper minors to start 2026.

White Sox's Noah Schultz: Set to avoid knee surgery
Rotowire
White Sox director of player development Paul Janish said Monday that Schultz is dealing with right patellar tendinitis in his knee but will not require surgery, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Schultz had already been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a knee problem that first cropped up in July. He wound up making only five starts for Triple-A Charlotte after being promoted to the affiliate in late June and posted a 9.37 ERA in those outings. Schultz is just 22 years old and has some of the highest upside of any pitching prospect in baseball, but he has yet to reach 90 innings in a season.

White Sox's Noah Schultz: Returns from 7-day IL
Rotowire
Schultz (knee) struck out four and allowed one unearned run on two hits in his two-inning start Sunday after being activated from the 7-day injured list.
Schultz hadn't pitched for Charlotte since July 3 due to a right knee injury before he was cleared to slot into the Triple-A rotation Sunday, albeit on a restricted pitch count. The right-hander is regarded as one of the White Sox's top pitching prospects, but he's struggled thus far through his first outings with Charlotte, delivering a 10.13 ERA, 2.10 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB in 13.1 innings.
