    Noah Schultz allowed three runs in 3 1/3 innings and got a no-decision against the Yankees on Monday.

    Schultz gave up two hits, walked two and struck out five. The 22-year-old left-hander kept the Yankees off the scoreboard for three innings. In the fourth inning, the first three batters reached before Schultz got Anthony Volpe to ground out. Schultz was removed at that point and both of his runners that were inherited by the bullpen scored. Schultz has completed five innings only three times in his last nine starts. He has a 6.15 ERA and a 5.13 xFIP in 60 innings. Schultz is lined up to face the Rays on the road on Saturday, but could be the odd man out of the rotation if the White Sox trade for a starting pitcher before the deadline.
HLs: Acuna Jr., Riley power Braves' comeback win
The Braves clawed their way to a comeback win on Sunday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park, where Ronald Acuna Jr. and Austin Riley delivered and the bullpen did just enough to quiet the Phillies' late push.

    A high-profile misstep by manager Will Venable led to Schultz’s early exit after just 23 pitches on Friday evening. The 23-year-old top prospect has struggled to work deep into games since arriving in the big leagues back in mid-April, posting an inflated 6.06 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 59/31 K/BB ratio across 65 1/3 innings of work. The talent is there for Schultz to make the leap to impact fantasy contributor status, but it’s highly unlikely to happen in the final two months based on his recent results.

    Noah Schultz and David Sandlin will both be sent down. This is more about having fresh arms available than anything to do with performance, but Smith and McDougal are among the team’s best prospects. Smith, the fifth overall pick in the 2024 draft, was moved to the bullpen at Triple-A Charlotte earlier this month and has since pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings in five appearances.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #76
    Not appearing to realize the consequences of his actions, manager Will Venable came out one batter after pitching coach Zach Bove did with the White Sox down 2-0 on the first. That means Schultz had to exit, and David Sandlin, who wasn’t previously warming up, entered the game. It’d be a bad look regardless, but this was pretty incredible timing for such a misstep, given that the White Sox used their entire bullpen in losing in 13 innings Thursday.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #76
    Schultz came into a scoreless game after Jordan Hicks pitched the first and gave up a lone run on a single, a steal and another single in the fifth. It was one of his best outings to date, but it didn’t stop him from dropping to 3-8 in 14 outings. Still, it’s really encouraging that he went without a walk for the third time in four starts. He’s walked just two in his last four appearances after issuing 29 free passes over 48 innings in his first 10. He’ll likely face the Guardians on Friday.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #76
    Schultz has had just one decent start in four turns since coming off the IL and that was against an A’s team that doesn’t score on the road. He has a 6.04 ERA and a 49/29 K/BB ratio in 56 2/3 innings overall. He’ll probably face the Yankees on Monday, but he’s in line to be replaced in the White Sox add a starter before the deadline.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #76
    Schultz didn’t give up another run after allowing a solo homer to Shea Langeliers in the first. The 22-year-old had easily his best start since being activated off the injured list, and it’s a very positive development for the surprising White Sox as Schultz will need to be better for them to be true playoff contenders. Expect him to get the ball at some point next weekend after the break.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #76
    Andruw Monasterio and Ceddanne Rafaela homered off him in a three-run second. Schultz gave up five other hits and walked three before departing. He’s been ineffective in both starts since coming off the IL, leaving him 2-5 with a 6.00 ERA overall, but he’ll probably retain his spot for now and face the A’s on Sunday.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #76
    Schultz struck out seven and looked fantastic through four innings, but things unraveled in the fifth, and multiple inherited runners scored. This was the rookie’s first start since May 24 as he missed over a month due to a knee injury. Walks remain a problem for the left-hander, and he’ll look for better results next time out against the Red Sox.

    Schultz will take the mound on Wednesday against the Orioles. His last rehab outing was 74 pitches, so we should expect to see a pitch count somewhere in the mid-80s in this one. The 22-year-old has plenty of strikeout upside, but has also battled some command issues throughout the season, so that pitch count may not allow him to complete five innings and be qualified for the win. We have no problem adding him if he was dropped in your league, but we may not start him right off the IL.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #76
    It’s not official, but it seems highly likely that Schultz will return to take the ball later this week. The 22-year-old top pitching prospect threw 74 pitches and struck out seven over 4 2/3 innings during his latest minor league rehab start for Triple-A Charlotte last Friday. The towering 22-year-old southpaw offers enough strikeout upside that he’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper fantasy formats. It’s a tough matchup against a strong Baltimore lineup, but he’s a name to watch closely in all fantasy formats based on his immense raw talent.

    Randy Dobnak limited the Blue Jays to one run over six innings in a victory Sunday.

    Dobnak moved to 3-3 with a 2.54 ERA in 10 starts and two relief appearances. At this point, his rebound at age 31 might be an even better story than his breakthrough at 24. He’ll take on the Red Sox in Boston next weekend.

    Spener Arrighetti was tagged for six runs in 4 2/3 innings in Sunday’s loss to the Royals.

    Arrighetti walked three and gave up two homers that accounted for five of the six runs. He’s allowed 14 earned runs and five homers in 15 2/3 innings over four outings for the Blue Jays. It’s possible he’ll start again next weekend against the Orioles, but the Jays would likely be open to alternatives.

    Brett Bateman went 3-for-3 with a HBP as the Blue Jays’ leadoff man Sunday against the Royals.

    Bateman has come in at .347/.412/.406 through 116 plate appearances and is getting high marks for his defense. Barring a serious drought these last three weeks, it seems like he’s going to be penciled in as the Jays’ center fielder next year.

    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. finished 0-for-4 with a strikeout against the Royals on Sunday.

    One game to sum up Guerrero’s season. He hit the ball 110.0, 110.1 and 108.7 mph in his first three at-bats today, but they were all grounders and were turned into four outs. It’s just the 17th time this year that a player has topped 108 mph in exit velocity three times in a game.

    Brayan Rocchio went 1-for-3 with a solo home run against the Tigers on Sunday.

    Rocchio’s home run was his 13th of the season. He hit a solo shot off Jackson Jobe to tie the game in the fifth inning. It was another devastating home run for the Tigers off the bat of Rocchio, who hit a grand slam and a walk-off home run in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader. He’s hitting .246 with a .684 OPS and 60 RBI this year.

    Riley Greene went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI against the Guardians on Sunday.

    After a hot weekend at the plate in Cleveland, Greene is 7-for-22 (.318) with two home runs, four doubles and eight RBI in five games so far in September. He’s hitting.275 with an .831 OPS and 62 RBI, but is looking to finish the season on a high note.

    Jackson Jobe allowed two runs in five innings and got a no-decision against the Guardians on Sunday.

    Jobe gave up four hits, walked two and struck out seven. He bounced back after allowing five runs in his last start, a loss to the Twins. Jobe was sharper and his seven strikeouts were the most he’s had in a start since returning from injury and tied his career-high that was set last year. He has a 4.45 ERA. Jobe is lined up to face the Rockies at home next weekend.

    Cade Smith struck out five batters and got the win against the Tigers on Sunday.

    Smith entered a tied game in the ninth inning and struck out two in a perfect inning. With the game still tied and the automatic runner on second base in the 10th inning, he struck out the side in order, setting up the Guardians for the walk-off win in the bottom of the inning. Smith’s win was his fifth of the year. He has a 2.25 ERA.
