Noah Schultz

CWS Starting Pitcher #76

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Noah Schultz (knee) threw a bullpen session on Wednesday at Comerica Park.

The excitement is palpable for Chicago in the wake of top prospect Braden Montgomery’s electric debut and Schultz’s impending return would provide a spark to the rotation. The towering 22-year-old southpaw will need at least one additional bullpen session before heading out on a rehab assignment. He’s been on the shelf recovering from knee tendinitis since May 26.
Colson Montgomery

CWS Shortstop #12

Colson Montgomery (back) remains out of the lineup for the second straight game on Wednesday against the Braves.

Montgomery told reporters he tweaked his back a couple weeks ago. He’ll continue receiving treatment and is likely to sit out Thursday’s series finale as well. It doesn’t sound like he’s in danger of requiring a trip to the injured list. It’ll be Luisangel Acuña handling shortstop once again in his absence.
Chris Murphy

CWS Relief Pitcher #38

White Sox recalled LHP Chris Murphy from Triple-A Charlotte.

Murphy rejoins Chicago’s relief mix with fellow southpaw Tyler Gilbert heading to the injured list with a shoulder impingement. The 28-year-old has compiled an underwhelming 6.75 ERA across 9 1/3 innings for Chicago this season.
Tyler Gilbert

CWS Relief Pitcher #40

White Sox placed LHP Tyler Gilbert on the 15-day injured list with a left shoulder impingement.

Gilbert will miss at least a couple weeks with the shoulder ailment. The 32-year-old lefty has allowed seven runs over 3 2/3 innings across four appearances for the White Sox this season.
Erick Fedde

CWS Starting Pitcher #47

Erick Fedde worked five innings in relief while allowing just two runs — one of them earned — against Atlanta on Tuesday.

Fedde worked behind opener Brandon Elsert, and Elsert gave up a two-run homer while getting just two outs before exiting. Fedde was much more effective, and he struck out four while scattering six hits before leaving with one out in the seventh. Fedde has looked solid over his last few outings after his ugly start to the campaign, but fantasy managers should be aware that he has to face the Dodgers on Sunday.
Braden Montgomery

CWS Center Fielder #92

Braden Montgomery hit a walk-off two-run homer in his MLB debut to give the White Sox a 6-5 win over Atlanta on Tuesday.

Montgomery also had an RBI single in the fourth, but obviously that’s not the headline. The 23-year-old came to the plate with two outs in the bottom of the tenth and the White Sox trailing by one, and he connected on his first MLB roundtripper to give Chicago the walk-off win. Montgomery is one of the best outfield prospects in the sport, and while fantasy managers have to be prepared for ups and downs from the outfielder in his rookie campaign, the talent is obvious. He’s absolutely worthy of roster consideration right now.
Colson Montgomery

CWS Shortstop #12

Colson Montgomery is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Braves with back tightness.

White Sox manager Will Venable told reporters that Montgomery is day-to-day for now. The 24-year-old shortstop is hitting just .154 (4-for-26) with two homers and three RBI over his last seven games. Luisangel Acuña, who does not switch-hit, will take over at shortstop in his absence.
Austin Hays

CWS Left Fielder #21

White Sox transferred OF Austin Hays from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

Hays is now technically off the 40-man roster, and that creates room for Braden Montgomery to join the club. Hays was pulled off his rehab assignment at the beginning of the month while recovering from his left calf strain, and won’t be eligible to rejoin Chicago until the early portion of July.
Rikuu Nishida

CWS 2nd Baseman

White Sox optioned OF Rikuu Nishida to Triple-A Charlotte.

Nishida went 12-for-29 (.241) without an extra base hit or a stolen base after being promoted from Triple-A near the end of May. He’ll head back to Triple-A with Braden Montgomery ready to join the White Sox in a corresponding move.
David Sandlin

CWS Starting Pitcher #54

White Sox optioned RHP David Sandlin to Triple-A Charlotte.

Sandlin gets the demotion after struggling over 3 1/3 innings and allowing three runs against the Phillies on Sunday. The 25-year-old will likely be back before the season concludes, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere whenever that promotion takes place.
