Overview
- Chicago announced Sunday that 22-year-old Noah Schultz will start Tuesday at Rate Field against Tampa Bay.
- Schultz earned the nod after three Triple-A outings for Charlotte with a 3-0 record, a 1.29 ERA, 19 strikeouts, two walks, and only four hits allowed in 14 innings.
- Manager Will Venable said this is not a spot start, noting Schultz will join the rotation with his workload tracked because he has never thrown more than about 88 innings in a season.
- The 2022 first-round pick ranks No. 2 in the White Sox system and No. 46 in baseball, and scouts point to an upper-90s fastball and a wipeout slider from a low arm slot.
- Multiple reports say utilityman Sam Antonacci will also be promoted Tuesday, reflecting a broader push to bring prospects to the majors and address thin depth across the lineup.
