Noah Schultz Beginning a Rehab Assignment, a Top Waiver-Wire Stash Candidate?
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Noah Schultz (knee) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, per Milb Central. The young left-hander has been sidelined since late May due to patellar tendinitis in his right knee, but it appears he could be nearing a return to the White Sox rotation. Schultz struggled across 38 2/3 innings (eight starts) after being called up for his MLB debut on April 14, recording a 2-4 record with a 5.82 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 33 strikeouts. Command was a major issue for the 22-year-old, as he walked 13.1% of the batters he faced. However, Schultz remains one of the top pitching prospects in baseball and was absolutely dominant across his three Triple-A appearances before the promotion, logging 19 strikeouts and allowing just six baserunners across 14 innings pitched. With his return from injury potentially right around the corner, Schultz could be worth prioritizing on the waiver wire for fantasy managers.
