x/noah-schultz
— 2d
The Chicago White Sox recalled left-hander Noah Schultz from Triple-A Charlotte to potentially serve as a multi-inning reliever as part of an unconventional pitching plan for the stretch run, with manager Will Venable stressing a flexible, mid-inning usage and ongoing evaluation. The move accompanied a broader pitching reshuffle that included designating Jose Urquidy for assignment and activating Tyler Davis from the bereavement list.

Schultz could be useful if Venable actually sticks to that flexible bullpen plan instead of overusing him.
