Overview
- Toronto designated Schultz for assignment to open a 40-man roster spot after Kazuma Okamoto’s contract became official.
- The 28-year-old debuted in 2025 with 13 appearances for the Blue Jays, posting a 4.38 ERA over 24.2 innings with 28 strikeouts and eight walks.
- Washington can shuttle him between the majors and Triple-A thanks to two remaining option years, positioning him to compete for multi-inning relief or rotation depth in spring training.
- Statcast lists a four-seam fastball averaging about 93.8 mph plus a cutter, changeup and slider, with some vulnerability to the long ball in his first MLB stint.
- Schultz was a 2019 14th-round pick by the Brewers and later joined Toronto as the player to be named in the Derek Fisher trade, posting a 3.31 ERA in 25 Triple-A outings in 2025.
