Overview
- The White Sox announced they recalled left-hander Noah Schultz from Triple-A Charlotte and designated right-hander José Urquidy for assignment, removing Urquidy from the 40-man roster and beginning the waiver process.
- Designated for assignment means the team has a short window to trade, release, or place Urquidy on outright waivers and another club could claim him before he can be sent to the minors.
- Chicago acquired Urquidy from the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 26 for right-hander Felix Doroteo and used him in six games this season, when he threw 22 2/3 innings with a 4.37 ERA for the White Sox.
- Urquidy, a 31-year-old who won a World Series with the Houston Astros in 2022, has seen his results decline since that season with rising ERAs in 2023, 2025 and earlier this year.
- The roster change prioritizes short-term roster flexibility for the White Sox as they trim the 40-man ahead of the stretch run and makes it unlikely Urquidy will factor into Chicago’s late-season plans while his next destination depends on waiver activity.
