Overview
- The White Sox designated right-hander José Urquidy for assignment Tuesday and recalled left-hander Noah Schultz from Triple-A Charlotte as the corresponding roster move.
- The DFA removes Urquidy from Chicago’s 40-man roster and places him on waivers, where a claim would transfer him but generally bar the claiming team from using him in the postseason.
- With Chicago, Urquidy worked 22.2 innings over six appearances and posted a 4.37 ERA with 15 strikeouts and five walks, a recent run shaped by lingering effects from Tommy John surgery in 2024–25.
- Noah Schultz returns to the big-league mix as the club leans on younger arms down the stretch, with the White Sox prepared to use starters and multi-inning relievers in flexible roles.
- The roster change also clears the space needed to reinstate right-hander Drew Thorpe from the 60-day injured list and reflects the team’s short-term push to balance health, depth, and postseason eligibility.
