White Sox Designate José Urquidy for Assignment and Recall Noah Schultz

Freeing a 40-man spot to reinstate Drew Thorpe, the move begins a waiver process that could make Urquidy ineligible for postseason play if another club claims him.

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.
