The Cardinals signed Shuster to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

A first-round pick in the 2020 First-Year Player Draft, Shuster was once a prospect of some note. However, the left-hander's performance thus far at the major-league level hasn't been encouraging, as he holds a 5.27 ERA and 98:64 K:BB over 141.2 innings covering parts of three seasons. Shuster is capable of starting and relieving, and it's unclear what role the Cardinals have in mind for him, but he has a chance to make the roster on a rebuilding squad.

The Athletics released Shuster Dec. 10.

EDGE Analysis

Shuster had been removed from the 40-man roster in November, and now he's out of the organization altogether. A first-round pick in 2020, Shuster has failed to figure things out at the major-league level, posting a 5.27 ERA and 98:64 K:BB over 141.2 innings.

The Athletics outrighted Shuster to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Shuster was claimed off waivers by the Athletics in August but has not made an appearance for them at the big-league level. The 27-year-old was a full-time reliever for the first time in 2025 and posted an 8.04 ERA and 12:5 K:BB over 15.2 innings this year with the White Sox.

The Athletics claimed Shuster off waivers Friday from the White Sox. He was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox designated Shuster for assignment Wednesday, and he'll get a fresh start with the A's. The 26-year-old posted an 8.04 ERA in 15.2 innings with the White Sox and a 6.04 ERA at Triple-A Charlotte during 2025.

The White Sox designated Shuster for assignment Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the return of Martin Perez (elbow) from the 60-day injured list. Shuster has collected a 5.27 ERA over 62 appearances (17 starts) at the big-league level.

The White Sox returned Shuster (finger) from his rehab assignment Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shuster has been sidelined since June 8 with a blister on his pitching hand, but after making a trio of rehab starts, he's been activated from the 15-day injured list. However, the 26-year-old will lose his spot on the active roster and remain in Charlotte, where he completed his rehab assignment.

Shuster (finger) threw one scoreless inning in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shuster has been on the injured list since June 8 with a blister on his left hand. He should return to the White Sox bullpen prior to the All-Star break. Shuster has struggled across 15.2 innings this season, allowing 14 earned runs paired with a 12:5 K:BB.

The White Sox placed Shuster on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a blister on his left hand.

EDGE Analysis

Shuster last pitched Wednesday against Detroit, allowing four runs in one inning as an opener. He appears to have picked up a blister in that outing and will now be sidelined for about two weeks. The IL move is retroactive to June 5, so Shuster will be eligible to be activated June 20. In corresponding roster moves, the White Sox signed veteran reliever Tyler Alexander and transferred Fraser Ellard to the 60-day IL.

Shuster will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shuster will draw an opener assignment for the second time in less than a week, after he tossed a scoreless inning last Friday against Baltimore. The southpaw has maxed out at three innings over his 17 appearances between the White Sox and Triple-A Charlotte this season, so he could be called upon to give Chicago a little more length in his second turn as an opener. The White Sox haven't announced their plans for once Shuster exits the contest, but righty Mike Vasil could be a candidate to work as a bulk reliever.

Shuster will work as the opener Friday in Baltimore, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The game got pushed up a few hours due to inclement weather, so Shuster is going to give primary pitcher Sean Burke more time to get ready. Shuster has been back and forth between Triple-A and the majors a couple times this month, and he has a 1.93 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 3:2 K:BB in 4.2 innings over his three most recent appearances with the big club.
