Scholtens was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scholtens, who was claimed off waivers by Tampa Bay on Aug. 4 after he was designated for assignment by the White Sox, has a 4.13 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 43:9 K:BB in 32.2 innings across seven starts for the Bulls. The 31-year-old righty hasn't pitched in the majors since 2023, when he logged a 5.29 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 85 innings for the White Sox. He'll likely work as a low-leverage reliever capable of getting more than three outs.

The Rays claimed Scholtens off waivers from the White Sox on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Durham.

EDGE Analysis

Scholtens didn't pitch at all in 2024 and has been limited to 10 appearances (eight starts) in 2025 in the minors after recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 31-year-old has collected a 5.25 ERA and 30:12 K:BB over 36 innings this season and will likely slot into Durham's rotation.

The White Sox designated Scholtens for assignment Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was activated from the 60-day injured list Saturday and optioned to Triple-A Charlotte, and he's now been removed from the 40-man roster while the White Sox open up a spot for right-hander Elvis Peguero, who was claimed off waivers from the Brewers. Scholtens has been sidelined since spring training of 2024 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, and he posted a 5.28 ERA across his eight rehab outings with Charlotte.

The White Sox reinstated Scholtens (elbow) from the injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

Scholtens has been on the shelf all season while working his way back from the Tommy John procedure he underwent last March. He posted a 5.25 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 36 innings between High-A and Triple-A during his rehab assignment, and he'll officially remain in Charlotte as organizational depth now that he's fully recovered.

Scholtens (elbow) resumed his rehab assignment July 13 and has allowed six runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out 11 over 8.1 innings in three outings with Triple-A Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

Scholtens, who is working his way back from March 2024 Tommy John surgery, began a rehab assignment May 6 before experiencing elbow discomfort June 4. After taking about a month off, the righty is now building back up again. He tossed 3.1 innings and 64 pitches in his latest start for Charlotte this past Saturday, so he'll likely require at least one or two more rehab outings before he'll be ready for activation. The White Sox wouldn't appear to have a starting role available for Scholtens, so he could work out of the bullpen or out of the rotation at Triple-A once he's reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

The White Sox pulled Scholtens off his minor-league rehab assignment after he experienced discomfort in his surgically repaired right elbow following his most recent start June 4 with Triple-A Charlotte, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Before being shut down, Scholtens had compiled a 5.96 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB in 22.2 innings across his six rehab starts between Charlotte and High-A Winston-Salem. Given that Scholtens underwent Tommy John surgery last February, the White Sox are likely to proceed cautiously with the right-hander before sending him back out on a rehab assignment. Scholtens' lone big-league action previously came with the White Sox back in 2023, when he submitted a 5.29 ERA in 85 innings over 26 appearances (11 starts).

Scholtens (elbow) struck out two and allowed three earned runs on five hits and no walks over five innings in a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

Scholtens tossed 69 pitches in the outing and appears to be stretched out enough to handle a traditional starter's role, but it's unclear if the White Sox will be keen on including him in the rotation once he's activated from the 60-day injured list. While working his way back from March 1, 2024 Tommy John surgery, Scholtens hasn't looked particularly sharp during his minor-league rehab assignments. Over six starts between Charlotte and High-A Winston-Salem, Scholtens owns a 5.96 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB in 22.2 innings.

The White Sox transferred Scholtens' (elbow) rehab assignment from High-A Winston-Salem to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

On the mend from the Tommy John surgery he underwent March 1, 2024, Scholtens kicked off his rehab assignment with Winston-Salem on May 6. He made his second appearance for the affiliate Sunday, covering four innings and striking out three batters while giving up one earned run on four hits and one walk. The right-hander will continue to build up his innings and pitch counts as he heads to Charlotte, where he's expected to make his third rehab start later this week. The White Sox will likely keep Scholtens in the minors for close to the entirety of his 30-day rehab window, but once activated in late May or early June, he could be in the mix for a spot in the big-league rotation.

Scholtens (elbow) made his first rehab appearance with High-A Winston-Salem on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scholtens missed the entire 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery and was placed on the 60-day injured list in spring training. The right-hander worked three innings Tuesday while allowing three earned runs on five hits and two walks and striking out two. He will need several more rehab outings before being ready to re-join the White Sox.

The White Sox placed Scholtens (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Michael Taylor, whose signing was made official Wednesday. Scholtens had Tommy John surgery last March and will miss at least the first couple months of the 2025 season.
