Dazzles in abbreviated start
Schultz gave up one hit and struck out four over 2.2 scoreless innings in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
Making his first career big-league start, Schultz lasted 45 pitches (28 strikes) before turning the ball over to Eric Lauer and the Blue Jays bullpen to complete a combined shutout. Schultz's 2.03 ERA through 13.1 innings with Toronto this season is a bit misleading -- he gave up four unearned runs May 25 against the Rays -- but his 17:3 K:BB and 0.98 WHIP are just as impressive. The 27-year-old rookie might head back to Triple-A Buffalo once the staff gets healthier, but Schultz is making a strong case to stick around in a long relief or swingman role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
With team in Tampa Bay
Schultz is with the Blue Jays in Tampa Bay on Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
A corresponding move has yet to be announced, but Schultz -- who has spent most of the season with Triple-A Buffalo -- could operate out of the Blue Jays' bullpen as soon as Saturday. He's appeared in two major-league games this season and has allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out 11 across 6.2 innings. Schultz struck out eight batters across 4.1 frames against the Mariners on April 20, which tied a major-league record for a pitcher making their MLB debut in a relief role, per Matheson.
