Sharp in no-decision Scholtens came away with a no-decision Tuesday in the White Sox's 9-3 loss to the Orioles, allowing one run on six hits over 5.1 innings. He struck out one without walking a batter...

Impact The right-hander wasn't dominant, managing only five swinging strikes among his 91 pitches, but he generated plenty of weak contact and didn't give up an extra-base hit before exiting the game with the score tied 1-1. It was a solid bounce-back effort for Scholtens after he'd been tagged for 10 runs over his prior two starts, but since joining the rotation for good at the beginning of August he's posted a 4.73 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB through 32.1 innings. He'll likely next take the mound early next week in Kansas City.

Struggles again Thursday Scholtens allowed five runs on six hits and no walks while striking out four batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Oakland on Thursday.

Impact Scholtens made it through three scoreless frames before serving up a three-run homer to Shea Langeliers in the fourth. Langeliers tagged him for another long ball in the sixth, coming two batters after a Brent Rooker solo shot, and that ended Scholtens' night on a sour note after what had been a promising beginning. The right-hander has given up 10 runs over 8.2 frames across his past two starts following an intriguing stretch during which he posted three straight quality starts.

Cooled at Coors Field Scholtens (1-6) took the loss against Colorado on Saturday, allowing five runs on five hits and five walks while striking out two batters over three innings.

Impact Scholtens came into the contest with three straight quality starts since entering the rotation full-time July 29, but he couldn't extend that streak in the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field. Though the stadium has a reputation as a launchpad for homers, that wasn't the right-hander's problem Saturday. In fact, Scholtens didn't allow any extra-base hits, but he threw only 43 of 86 pitches for a strike and walked a season-high five batters, including four in a three-run first inning. He'll probably maintain his spot in the rotation for a White Sox squad that is well out of postseason contention, but this was a definite dud following the promising start to his big-league career as a starter.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pitches well again but takes loss Scholtens (1-5) took the loss against Milwaukee on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five batters over 6.1 innings.

Impact Scholtens picked up his third straight quality start, but he doesn't have a win to show for it. The right-hander had a 2-0 lead through six frames Saturday before allowing three of the four batters he faced in the seventh to reach base. All three came around to score, saddling Scholtens with a disappointing defeat. Despite the difficulty getting into the win column, he's gained traction as a viable fantasy starter, posting a 2.95 ERA and 17:5 K:BB over 18.1 innings since moving into the rotation full-time Aug. 1.

Nabs another quality start Scholtens did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk over six innings against the Guardians. He struck out six.

Impact Scholtens was effective Sunday, holding Cleveland to just a pair of earned runs on a Gabriel Arias homer in the fifth inning. The 29-year-old rookie has pitched well over his last two starts, allowing just three earned runs on nine hits over 12 innings while striking out 12. Overall, Scholtens is 1-4 with a 3.06 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 35:14 K:BB across 50 innings this season. He's slated for an extended stay in Chicago's rotation following the trades of Lance Lynn and Lucas Giolito. Scholtens is tentatively lined up for a home matchup with the Brewers in his next outing.

AUGUST 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains in rotation Scholtens will start Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Scholtens moved from the bullpen into a starting role Tuesday after the White Sox dealt away Lance Lynn and Lucas Giolito and held his own in a matchup with a tough Texas lineup, covering six innings and striking out six while allowing one earned run on three hits and one walk. The right-hander will pick up his fourth start of the season Sunday and looks poised for an extended stay in the rotation.

AUGUST 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes tough loss Scholtens (1-4) took the loss Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk over six innings against the Rangers. He struck out six.

Impact Scholtens carved up the potent Rangers offense Tuesday, needing just 80 pitches to complete six innings, but the White Sox didn't provide him with any run support and he left the game trailing 1-0. The 29-year-old rookie's only blemish came on a solo shot by Mitch Garver in the fifth inning. The majority of Scholtens' appearances have come as a reliever this year, but this strong outing may earn him some more starts down the stretch.

AUGUST 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod Tuesday Scholtens is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Rangers at Globe Life Field, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Scholtens has previously made two starts this season with the White Sox, but his last five appearances with the club has come as a reliever, with the right-hander covering no more than two innings in any of those outings. As such, Scholtens shouldn't be counted on to work deep into Tuesday's start, though the 29-year-old should have a decent chance at holding down a rotation spot moving forward. Even though Chicago returned Mike Clevinger from the injured list last week, the team still has one permanent opening in the five-man rotation after recently trading away Lucas Giolito and Lance Lynn.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Working out of bullpen Scholtens has made his last three appearances as a reliever, striking out one over 3.2 innings while allowing one unearned run on four hits and two walks.

Impact Scholtens made his final appearance before the All-Star break as a starter, but after surrendering three runs on 11 hits in four innings against the Blue Jays in that July 6 outing, he's since moved back to the bullpen. Touki Toussaint has taken over as the White Sox's No. 5 starter and thus far performed well enough to hold down that role until Chicago gets Mike Clevinger (biceps) back from the 15-day injured list.

JULY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dinged for 11 hits in start Scholtens allowed three runs one 11 hits and no walks while striking out one batter over four-plus innings in a no-decision against Toronto on Thursday.

Impact Scholtens made just the second start of his major-league career, though he's frequently pitched multiple innings in long relief. The right-hander fooled few Blue Jays batters, notching just four whiffs and one punchout, so he was fortunate to give up only three runs despite yielding a career-worst 11 hits. Scholtens has been pretty good out of the bullpen this season, posting a 2.78 ERA over 22.2 innings. It's uncertain if he'll get another chance to start after the All-Star break with both Mike Clevinger (biceps) and Michael Kopech (shoulder) approaching activation from the injured list.

JULY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Getting ball in second game Scholtens will start for the White Sox in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the White Sox, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact All but one of Scholtens' 10 appearances for the White Sox this season have come in relief, but he's provided plenty of bulk in going four innings each of his last two times out. Chicago does still figure to use plenty of arms in the nightcap, so they'll be hoping for length out of Lance Lynn in the afternoon tilt.

JULY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nabs win in bulk role Scholtens (1-2) allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three over four scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday over the Red Sox.

Impact Scholtens ended up pitching the most innings of four White Sox pitchers in the contest, piggybacking opener Tanner Banks's 2.2 innings of one-run ball. Scholtens' third stint in the big leagues has been much more effective than his first two -- he's pitched 6.2 consecutive scoreless innings since he was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on June 16. He's at a 2.31 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB through 23.1 innings over nine outings (one start) this season. With Mike Clevinger (biceps) likely out through the end of the month, Scholtens could get one more chance to cover bulk-relief innings. That would line up as a road appearance versus the Athletics, though it's far from a guarantee he'll get the assignment.

JUNE 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Secures first save Scholtens picked up the save in Saturday's 4-3 victory over the Mariners, striking out one over a perfect inning.

Impact Scholtens was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday and tossed a scoreless inning in his first appearance since May 31. He was called upon again Saturday, but this time in an extra-innings save opportunity, as Joe Kelly and Kendall Graveman were likely unavailable after recently pitching back-to-back days. Scholtens didn't disappoint and secured his first career save with a perfect inning, but he isn't expected to be used in high-leverage situations on a regular basis.

JUNE 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned to big leagues Scholtens was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Scholtens is taking Mike Clevinger's (biceps) spot on the roster and looks like a candidate to take his place in the rotation, as well, if he's not needed in relief before then. The righty holds a 3.24 ERA and 9:8 K:BB over 16.2 innings covering one start and four relief appearances with the big club this season.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Scholtens was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Scholtens will return to Charlotte after being called up May 22, appearing in three games, including one start, over his second stint with the White Sox this season. The right-hander performed well, allowing five runs on eight hits and six walks while striking out five batters over 13.2 innings in those outings. Scholtens has certainly shown enough on the major-league mound to garner another opportunity with Chicago later this summer.

JUNE 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mops up behind Lance Lynn Scholtens worked in long relief in Wednesday's 12-5 loss to the Angels, tossing four innings and striking out one while allowing two earned runs on two hits and two walks.

Impact Scholtens had made his previous appearance as a starter back on Saturday, but the White Sox made him available out of the bullpen on three days' rest for the series finale with the Halos. With starter Lance Lynn getting lit up for eight earned runs over just four innings, Scholtens was thrust into mop-up duty and generally kept the Anaheim bats quiet, aside from surrendering a two-run home run to Taylor Ward. With Mike Clevinger (wrist) expected to return from the 15-day injured list and reclaim his spot at the back end of the Chicago rotation, Scholtens could soon be headed back to Triple-A Charlotte so that he can make regular starts.

JUNE 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mediocre in first career start Scholtens did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Tigers. He struck out three.

Impact Scholtens took the spot of Mike Clevinger (wrist) in the White Sox rotation, getting his first MLB start after being called up earlier in the week and serving in a bulk relief role. Considering Scholten boasts a 2.79 ERA with four strikeouts and four walks over 9.2 innings since his call-up, he remains no more than a dart-throw streaming option, especially considering his stay in the big leagues will likely be brief.

MAY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Tigers on Saturday Scholtens will start against the Tigers on Saturday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Scholtens last worked as a bulk reliever against the Guardians on Monday, and he allowed a run over five innings of work in that outing. He'll replace Mike Clevinger (wrist) in the rotation spot, and a strong effort against the Detroit lineup come Saturday should bode well on him making multiple starts while Clevinger recovers.

MAY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Operates as bulk reliever Scholtens (0-2) took the loss Monday against the Guardians, allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out one over five innings.

Impact Scholtens replaced Mike Clevinger (wrist) on the major-league roster Monday and operated as the bulk reliever behind Jimmy Lambert, who started but pitched just one inning. It was Scholtens first MLB appearance since April 11 and just his third career big-league outing. The right-hander has surrendered just two earned runs on six hits over his first eight innings while posting a 5:4 K:BB. Clevinger will miss at least 15 days, so Scholtens should get a few more opportunities to impress over the next two weeks.

Called up Monday Scholtens was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Impact Scholtens will join the White Sox ahead of their three-game series in Cleveland, replacing Mike Clevinger (wrist) on the major-league roster after Clevinger was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday. Scholtens will likely replace Clevinger in the starting rotation, setting him up to start Saturday versus the Tigers. The right-hander has tossed three innings with Chicago in 2023, surrendering one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four over two appearances out of the bullpen. With Charlotte, he's produced a 3.99 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 42 strikeouts over 38.1 innings in seven starts and he'll look to keep up that level of production in his second stint with the White Sox this year.

Could be next starter up White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Wednesday that Scholtens would be the "next man up" if there is a need for a starter in the major-league rotation, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com r...

Impact That role at one point belonged to Davis Martin, but he's done for the rest of the 2023 campaign -- and most of 2024 -- after undergoing Tommy John surgery Wednesday. Scholtens made his MLB debut last month and allowed two runs -- one earned -- on four hits and two walks over three innings of relief. The 29-year-old right-hander has posted a 3.99 ERA and 42:11 K:BB in 38.1 innings this season at Triple-A Charlotte, where he's currently stationed.
