Resumes mound work Schultez (finger) threw a bullpen session on Friday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Schultz has been on the IL since late June due to inflammation in his right middle finger, and Friday is the first time since then that he's thrown off a mound. He figures to have a good chance to return when eligible immediately after the All-Star break, though his job security in Toronto's bullpen is less certain.

Blue Jays try to extend road win streak in matchup with the White Sox

Playing catch Schultz (finger) has begun playing catch from 60 feet, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The righty reliever was shut down in late June due to finger inflammation. Schultz likely won't need a rehab assignment before coming off the IL, giving him a chance to be activated right after the All-Star break, but it's not clear if there will be a spot for him in the big-league bullpen once he's healthy.

Blue Jays put Schultz on 15-day injured list with finger inflammation, recall Bruihl BOSTON - Right-handed pitcher Paxton Schultz has been placed on the Toronto Blue Jays' 15-day injured list.

JUNE 29, 2025 • THESTAR.COM

Shelved with finger issue The Blue Jays placed Schultz on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right middle finger inflammation.

Impact Schultz's finger issue presumably cropped up during his relief appearance in the Blue Jays' 15-1 loss to the Red Sox on Saturday, when he retired just four of the 10 batters he faced while allowing three earned runs on five hits and one walk. The Blue Jays recalled lefty Justin Bruihl from Triple-A Buffalo to join the bullpen as a replacement for Schultz, who won't be eligible to return from the IL until after the All-Star break.

Blue Jays cut veteran reliever Erik Swanson, put struggling starter Bowden Francis on IL

The Toronto Blue Jays have cut veteran reliever Erik Swanson and put struggling starter Bowden Francis on the 15-day injured list because of a right shoulder impingement

JUNE 17, 2025 • Associated Press

Back in majors The Blue Jays recalled Schultz from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Impact The right-hander was sent to Buffalo on June 8 but will rejoin Toronto on Tuesday with Bowden Francis (shoulder) headed to the injured list. Schultz has a 3.06 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 24:4 K:BB in 17.2 major-league inning across eight appearances (two starts) this year, and he could be a factor in the Blue Jays' rotation while Francis is out.

Optioned to Triple-A Schultz was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo after Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Twins.

Impact Schultz tossed a scoreless frame in the bottom of the eighth inning Sunday, allowing two hits while striking out the side. The right-hander posted a 3.06 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with 24 strikeouts over 17.2 innings in eight appearances, including two starts, with Toronto after being called up May 24. Spencer Turnbull was called up from Buffalo in a corresponding move, but Schultz will likely return to the major-league roster in the not-too-distant future.

Yields three runs as opener Schultz gave up three runs on four hits while striking out one across two innings in Friday's 6-4 win over Minnesota. He did not issue a walk.

Impact Schultz was named the opener for Friday's contest despite working on just two days of rest. That may have factored into his shaky performance, as he yielded at least one run in both of his frames, including a Trevor Larnach solo homer in the first. Schultz tossed 40 pitches (24 strikes) and generated five whiffs before handing the ball off to Eric Lauer for the third inning. Schultz has a 3.24 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB across 16.2 innings this season.

Serving as opener Friday Schultz will be the Blue Jays' opening pitcher for Friday's contest in Minnesota, mmm reports.

Impact Eric Lauer is expected to follow Schultz in a bulk relief role. Schultz is stretched out as a long reliever, but he'll be on two days' rest Friday, so his appearance figures to be relatively brief.

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.

Impact 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.
