• White Sox's Jared Shuster: Sharp in spot start

  09/19/2024 • By RotoWire

  Shuster came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Angels, giving up one hit and striking out one over three scoreless innings. The 26-year-old lefty was making his fourth start in 37 big-league appearances this season, and the three frames represented Shuster's biggest workload since a four-inning relief stint July 26. He's put together decent numbers in a swingman role this year, posting a 4.35 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 52:29 K:BB through 70.1 innings, but it's not clear whether the White Sox will give him another crack at winning a full-time spot in the rotation next spring.

• White Sox's Jared Shuster: Leading off in bullpen game

  09/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Shuster is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Angels, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports. Shuster will take the hill first for the White Sox in what's likely to be a bullpen day featuring a parade of relievers once the left-hander exits the contest. Considering that he's worked two-plus innings in seven of his last 11 appearances, Shuster should be able to offer more length than the typical opening pitcher, but he's still unlikely to work deep enough into the contest to qualify for a win.

• White Sox's Jared Shuster: Opening final game before break

  07/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Shuster is listed as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Pirates. According to James Fegan of SoxMachine.com, White Sox manager Pedro Grifol had previously said Saturday that Chad Kuhl was likely to start Sunday's series finale, but Shuster will instead get the ball for Chicago in its final game before the All-Star break. Shuster has prior starting experience, but he's mostly worked out of the bullpen since being called up from Triple-A Charlotte on May 1, covering no more than 3.1 innings in any of his subsequent 18 appearances. He'll be taking the hill on one day rest Sunday, so Shuster is unlikely to work more than once through the batting order before turning the game over to Kuhl and the rest of the White Sox bullpen.

• White Sox's Jared Shuster: Throws two innings

  07/05/2024 • By RotoWire

  Shuster (1-1) took the loss Thursday against Cleveland, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks across two innings. He struck out two. Shuster drew his first start of the season Thursday. Considering he'd thrown three innings four times this season and had thrown only one-third of an inning since June 27, there was optimism he'd be able to go deeper into Thursday's game, but he made it only two innings before being yanked. It's unclear if he was on a pitch count or if his removal was due to a lackluster performance. Regardless, the 25-year-old should be expected to head back to the bullpen, especially with Mike Clevinger (elbow/neck) likely to return next week.

• White Sox's Jared Shuster: Starting Thursday

  07/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  Shuster will start Thursday's game against the Guardians, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Shuster has appeared in 17 games for the White Sox this season, posting a 3.15 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 34.1 innings, but Thursday will mark his first start of the season. The 25-year-old southpaw worked almost exclusively as a starter throughout his professional career before joining the White Sox in the offseason, so he should be able to pitch well into Thursday's game before Chicago turns to its bullpen. Shuster may be in line for just a spot start, as the White Sox could get Mike Clevinger (elbow/neck) back from the 15-day injured list next week to complete their rotation.
