Bo Schultz: Cut loose by Baltimore
The Orioles released Schultz on Saturday, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
Schultz was included among the Orioles' first few wave of cuts earlier this month after posting a 16.20 ERA during Grapefruit League action. The Orioles apparently didn't envision Schultz having any sort of meaningful role in the high minors this season, so he'll get the chance to explore opportunities elsewhere.

Orioles' Bo Schultz: Joins Baltimore
Schultz will attend the Orioles' major-league spring training as a non-roster invitee, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
Schultz last pitched in the majors with Toronto in 2016 as he missed 2017 after Tommy John surgery and spent 2018 in the minors with the Pirates. The 33-year-old has a career 4.54 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 67.1 major-league innings and should battle for a spot in a Baltimore bullpen that features little established talent.

Pirates' Bo Schultz: Back to full health
Schultz (elbow) is pitching without restriction with High-A Bradenton, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic Pittsburgh reports.
Schultz missed all of 2017 due to Tommy John surgery, but after tossing 2.2 scoreless innings for the Marauders, it seems like he's back to 100 percent. He will likely return to Triple-A Indianapolis in the near future to act as an organizational depth piece.

Pirates' Bo Schultz: Sent to minors camp
The Pirates reassigned Schultz (elbow) to their minor-league camp Monday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
The demotion came on the same day that Schultz made his first appearance of the Grapefruit League in the Pirates' 6-3 loss to the Phillies, tossing a scoreless seventh inning. It also marked Schultz's first competitive outing since he underwent Tommy John surgery almost exactly a year earlier. While Schultz has endured no complications thus far in his recovery from the procedure, he'll still need further time to build up his arm after remaining idle for the past year. Schultz will stick around at extended spring training to pitch in additional simulated games or report to High-A Bradenton, which isn't far from the Pirates' facilities in Florida.

Pirates' Bo Schultz: Will pitch one inning against Toronto
Schultz (elbow) is scheduled to take the mound for one inning of Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Blue Jays, Liz Bloom of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Schultz continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery that he underwent last March. The 32-year-old pitched one inning in a simulated game a couple weeks ago and remains on track for a return around early June. Following the end of camp, it's expected that Schultz will stay in Florida for extended spring training before winding up at the Triple-A level once he's fully healthy.

Pirates' Bo Schultz: Throws one inning in sim game
Schultz (elbow) was scheduled to throw one inning in a simulated game Tuesday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic Pittsburgh reports.
It amounts to another small step forward for Schultz, who continues to inch along slowly in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in late March of 2017. Schultz will likely stick around in Florida for extended spring training when camp breaks later this month, allowing the right-hander to pitch in controlled settings before he heads out on a lengthy rehab assignment. Look for Schultz to eventually settle into a bullpen role at Triple-A Indianapolis later this summer.

Pirates' Bo Schultz: Ramps up throwing program
Schultz (elbow) is close to throwing live batting practice, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
Schultz has already thrown a number of bullpen sessions in Pirates camp, so it seems like his rehab from Tommy John surgery is going well. No timetable for his return has been announced as of yet, but given that he underwent Tommy John surgery on March 29 of last year, it seems like he's on track to return sometime in the earlier portion of the season.

Pirates' Bo Schultz: Signs minor-league deal with Pirates
Schultz signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Friday, Chris Cotillo of SBNation.com reports.
Schultz was outrighted off the Blue Jays' 40-man roster at the start of November, which wasn't all too surprising considering he was still working his way back from Tommy John surgery. While that's still the case, the Pirates were willing to give him a minor-league deal with the hope that everything goes as planned in the recovery process. Schultz's last MLB action came in 2016, when he had a 5.51 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 16.1 innings. He'll need to show some improvement and a clean bill of health in order to earn a significant role with his new team.

Blue Jays' Bo Schultz: Outrighted from 40-man
Schultz (elbow) was outrighted off the Blue Jays' 40-man roster Wednesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
This isn't all too surprising, seeing as Schultz recently turned 32 and is in the midst of working his way back from Tommy John surgery. He last pitched in 2016, struggling to a 5.51 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in just 16.1 major-league innings. Seeing as he isn't expected to be ready for the start of the 2018 campaign, it's possible Schultz will have to wait until he's healthy to determine his landing spot.

Blue Jays' Bo Schultz: Makes first throws since TJ
Schultz (elbow) threw for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery in March, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
This is good progress for Schultz, who underwent the procedure on March 29. He won't be able to appear in a game until next season, but it appears that he's still on schedule with his rehab program.

Blue Jays' Bo Schultz: Staying positive during rehab
Schultz (elbow) said via Twitter that he's working hard to return quickly and come back "stronger than ever."
The right-handed reliever underwent Tommy John surgery March 29. Schultz is working his way through the long recovery process, but appears optimistic about his progress. He managed a 3.56 ERA and tidy 1.07 WHIP through 31 games for the Jays in 2015, but faltered last year and spent most of the campaign in the minors.

Blue Jays' Bo Schultz: Hits 10-day DL
Schultz (elbow) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Sunday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports.
Schultz has already been ruled out for the season and will require a 12- to 18-month recovery timetable after undergoing Tommy John surgery a few days ago, so it's likely he'll eventually be moved to the 60-day DL when the Blue Jays are in need of more roster flexibility.

Blue Jays' Bo Schultz: Undergoes Tommy John surgery
Schultz (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery Wednesday and will miss the entire 2017 season, John Lott of The Athletic Toronto reports.
Early indications were that Schultz was just undergoing surgery to remove bone chips from his throwing elbow, but the right-hander opted to go with the Tommy John procedure after ligament damage was detected. With Schultz facing a 12-to-18 month timeline for his recovery, he'll end up having missed much of the past two seasons due to injury, after hip surgery last offseason sidelined him until late June. Given the health questions surrounding Schultz along with the fact that he'll be 32 years old when next spring rolls around, it wouldn't be surprised if he was non-tendered next fall.

Blue Jays' Bo Schultz: Scheduled for elbow surgery
Schultz (elbow) will undergo elbow surgery Wednesday to remove some bone chips, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.
It's still unclear if there's a larger issue looming beyond the bone chips, but the doctors performing the operation intend to also check for any ligament damage, so this situation is worth monitoring in the coming days. Either way, it appears that Schultz will be out for an extended period of time, although a firmer timetable likely won't be available until after the surgery takes place.

Blue Jays' Bo Schultz: Will get second opinion Tuesday
Schultz will seek a second opinion Tuesday from a New York doctor, as he's battling an elbow injury, Mark Zwolinski of the Toronto Star reports.
The severity of Schultz's injury remains unknown, but it appears the right-hander is dealing with a serious situation. Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The FAN reports Schultz is likely going to need elbow surgery. Tuesday's events should clarify where the 31-year-old stands and provide a timetable for his recovery.

Blue Jays' Bo Schultz: Will begin season on DL
Schultz will start the season on the DL with an apparent elbow injury, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The FAN reports.
The 31-year-old underwent offseason hip surgery last year, and now he's set to begin the season on the DL with an apparent elbow injury, though the extent still isn't known. Schultz was a favorite entering camp to win a middle-relief role, but his 6.75 ERA and 1.88 WHIP across 5.1 innings this spring did nothing to help him secure a roster spot. He'll now gear up for what appears to be another long recovery process.

Blue Jays' Bo Schultz: Posting ugly numbers in bullpen race
Schultz has stumbled to a 6.75 ERA and 1.88 WHIP over six Grapefruit League appearances (5.1 innings).
Schultz entered camp as a favorite to win a middle-relief role, but his fate looks much different as spring nears its end. In 2015, the righty was a key contributor (3.56 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and .205 BAA) over 43 innings for the Jays. After that campaign, Schultz underwent offseason hip surgery and has struggled to return to form. With no options remaining on his contract, the 31-year-old would be exposed to waivers (and likely picked up) if he doesn't break camp with the MLB team.

Blue Jays' Bo Schultz: Contending for Opening Day relief job
Schultz is one of many candidates vying for the few remaining spots in the Jays' Opening Day bullpen, MLB.com's Gregor Chisholm reports.
Schultz is out of minor-league options, which may actually help his chances of making the team. The 31-year-old has made 51 relief appearance in the majors, all of which came over the past three years, and owns a career 4.54 ERA over 67.1 innings. Even if Schultz leaves camp with a job on the 25-man-roster, he's unlikely to make a fantasy impact as he'll primarily be used in low-leverage situations.

Blue Jays' Bo Schultz: Primed for bounce-back campaign
With plenty of jobs up for grabs in the Jays' bullpen, Schultz is expected to fill a middle-relief role in 2017, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.
In 2015, the 31-year-old pitched 43 innings over 31 appearances for the Jays (3.56 ERA and 1.07 WHIP), but struggled greatly in his most recent campaign. The right-handed Schultz was battling back from offseason hip surgery and didn't start pitching regularly for Triple-A Buffalo until early May. He posted a 5.51 ERA over 16.1 innings in the big leagues while posting a 3.74 ERA over 33.2 frames in Buffalo. If Schultz can get back to his 2015 ways, the reliever could be in line for double-digits holds in 2017.
