Schultz exited Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins with an adductor injury, MLB.com reports.
Schultz entered the game in the ninth inning but managed only three pitches before seeking assistance from a trainer. He has battled the injury for roughly a week but believed he was healthy enough to take the mound. Schultz is in camp on a minor-league deal and has allowed four earned runs across 2.2 innings this spring.

Mariners' Jaime Schultz: Assigned to minors
Rotowire
Schultz (oblique) was assigned to Seattle's minor-league spring training Monday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
Schultz suffered a left oblique strain early in camp, which essentially snuffed out any chance he had of making the Opening Day roster. Prior to the injury, he surrendered three runs on three hits and two walks across two innings of work.

Mariners' Jaime Schultz: Dealing with oblique strain
Rotowire
Schultz was diagnosed with a strained left oblique Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Schultz is in camp as a non-roster invitee and was never particularly likely to win a job. It's not clear exactly how much time the oblique issue will cost him, but even missing a relatively brief period will reduce his already slim chances of making the roster.

Mariners' Jaime Schultz: Joins Mariners on minors deal
Rotowire
Schultz signed with the Mariners on Monday as a non-roster invitee.
Schultz earned a bit of time at the big-league level in both 2018 and 2019, but his 5.86 ERA in 35.1 innings of work doesn't inspire much confidence. His 25.9 percent strikeout rate is above league average, but it's been more than offset by a high 13.6 percent walk rate and a very low 28.2 percent groundball rate. If he earns any innings in Seattle this season they will likely come in a low-leverage relief role.
Schultz signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Schultz posted a 5.85 ERA with a 62:27 K:BB over 47.2 innings with Triple-A Omaha last season, but he has struggled in his limited major-league action, as he has a 5.86 ERA over 26 appearances between the Rays and Dodgers. The right-hander will likely serve as organizational depth for Oakland, but he could see some major-league action if injuries occur in the bullpen.

Schultz cleared waivers Sunday and was outrighted to Triple-A Oklahoma City, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Schultz was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Thursday but will remain with the organization for the time being after clearing waivers. The 28-year-old appeared in four major-league games this season, allowing four runs in five innings while striking out three.

Dodgers' Jaime Schultz: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
Schultz was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Saturday's game against the Nationals.
Schultz has not allowed a run while striking out three in three innings thus far this season out of the big-league bullpen. Ross Stripling (biceps tendinitis) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.
Schultz was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Schultz pitched well in three relief appearances, fanning three and allowing just one hit over three scoreless innings of work. However, the Dodgers needed to clear a roster spot for the return of Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) from the injured list, and with Schultz pitching each of the last two days, he was the top candidate for a demotion.

Dodgers' Jaime Schultz: Heads to majors
Rotowire
The Dodgers recalled Schultz from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.
Los Angeles likely just brought up Schultz to get another fresh arm in the bullpen after JT Chargois -- who was optioned to the minors in a corresponding move -- worked in relief the past two days. Schultz made 22 appearances for the Rays in 2018, compiling a 5.64 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 30.1 innings.

Dodgers' Jaime Schultz: Optioned to minor-league camp
Rotowire
Schultz was optioned to minor-league camp Monday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Schultz was designated for assignment earlier in the offseason by the Rays, prior to being dealt to the Dodgers. He made his major-league debut in 2018, but didn't impress, posting a 5.64 ERA and 1.86 WHIP across 30.1 innings. He's likely to serve as pitching depth out of the bullpen for the team this season.

Dodgers' Jaime Schultz: Sent to Dodgers
Rotowire
Schultz was traded from the Rays to the Dodgers on Tuesday in exchange for minor-league pitcher Caleb Sampen, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The Rays were able to find a suitor for Schultz after the right-hander was designated for assignment last week. The 27-year-old made his major-league debut in 2018, struggling to a 5.64 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 5.0 BB/9 in 30.1 innings. He did post an impressive 10.4 K/9 over that same stretch. Schultz will likely serve as pitching depth for the Dodgers in 2019.

Rays' Jaime Schultz: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Schultz was designated for assignment Friday to make room for new acquisition Oliver Drake, Juan Toribio of The Athletic reports.
Schultz pitched in the majors for the first time last season, finishing with an unimpressive 5.64 ERA in 30.1 innings. His 28.0 percent strikeout rate was quite good but wasn't enough to overcome a 13.6 percent walk rate or 29.0 percent groundball rate.

Rays' Jaime Schultz: Allows four runs in loss
Rotowire
Schultz (2-2) suffered the loss against the Yankees on Thursday, allowing four earned runs, two hits and two walks over 0.2 innings. He struck out two.
Schultz served as the opener in Thursday's game while making his first career start in the big leagues, but he wasn't able to get out of the first frame. He gave up a run on a wild pitch after loading the bases, and then Miguel Andujar launched a three-run homer to chase him from the game with two outs in the first. With 30.1 innings under his belt so far in 2018, Schultz owns a 5.64 ERA with a 35:17 K:BB ratio.
