Tampa Bay Rays

edit

The Tampa Bay Rays selected Schultz in the 14th round of the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft.[4][5] After he signed with the Rays, he made his debut that same year for the Hudson Valley Renegades of the Low–A New York–Penn League[1] and spent the whole season there, going 1-2 with a 3.05 ERA in 44.1 innings pitched. Schultz played for the Bowling Green Hot Rods of the Single–A Midwest League and Charlotte Stone Crabs of the High–A Florida State League in 2014,[6] compiling a combined 4-1 record and 2.40 ERA in 14 starts between both teams. After the 2014 season, the Rays assigned Schultz to the Peoria Javelinas of the Arizona Fall League.[7] Schultz spent the 2015 season with the Montgomery Biscuits of the Double–A Southern League[8][9] where he posted a 9-5 record with a 3.67 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 27 starts. Schultz was invited to spring training with the Rays in 2016 as a non-roster invitee.[10] He spent the 2016 season with the Durham Bulls of the Triple–A International League.[11] In 27 starts, he was 5-7 with a 3.58 ERA. On November 19, 2016, the Rays added Schultz to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[12] In 2017, he began the season back with Durham but was placed on the disabled list on April 8 and missed nearly three months. He pitched only 19.2 innings in 2017. He began 2018 with Durham. He was 1-1 with a 9.98 ERA with 29 strikeouts in 15.1 innings pitching out of the bullpen prior with Triple-A Durham prior to his call-up.[13]

On May 27, 2018, Tampa Bay recalled Schultz.[14] He made his major league debut on May 29 in relief in the seventh inning against the Oakland Athletics, pitching one scoreless inning in which he struck out the side on 14 pitches.[15] However, he was sent back down to Durham after the game to make room for Nathan Eovaldi who was activated from the disabled list.[15] He was recalled back to Tampa on July 8.[16] He finished the season with a 2-2 record in 22 games, striking out 35 in 30+1⁄3 innings.

On January 4, 2019, Schultz was designated for assignment following the acquisition of Oliver Drake.[17]
