The White Sox remove starting pitcher Noah Schultz in the first inning of a Friday game after an unusual mistake during the early stages of his start, according to reports from multiple outlets. Schultz is taken out before completing the frame, despite the move being described as separate from his pitching performance.
The New York Post and Yahoo Sports both focus on the same early-game incident, emphasizing that Schultz’s removal is driven by the circumstances of the error rather than how he has pitched up to that point. The reports describe the situation as “bizarre,” and note that the decision is made immediately in the first inning.
While both outlets agree on the core facts—that Schultz starts and is then pulled early due to the mistake—they provide limited additional detail beyond the characterization of the incident. Neither report attributes the change to injury or a performance-related pitching issue in the portions provided.
