The White Sox returned Shuster to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
Shuster did not make an appearance during Wednesday's doubleheader against Kansas City, and he'll now head back to the minors after being promoted as the 27th man. The 25-year-old lefty owns a 1.42 ERA through 6.1 big-league innings this season but has run into trouble since being demoted to Charlotte.

White Sox's Jared Shuster: Back as 27th man for doubleheader
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Shuster from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
Shuster was just optioned Tuesday, but he's back a day later to serve as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals. The left-hander is a good bet to eat some innings either in the first game or second game of the twin bill.

White Sox's Jared Shuster: Optioned to Charlotte
Rotowire
The White Sox optioned Shuster to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.
Shuster will lose his spot on Chicago's big-league roster to make room for Jonathan Cannon, who was promoted from Triple-A in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old southpaw was solid during his brief stint in the majors, surrendering just one earned run across 6.1 innings through two appearances. If Shuster is able to continue finding success in the minors, he could return to the White Sox as a multi-inning relief option later this season.

White Sox's Jared Shuster: Solid in relief in 2024 debut
Rotowire
Shuster struck out two across three scoreless innings of relief Monday in the White Sox's 4-0 loss to the Guardians. He struck out two.
Shuster was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday and threw the most innings in a bullpen day for the White Sox. He didn't show overwhelming stuff -- he generated four swinging strikes on 45 total pitches -- but he managed to keep the ball on the ground to avoid any damage. Shuster may not immediately stick on the big-league roster as the team tries to cover innings when the fifth spot in the rotation comes up until Mike Clevinger is ready to make his season debut in May, but the White Sox have plenty of incentive to see if Shuster has the potential to stick in the big-league rotation at some point this summer.

White Sox's Jared Shuster: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
Shuster was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte by the White Sox on Monday.
Tanner Banks will serve as an opener Monday in Cleveland, but Shuster looks to be the prime candidate to follow him in bulk relief. Shuster could also be under consideration for a start until Mike Clevinger is ready. The lefty was knocked around for seven runs and four home runs over four innings in his lone start with Charlotte this season.

White Sox's Jared Shuster: Sent to minor-league camp
Rotowire
The White Sox optioned Shuster to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.
The left-hander allowed three earned runs over two innings during his lone Cactus League start, so it's not a major surprise he won't be opening the season in Chicago's rotation. Shuster had a 5.81 ERA over 52.2 innings (11 starts) with Atlanta last season, and he seems likely to receive a look with the White Sox at some point in 2024 given the organization's poor rotation depth.

White Sox's Jared Shuster: Struggles with slider placement
Rotowire
Shuster allowed three earned runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three across two innings in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Mariners.
Shuster worked through the first inning with ease, striking out two batters without allowing a baserunner. Trouble came in the second frame, however, as he allowed six consecutive batters to reach base. After the outing, Shuster noted that he was happy with his increased velocity but also acknowledged that he struggled to place his slider. He's in the running for a role in the rotation to begin the 2024 season.
White Sox's Jared Shuster: In running for rotation spot
Rotowire
White Sox general manager Chris Getz said Friday that he expects one or both of Shuster and Michael Soroka (forearm) to open 2024 in the rotation, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
Both pitchers were acquired from Atlanta on Thursday as the White Sox look to stock up on some much-needed rotation depth. Getz did say that he's not done in seeking starting pitching additions this winter, but as it stands right now Shuster and Soroka would each seem to have a good shot at a prominent role. Shuster held an ugly 5.81 ERA and 30:26 K:BB across 52.2 innings for Atlanta in 2023, but he's just 25 and was a first-round pick in 2020.

White Sox's Jared Shuster: Headed to Chicago
Rotowire
Shuster was traded from Atlanta to the White Sox on Thursday along with Michael Soroka (forearm), Braden Shewmake, Nicky Lopez and Riley Gowens in exchange for Aaron Bummer.
Atlanta cleared out spots on its 40-man roster with the move, though the exchange could also benefit Shuster. He made his big-league debut in 2023 as a spot starter and struggled to a 5.81 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with a 30:26 K:BB across 52.2 innings. Despite a track record of success in the minors, Shuster likely would have been a longshot to break camp in the majors with Atlanta as a result of his struggles, but he should have a more substantial opportunity to make a big-league impact with his new club in 2024.
Braves' Jared Shuster: Struggles in return to rotation
Rotowire
Shuster did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks over three innings against Miami. He struck out two.
It was a disastrous beginning for Shuster as the rookie surrendered a home run to Luis Arraez to lead off the bottom of the first followed by a three-run homer to Yuli Gurriel just three batters later. The lefty would then go 1-2-3 through the second inning before allowing a fifth run in the third, though only four of the runs were earned. In his first start since being recalled to the majors, Shuster saw his command issues resurface, and he's now allowed four earned runs in each of his last three big-league outings. He's also given up two home runs in two of his last three starts.

Rotowire
Shuster was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
Shuster was called up to start Saturday in Miami but will return to the minors after he surrendered five runs (four earned) across three innings. The rookie left-hander has a 5.64 ERA and 30:26 K:BB across 11 starts (52.2 innings) this season.

Braves' Jared Shuster: Confirmed as Saturday's starter

Shuster will start Saturday's game against the Marlins, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Shuster was recalled to the majors Wednesday but has not yet pitched. His last outing came Sept. 8 with Triple-A Gwinnett, when he worked six innings. Assuming he's effective, Shuster should be able to work deep enough into the game to qualify for a win.

Braves' Jared Shuster: Back in big leagues
Rotowire
Shuster was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
Shuster looks to be in line for long relief for the time being, but it's possible he could net a spot start if Atlanta wants to give its rotation members some extra rest. The rookie left-hander holds a 5.26 ERA over 10 starts with the big club this season.

Braves' Jared Shuster: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
Atlanta optioned Shuster to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
He won't end up getting another turn through the rotation after he stepped in as Atlanta's No. 5 starter this past weekend in place of the injured Yonny Chirinos (elbow). Shuster failed to escape the fifth inning in his start against the Giants on Sunday, taking the loss while giving up four earned runs on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. Atlanta called up right-hander Darius Vines from Triple-A in a corresponding move, and he could end up replacing Shuster as the big club's fifth starter this week if he isn't needed in relief over the next couple of days.

Braves' Jared Shuster: Surrenders four runs in start
Rotowire
Shuster dropped to 4-3 after allowing four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Giants.
Making his first start for Atlanta since June 24, Shuster was solid enough through the first four innings, when he gave up two runs. He was knocked out of the game in the fifth inning, however, after he was charged with two more runs during the Giants' four-run frame. In between his last two MLB outings, Shuster made eight starts with Triple-A Gwinnett, posting an unsightly 7.32 ERA during that stretch. He now owns a 5.26 ERA and 28:24 K:BB through 49.2 MLB innings this season. If he sees another turn in the rotation, he'll likely face the Dodgers on the road next weekend.

Braves' Jared Shuster: Confirmed for Sunday's start
Rotowire
Shuster will start for Atlanta on Sunday in San Francisco, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Shuster has been up with the big club for a few days and available in relief, but he has been slated to start Sunday as long as he wasn't needed out of the bullpen before then. The left-hander has been unimpressive to this point in the majors, posting a 5.00 ERA and 25:22 K:BB over nine starts.
