Episode Details

White Sox pitching prospect Hagen Smith, just 22 and once their 4 prospect for 2026, is sidelined with a left shoulder impingement—gone for two weeks, then another two weeks of rehab before even thinking about returning to the mound. That means at least a month off, crushing his potential big league debut window. His last start—seven earned runs—might’ve been the warning sign. Meanwhile, fellow lefty Noah Schultz, the team’s 3 prospect and April call-up, is nearing a rehab return after knee tendinitis. With Chicago tied for first, fans hope Schultz can help push them toward the playoffs, while Smith’s MLB dreams are on hold for now.
