Schultz was included among the Orioles' first few wave of cuts earlier this month after posting a 16.20 ERA during Grapefruit League action. The Orioles apparently didn't envision Schultz having any sort of meaningful role in the high minors this season, so he'll get the chance to explore opportunities elsewhere.

Schultz last pitched in the majors with Toronto in 2016 as he missed 2017 after Tommy John surgery and spent 2018 in the minors with the Pirates. The 33-year-old has a career 4.54 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 67.1 major-league innings and should battle for a spot in a Baltimore bullpen that features little established talent.

Schultz missed all of 2017 due to Tommy John surgery, but after tossing 2.2 scoreless innings for the Marauders, it seems like he's back to 100 percent. He will likely return to Triple-A Indianapolis in the near future to act as an organizational depth piece.

This is good progress for Schultz, who underwent the procedure on March 29. He won't be able to appear in a game until next season, but it appears that he's still on schedule with his rehab program.
