White Sox remove Noah Schultz after manager's double visit blunder

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Noah Schultz was removed from the game after only one out due to a rules infraction by manager Will Venable. Venable mistakenly visited the mound twice in the first inning, prompting umpires to rule Schultz had to be replaced after his second visit. Schultz had faced five batters, allowing two runs, before being replaced by rookie David Sandlin. The mishap occurred early in the game, setting the tone for a challenging match that saw the Guardians lead 2-0. Following the incident, Sandlin struggled on the mound, allowing six runs over 5 1/3 innings in an eventual 8-2 loss for the White Sox. The defeat narrows their division lead to two games over both the Guardians and Minnesota Twins.
