Returns from injured list
The Nationals activated Schultz (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Analysis
Schultz missed much of spring training and the start of the season while recuperating from right elbow inflammation, but he's ready to go after making three rehab appearances. He was claimed off waivers by the Nationals over the offseason and is likely slated for a middle-relief role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
With team in Tampa Bay
Schultz is with the Blue Jays in Tampa Bay on Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
A corresponding move has yet to be announced, but Schultz -- who has spent most of the season with Triple-A Buffalo -- could operate out of the Blue Jays' bullpen as soon as Saturday. He's appeared in two major-league games this season and has allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out 11 across 6.2 innings. Schultz struck out eight batters across 4.1 frames against the Mariners on April 20, which tied a major-league record for a pitcher making their MLB debut in a relief role, per Matheson.
