Scahill attended Willowbrook High School in Villa Park, Illinois,[1] and Bradley University, where he played college baseball for the Bradley Braves. The New York Yankees selected Scahill in the 48th round of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft, but he did not sign, and returned to Bradley for his senior year. He was then drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the ninth round of the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft.[2]

Scahill was designated for assignment by the Brewers on January 31, 2017, following the waiver claim of Ehire Adrianza.[5] On May 1, the Brewers purchased Scahill's contract from Colorado Springs.[6]

Chicago White Sox

On December 1, 2017, Scahill signed a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox.[7] He began the season with the Triple–A Charlotte Knights, and was promoted to the major leagues on September 8, 2018.
