Availability
Alberto spent most of last season at the High-A level, posting a 2.91 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 45:17 K:BB across 34 innings. The White Sox selected him in the Rule 5 Draft in November but he did not make their Opening Day roster.
Fantasy Impact
Alberto cleared waivers Thursday and was returned to the Rays organization.
The White Sox have placed right-hander Alexander Alberto.
Fantasy Impact
The White Sox selected Alberto in the Rule 5 draft from the Rays in December, meaning the club will have to offer him back to Tampa Bay in exchange for $50K if he clears waivers. The 24-year-old posted a tidy 2.59 ERA across 48 2/3 innings of work between Single-A and High-A for the Rays in 2025.
Alberto (back) was selected by Chicago in the Rule 5 Draft and is competing for a bullpen position. He has surrendered three runs with four strikeouts and two walks across five innings during spring training.
Fantasy Impact
Back tightness forced him out of his scheduled Monday appearance against Colorado. The issue is not considered a significant setback, and Alberto is projected to be available to pitch again within a day or two.
