The White Sox designated RHP Jedixson Paez for assignment.
Fantasy Impact
Paez was selected by the White Sox in the Rule 5 draft. He will head to waivers where he could draw some interest.
Jedixson Paez has claimed a spot on the Chicago White Sox' Opening Day roster. Paez joined the White Sox from Boston as part of the Rule 5 Draft.
Fantasy Impact
Although the 22-year-old righthander pitched to a 6.35 ERA in 11.1 innings this spring and has never pitched above High-A, Paez will break camp with the big league club. Primarily used as a starter in the minors, Paez will likely be used as a long reliever in the majors. He has shown excellent command in his brief career, posting a 307:49 K:BB ratio and a 3.22 ERA in 307.2 career innings. Paez will need to be on Chicago's active roster all season or else be offered back to Boston. He will remain off the fantasy radar until it's known how he will be used and how well he jumps from High-A straight to the show.
Red Sox right-handed prospect Jedixson Paez was taken No. 2 overall by the White Sox in the Rule 5 Draft.
Fantasy Impact
Paez was ranked No. 19 in the Red Sox farm system, according to MLB Pipeline. The 21-year-old posted a 2.79 ERA in seven starts at High-A in 2025. It's an interesting selection as Paez must remain on the White Sox's active roster for the entire 2026 season or be offered back to the Red Sox for $50,000.
