Jedixson Paez Makes White Sox's Opening Day Roster
Chicago White Sox right-handed pitching prospect Jedixson Paez has made the Opening Day roster. Paez was a Rule 5 Draft selection. Even though the 22-year-old has yet to spend time in the upper minor leagues, the White Sox believe he is ready to face the top hitters in the sport. Last summer, Paez logged just 19 1/3 innings with High-A Greenville and posted a 2.79 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and a stellar 23:3 K:BB. In 2024, he logged 96 2/3 innings across time at Low-A and High-A, where he carried a 3.17 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and a 113:12 K:BB. Given his high strikeout upside and elite command, Paez is worth monitoring in deeper formats. Due to his lack of experience in the upper levels, managers should expect the right-hander to open the season as a low-leverage reliever.
