Jedixson Paez

2026 Fantasy Outlook
Paez was limited to just 19.1 innings in High-A Greenville in 2025 while working through a calf injury, though he did look good in limited action with a 2.79 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 23:3 K:BB. He was picked up by the White Sox in December in the Rule 5 Draft and will have the opportunity to work his way up the South Siders' organization. He's posted a 10-plus K/9 in each of his last two seasons in the minors, and he's also demonstrated his control with a low walk rate. That makes Paez -- who will turn 22 in January -- an interesting flyer option in deep dynasty formats. Read Past Outlooks

The White Sox selected Paez with the second pick in the Rule 5 Draft on Wednesday.
Analysis
A skinny 6-foot-1 righty from the Red Sox's farm system, Paez only logged 19.1 innings at Double-A in 2025 due to a calf injury. Long known for his stingy control, Paez's walk rates have been below four percent at ever stop since the start of the 2023 season. He lacks impact stuff, but if the White Sox can coax a bit more velocity out of his 91-92 mph fastball, Paez could make it as a back-end starter. He'll likely work as a low-leverage reliever for as long as he sticks on Chicago's active roster in 2026.
