sportsApr 4, 2026331

Chicago returned Rule 5 right-hander Jedixson Paez to the Boston Red Sox after he cleared waivers. Paez was a 2025 Rule 5 selection the White Sox could not keep on their major league roster. Rule 5 requires selected players remain on the active roster or be offered back, so Boston reacquires the pitcher. The move highlights Chicago's early-season roster churn and Boston reclaiming pitching depth for its system.
