Veteran reliever Lucas Sims added to roster. <\/p>\n<p>The Chicago White Sox designated right-handed pitcher Jedixson P\u00e1ez for assignment on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, to make room for veteran reliever Lucas Sims on the active roster.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/whitesox\/status\/2039347205081813263?s=20\"><\/p>\n<p>P\u00e1ez, 22, was selected by the White Sox from the Boston Red Sox organization in the December 2025 Rule 5 Draft. He made the Opening Day roster but struggled in three relief appearances, allowing <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/p\/paezje01.shtml\">six earned runs on four hits<\/a> (including two home runs) and three walks in just three innings pitched, with no strikeouts. <\/p>\n<p>The move comes less than a week into the 2026 season. P\u00e1ez will now be placed on waivers. If claimed by another team, he must remain on that club\u2019s active roster for the remainder of the season under Rule 5 restrictions. If he clears waivers, he will be offered back to the Red Sox for $50,000. Boston can then assign him to a minor league affiliate without placing him on the 40-man roster.<\/p>\n<p>P\u00e1ez had never pitched above High-A before being selected in the Rule 5 Draft. He dealt with a partial calf tear that sidelined him for about four months last season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color has-link-color has-sm-font-size wp-elements-65f0d2a0492239f364191a9e0f5c9832 has-lg-margin-top has-no-margin-bottom\" style=\"color:#000000a1\" data-content-name=\"cta-middle-content-engagement\" data-track-content=\"\">Story continues below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center is-style-heading has-lg-font-size has-no-margin-top\">More Sports News<\/p>\n<p>\t .wp-block-group__inner-container:has(> .embla),<br \/>\n\t.wp-block-group:where(.alignfull) > .wp-block-group__inner-container:has(> .embla) {<br \/>\n\t\twidth: calc(100vw &#8211; (var(&#8211;side-spacing) * 2)) !important;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla {<br \/>\n\t\tposition: relative;<br \/>\n\t\toverflow: hidden;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla__container {<br \/>\n\t\tdisplay: flex;<br \/>\n\t\tflex-wrap: nowrap;<br \/>\n\t\tgap: 0 !important;<br \/>\n\t\twidth: 75%;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla__slide {<br \/>\n\t\tmargin-inline-end: var(&#8211;column-gap);<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla__arrow,<br \/>\n\t.embla__arrow:active,<br \/>\n\t.embla__arrow:target,<br \/>\n\t.embla__arrow:hover,<br \/>\n\t.embla__arrow:focus-visible {<br \/>\n\t\tdisplay: none;<br \/>\n\t\tposition: absolute;<br \/>\n\t\ttop: 50%;<br \/>\n\t\ttransform: translateY(-50%);<br \/>\n\t\twidth: 40px;<br \/>\n\t\theight: 40px;<br \/>\n\t\tmargin: 0;<br \/>\n\t\tpadding: 0;<br \/>\n\t\tline-height: 0;<br \/>\n\t\tbackground: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.75);<br \/>\n\t\tcolor: var(&#8211;color-primary);<br \/>\n\t\tborder-radius: 100vw;<\/p>\n<p>\t\tsvg {<br \/>\n\t\t\twidth: 24px;<br \/>\n\t\t}<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla__prev {<br \/>\n\t\tleft: 0;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla__next {<br \/>\n\t\tright: 0;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t]]><\/p>\n<p>The White Sox selected Sims\u2019 contract from Triple-A Charlotte in the corresponding move.
