Boston assigned Paez to Double-A Portland after giving up $50,000 to obtain his rights, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masslive.com\/redsox\/2026\/04\/red-sox-reacquire-22-year-old-prospect-after-three-outings-with-white-sox.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">according to Christopher Smith of MassLive. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Paez was selected by Chicago second overall in the Rule 5 Draft in December, immediately making the jump from high-A to MLB. He was horrid in his three starts with the White Sox, allowing four hits, six earned runs, two homers and three walks in three innings pitched.<\/p>\n<p>Given the Red Sox&#8217; depth at starting pitching and Paez&#8217; youth, it is unlikely the 22-year-old righty would return to the big-league level this season. The organization&#8217;s starting pitchers have struggled at the outset of the season, specifically offseason acquisition Ranger Suarez. Its new southpaw gave up four earned runs in four innings in what became an 8-6 loss to the Padres, dropping the Red Sox to a 2-7 record to start 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Paez is ranked as the No. 21 prospect and eighth righty in the Red Sox&#8217; farm league, according to MLB Pipeline. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The White Sox returned right-handed pitcher Jedixson Paez to the Red Sox after three starts at the big-league&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":666791,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2375],"tags":[5,141,48,2542,84882,4,89,2543],"class_list":{"0":"post-666790","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-red-sox","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-boston","10":"tag-boston-red-sox","11":"tag-bostonredsox","12":"tag-jedizson-paez","13":"tag-mlb","14":"tag-red-sox","15":"tag-redsox"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116359000541920904","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/666790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=666790"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/666790\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/666791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=666790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=666790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=666790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
