Red Sox Call Up Paez for Debut | MLB News

The Red Sox are making a bold move by calling up 22-year-old pitching prospect Jedixson Paez for his major league debut tonight, after he impressed in Triple-A with elite strikeout numbers and strong control. To make room, they’ve designated infielder Brett Harris and placed Eduardo Rivera on the 60-day IL, while activating Isiah Kiner-Falefa from the injured list. Paez, a Rule Five pick from Venezuela who previously debuted with the White Sox before being returned to Boston, has been dominant lately — throwing five innings in back-to-back starts, including a gem where he struck out eight and allowed just one run. Scouts rave about his command and changeup, even if his fastball sits around 93 mph. With his potential and recent form, Paez could be a key piece for the Red Sox this season.
