2025 Fantasy Outlook
A sleeper in the Brewers' system who was poached by the White Sox with the first pick in the 2024 Rule 5 draft, Smith has a chance to be a viable rotation option for the White Sox as early as this season. He'll need to be kept on the big-league roster (or injured list) all season, otherwise the White Sox would have to return him to the Brewers. Smith, who has a 93-mph fastball and throws a pair of breaking balls, logged 94.1 innings across Double-A and Triple-A, with all his work as a starter (16 starts) coming at Double-A. He logged a 2.96 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 74 strikeouts in 67 innings as a starter, and also struck out 39 in 27.1 innings as a reliever. Smith may be eased into his big-league career as a low-leverage multi-inning reliever, but he could also get some starts in the first half. Read Past Outlooks
Fans five in loss
Smith (1-2) took the loss Monday against the Royals, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out five.
ANALYSIS
The Chicago right-hander looked solid again in this 91-pitch outing, as he has not conceded more than three runs in any of his six starts. The Kansas City lineup failed to square up Smith, who allowed just one extra-base hit -- a Bobby Witt RBI double in the fifth. Smith continues his sharp rookie campaign, pitching to a 2.41 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 31:15 K:BB across 37.1 innings. The 25-year-old is currently in line to make his next start against the Marlins at home this weekend.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Top pick in Rule 5 Draft?
According to Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com, the White Sox are expected to select Smith with the first pick in the Rule 5 Draft on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The Brewers elected not to add the 24-year-old to the 40-man roster in November, and it appears they'll be losing him to the White Sox. Smith worked as both a starter and reliever between the Double-A and Triple-A levels in 2024 and had a 3.05 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 113:29 K:BB across 94.1 innings between the two levels.
