Rest-of-Season Projections
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
Signed a one-year contract with the White Sox in March of 2025.
Trounced in short outing
Smith (3-5) suffered the loss in Monday's game against Arizona, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks over two innings. He struck out two.
Analysis
The Chicago right-hander labored through this 64-pitch appearance and surrendered five earned runs for the second consecutive start. Smith allowed the first two runs on a double by Josh Naylor in the first inning and then conceded a three-run homer to Pavin Smith in the second. Before this string of five-run outings, Smith sported an impressive 2.37 ERA, which has now bloated to 3.38 through 74.2 total innings. The 25-year-old currently lines up to make his next start against the Giants 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.
