CHICAGO – Infielder Graham Pauley was claimed off waivers by the White Sox from Miami on Monday, while left-handed pitcher Ky Bush and outfielder Junior Pérez were outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte by the team.
These moves decreased the White Sox 40-man roster to 39.
Pauley, 26, slashed .211/.257/.373 with nine doubles, one triple, four home runs, 25 RBIs and 15 runs scored over 62 games with the Marlins in 2026 during a season when he was called up five times. He slashed .236/.332/.436 with a .768 OPS and 10 doubles, one triple, seven home runs, 23 RBIs, 24 walks and 22 runs scored over 46 games with Triple-A Jacksonville. The left-handed hitter has primarily played a steady third base in his career, although he also has made appearances at first base, second base and in center field.
The native of Milton, Ga., is a .209/.272/.364 hitter with 18 doubles, two triples, 10 home runs, 41 RBIs, 29 walks and 37 runs scored in 137 career games over three Major League seasons with San Diego (2024) and Miami (2025-26). He was originally selected by the Padres in the 13th round of the 2022 MLB Draft.
