Clears waivers Iriarte has cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte while receiving a non-roster invite to spring training, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Iriarte was designated for assignment Sunday, and after going unclaimed on waivers, he'll remain within the White Sox organization. The 24-year-old right-hander spent most of the 2025 season at Triple-A Charlotte, where he posted a 7.24 ERA, a 1.96 WHIP and a 48:37 K:BB across 46 innings spanning 35 appearances.

Designated for assignment The White Sox designated Iriarte for assignment Sunday.

Impact The right-hander received his first taste of the majors late in 2024 and gave up one earned run with a 6:8 K:BB over six innings. Iriarte failed to make Chicago's Opening Day roster last spring and stumbled to a 7.24 ERA and 7.2 BB/9 with Triple-A Charlotte, which has now cost him his place on the 40-man roster.

Sent down to Charlotte The White Sox optioned Iriarte to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

Impact Iriarte's history of control problems continued this spring, as he walked five and hit a batter while yielding three runs over his 4.1 innings of work. The White Sox plan to continue developing the 23-year-old as a starting pitcher for now, but a shift to the bullpen might eventually come.

Will work as starter this spring Iriarte will be used as a starting pitcher this spring, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact All six of Iriarte's appearances with the White Sox last season came in relief, and it's possible a lack of command will eventually force him to move to the bullpen on a full-time basis. However, the 23-year-old has primarily been a starter in the minors and the White Sox aren't ready to give up on him in that capacity. One of the primary pieces acquired from the Padres in last spring's Dylan Cease trade, Iriarte collected a 3.71 ERA and 122:57 K:BB over 126 innings last season with Double-A Birmingham.

Called up from Double-A The White Sox recalled Iriarte from Double-A Birmingham on Sunday.

Impact Iriarte started in 22 of his 23 appearances with Birmingham and posted a 3.71 ERA and 1.28 WHIP in 126 innings, but he's likely to begin his big-league career as a member of the bullpen. Expect the 22-year-old right-hander to be deployed mostly in lower-leverage situations initially.

Slated for call-up The White Sox are expected to recall Iriarte from Double-A Birmingham on Sunday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Impact Iriarte, a 22-year-old right-hander, will come up to fill one one of the two openings on the expanded September roster. He is expected to work mostly out of the bullpen after working primarily as a starter at Double-A. Iriarte has gone 5-7 with a 3.71 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 122:57 K:BB across 126 innings for Birmingham this season.
