The Guardians designated Pallette for assignment Sunday.
A Rule 5 Draft pick this past winter, Pallete must go unclaimed off waivers and be offered to the White Sox before the Guardians can outright the right-hander to the minors. Over 20.2 innings out of the Cleveland bullpen this season, Pallette posted a 5.23 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 22:16 K:BB. The Guardians recalled left-hander Logan Allen from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move.

Guardians' Peyton Pallette: Back in action in Cactus League
Rotowire
Pallette (shoulder) made his Cactus League debut Tuesday and has struck out five while allowing three hits and one walk over two scoreless innings between two appearances.
Pallette's spring debut was delayed while he contended with right forearm fatigue earlier in camp, but his bid for the Guardians' Opening Day roster won't be derailed. The Guardians selected Pallette in the Rule 5 Draft over the winter, so he'll need to remain on the 26-man active roster or a reserve list throughout the season, or else Cleveland will have to offer him back to the White Sox.
Pallette has yet to make his Cactus League debut due to right shoulder fatigue, SI.com reports.
Pallette is scheduled to throw live batting practice in the near future, and the Guardians are hopeful that he'll begin pitching in spring games sometime next week. The 24-year-old righty joined the Guardians in December through the Rule 5 Draft and will have to remain on the major-league roster all season. Otherwise, he'll be offered back to the White Sox.

Guardians' Peyton Pallette: Pilfered by Cleveland
Rotowire
The Guardians selected Pallette with the ninth pick of the Rule 5 Draft on Wednesday.
Pallette was a second-round pick in 2022 by the White Sox and was recovering from Tommy John surgery at the time he was drafted. He moved to the bullpen in 2024 and spent most of 2025 at Triple-A, where he logged a 4.36 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 54:20 K:BB and three saves in 43.1 innings. Pallette has a mid-90s fastball with good spin and several solid secondary offerings, headlined by his curveball.

White Sox's Peyton Pallette: Healthy at Single-A
Rotowire
Pallette (elbow) made his professional debut Friday for Single-A Kannapolis, covering two innings and allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk while striking out three.
The White Sox selected Pallette with the 62nd overall pick in last summer's First-Year Player Draft, but he didn't get the chance to make his debut in 2022 while he recovered from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in January of that year. The hard-throwing right-hander out of Arkansas apparently reported to spring training without any limitations, and after coming out of camp setback-free, he was able to secure a spot in Kannapolis' season-opening rotation. Expect the White Sox to still have an innings cap in place for the 21-year-old in 2023 as he returns from a major arm surgery.
