2025 Fantasy Outlook
Berroa was acquired by the White Sox last offseason and had a few cups of coffee with his new club before he was recalled again in late August. The hard-throwing righty finished the season with Chicago, earning one win and three holds across 17 appearances while demonstrating high strikeout upside. In his limited big league sample, Berroa has struck out 32 percent of the batters he's faced, but command issues have yielded a poor 17.6 walk rate that he'll need to improve to earn more high-leverage opportunities. The 24-year-old features an effective slider (57 percent usage) that produced a 43.4 percent whiff rate and limited opposing hitters to a .173 average, but he wasn't as effective with his upper-90's fastball. Berroa is a candidate for an important high-leverage role with the White Sox in 2025, but will need to find the strike zone more often to increase his chances. Read Past Outlooks
Recalled Tuesday
The White Sox recalled Berroa from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander was sent to Charlotte in early August but will rejoin the big-league bullpen after John Brebbia was designated for assignment. Berroa has made just three appearances in the majors this season and has largely struggled at Triple-A with a 6.60 ERA and 49:35 K:BB over 46.1 innings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Berroa opened 2023 in the starting rotation for Seattle's Double-A affiliate, but he was quickly transitioned to a relief role after allowing 13 runs and 19 walks through five starts (22.2 innings). Blessed with a premium slider and upper-90's fastball combination, the 23-year-old ultimately finished the 2023 season with a 101:39 K:BB ratio over 65.1 innings at the Double-A level. He also made two appearances in the majors, walking three over two-thirds of an inning during his scoreless big-league debut. Seattle shipped Berroa to the White Sox in February, and he should have every opportunity to not only win a spot in Chicago's Opening Day bullpen, but also factor into the mix for saves, as the team lacks a clear closer. Berroa could profile as a long-term solution at the back end of the White Sox bullpen, though Improving his control would go a long way towards gaining traction in the closer's role in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Option for ninth inning?
Berroa could be an option at closer for the White Sox at some point in 2024 after being acquired from the Mariners on Saturday, speculates Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old made the move to relief at Double-A Arkansas last season and pitched to a 2.76 ERA over 65.1 innings, and he jumped straight to the big leagues for his first two MLB appearances. The White Sox are without a clear closer after sending Gregory Santos to Seattle, but Berroa represents a potential replacement in the return package. Berroa's lack of major-league experience will likely have him in a lower-leverage role to begin the season -- assuming he makes the Opening Day roster -- but a strong showing early on could result in ninth-inning opportunities.
