DeJong was removed prior to the bottom of the sixth and was clearly in pain. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

The Chicago White Sox have signed shortstop Paul DeJong to a one-year, major league contract.

Fantasy Impact

The White Sox declined their club option on Tim Anderson earlier in the offseason and have signed veteran Paul DeJong. He bounced back from a few tough seasons early in the 2023 campaign but struggled following moves to the Blue Jays and Giants later in the year, finishing with a .207 average with 14 home runs, four steals, and a .613 OPS across 112 games. He will serve as a stop-gap for top prospect Colson Montgomery while providing solid defense at the shortstop position.

Paul DeJong is in the starting lineup for the San Francisco Giants against the Chicago Cubs Monday.

Fantasy Impact

DeJong will spell Brandon Crawford with lefty Justin Steele on the mound for the Cubs, batting eighth and starting at shortstop for manager Gabe Kapler Monday.

Paul DeJong has signed a major-league contract with the Giants. He will report to the team on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

DeJong was let go by the Blue Jays after hitting .068 through 44 plate appearances. He'll look to bounce back with the Giants as they push for a playoff spot.

Paul DeJong has been traded to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

DeJong becomes one of likely many Cardinals to be dealt at the deadline. Given the recent injury to Bo Bichette, DeJong could have a larger role initially than originally expected. He is hitting .233/.297/.412 in 2023.
