The White Sox released Carela (elbow) on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Carela has made just seven career starts above the High-A level, but the White Sox recognized enough potential in the 23-year-old right-hander to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft this winter and add him to the 40-man roster. Unfortunately for Carela, he suffered an elbow injury in spring training and required Tommy John surgery, which will likely keep him out of action until around the middle of the 2026 season. Given his lengthy recovery timeline, the White Sox seemingly deemed Carela an expendable piece and released him to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for catcher Omar Narvaez, whose contract was selected from Double-A Birmingham in a corresponding move.

The White Sox announced Friday that Carela will undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old was added to the 40-man roster in November in order to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft, but he'll miss the entirety of 2025 due to the surgery. Carela is likely to be sidelined until midseason 2026.

The Yankees promoted Carela from Single-A Tampa to High-A Hudson Valley on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Carela endured a rough High-A debut Thursday versus Jersey Shore, recording just two outs while allowing five earned runs on two hits and four walks. Prior to the call-up, the 20-year-old right-hander had been one of the top arms in the lower levels of the Yankees' system. Over his 17 appearances (14 starts) for Tampa, Carela compiled a 2.86 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 115:38 K:BB in 85 frames.
