The White Sox released Chapelli on Friday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Chapelli spent all of 2024 at High-A Winston-Salem, where he slashed .228/.314/.311 with 20 RBI and 17 stolen bases over 80 games. The 23-year-old infielder will look for an opportunity elsewhere, though his poor offensive stats at such a low minor-league level don't bode well for his chances of reaching the majors.

White Sox's Loidel Chapelli: Good stateside showing
Rotowire
Chapelli is hitting .278 with a .412 OBP, three home runs and four steals in 22 games with High-A Winston-Salem.
A stocky 5-foot-8 second baseman from Cuba with deceptive athleticism, Chapelli put up excellent stats as a 20-year-old in the Domincan Summer League last year, but he was several years older than the typical prospect in that league. This strong showing to start 2023 at an appropriate level for his age carries much more weight. The White Sox have a weak farm system, but they aren't short on second basemen, as Jose Rodriguez and Lenyn Sosa are also keystone prospects ahead of Chapelli on the organizational depth chart.
