Paulino had his contract bought out by Houston on Monday, and he's expected to report to Triple-A Round Rock, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Paulino signed a contract last week with the Seibu Lions of the Nippon Professional Baseball League, Octagon Baseball reports.

Paulino signed a minor league contract with the Indians on Friday that includes an invite to spring training.

White Sox transferred RHP Felipe Paulino from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears space on the 40-man roster for the addition of Taylor Thompson. Paulino remains out indefinitely with shoulder issues.

Felipe Paulino (shoulder) has been pulled off his rehab assignment after experiencing a setback. Paulino was placed on the disabled list April 19 with rotator cuff inflammation and is now experiencing renewed discomfort around his right shoulder. There is no longer a timetable for his return to Chicago's active roster.

Felipe Paulino (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday. Paulino has been out since mid-April with rotator cuff inflammation. He could be ready to rejoin the White Sox relatively soon, but it's not certain that it will be in a starting role.

Felipe Paulino (shoulder) said Monday that he could begin a minor league rehab assignment this weekend. Paulino struggled to the tune of a 11.29 ERA over four starts prior to landing on the disabled list earlier this month with right rotator cuff inflammation. He could return as a reliever.

White Sox placed RHP Felipe Paulino on the 15-day disabled list with rotator cuff inflammation. Paulino was rocked for 10 runs on 13 hits in just 3 2/3 innings Friday night against the Rangers. He'll probably be moved to the bullpen when his health returns.

Felipe Paulino was obliterated in Friday's loss to the Rangers, getting pounded for 10 runs on 13 hits in just 3 2/3 innings of work. With an already depleted bullpen, manager Robin Ventura tried to leave Paulino in there to take his medicine and eat some innings, but he simply couldn't get hitters out. With an 11.29 ERA and 2.56 WHIP through his first 18 1/3, it'd be shocking if he wasn't demoted to the bullpen after this debacle.

White Sox manager Robin Ventura said Saturday that Felipe Paulino is still in the team's rotation "as of right now." "As of right now we'll continue to go," Ventura said. "We have guys in the bullpen . you can't have guys coming in the fifth inning. It's just not a recipe that's going to make guys last, so it has to be better." The White Sox have some options at Triple-A Charlotte in Tommy Hanson, Dylan Axelrod, Eric Surkamp, Andre Rienzo and Charlie Leesman if they ultimately wind up demoting Paulino.
