Sitting Saturday White isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado.

Impact White will grab a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's contest after going 4-for-23 to begin June. Alex Verdugo will get the nod to start in left field instead and bat second.

Reclaiming left field job White will start in left field and bat eighth in Wednesday's contest in Milwaukee.

Impact The right-handed-hitting White has now started three of the last four games in left field over Alex Verdugo, even as Atlanta has faced a righty each time. In the one game White didn't start during that stretch, he received three plate appearances off the bench and homered. At least for the time being, White seems to have supplanted Verdugo as Atlanta's preferred option in left.

Moves into short-side platoon role White will work on the short side of a platoon in left field with Alex Verdugo now that Ronald Acuna in back in the lineup, David O'Brien of the Athletic reports.

Impact White's actually had slightly better numbers against right-handed pitching so far this season, posting an .814 OPS in 87 plate appearances in that split versus Verdugo's .760 OPS in 100 PAs, but manager Brian Snitker will go with a conventional platoon for now between the two. How the duo performs will likely determine how long the arrangement lasts, and White wasn't doing himself any favors by batting .225 (9-for-40) with a 1:10 BB:K in his last 10 games before Acuna's activation from the IL on Friday.

Moves back into reserve role White is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Impact After holding down an everyday spot in the lineup for the past month, White looks set to receive little more than the occasional start moving forward after star right fielder Ronald Acuna completed his recovery from ACL surgery and returned to the lineup Friday. Acuna will start his third straight game Sunday to close out the weekend, and White has now been on the bench for each of those contests. The 30-year-old was able to provide a modicum of fantasy value during his stretch of 26 consecutive starts from April 23 through Thursday, slashing .280/.314/.460 with two home runs, four stolen bases, 13 RBI and 17 runs.

Swipes another bag White went 1-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Nationals.

Impact Getting the start in right field and batting eighth, White crossed the plate with the game's first run after reaching on an error and swiping second in the third inning. The 30-year-old has slowed down at the plate in May, slashing .240/.296/.340 through 14 games with two steals, four RBI, six runs and a 3:14 BB:K, and White's stint as an everyday player for Atlanta could end before the month is over with Ronald Acuna (knee) closing in on his season debut.

Keeps producing Thursday White went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-innings win over the Reds.

Impact The 30-year-old extended his current hit streak to six games with a bunt single in the fifth inning. Since moving into a regular starting role in late April, White is slashing an improbable .327/.352/.615 with nine extra-base hits (five doubles, two triples and two homers), two steals, nine RBI and 11 runs in 14 contests -- stunning production from a player who came into 2025 with a career .568 OPS and 31.7 percent strikeout rate in 448 big-league plate appearances since he made his debut with the Rangers in 2020.

Hit streak at seven White went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Rockies.

Impact The 30-year-old had one of only three Atlanta hits on the afternoon. White has started seven straight games and collected at least one hit in all of them, going 10-for-28 (.357) with seven extra-base hits (four doubles, a triple, two homers), seven RBI and nine runs. The addition of Eddie Rosario to the big-league roster could cut into White's playing time in the short term, but he's forced his way into a significant role in the Atlanta outfield -- at least until Ronald Acuna (knee) is ready to make his 2025 debut.

Goes deep in win White went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-7 extra-inning win over Arizona.

Impact White was in the lineup versus a right-handed pitcher for the third game in a row. His seventh-inning homer came off right-handed reliever Ryan Thompson as well. White is 4-for-13 with two homers and seven RBI across his last three games. He's at least temporarily pushed Jarred Kelenic into a reserve role, and White's hot hitting will also put a little pressure on Alex Verdugo. Over 18 contests this season, White is batting .267 with two homers, seven RBI, nine runs scored and a stolen base across 33 plate appearances. He's never held a starting role for a full season, so fantasy managers can afford to wait and see how playing time in Atlanta's outfield gets divvied up in the coming weeks.
