Eli White - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Smacks first home run White went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

Impact White took Tyler Phillips deep in the sixth inning for his first big-league homer since June 12, 2022, when he played for the Rangers. White picked up his first two hits of the season in just his third start. His recent tick in playing time may not last long, as Ramon Laureano (oblique) is expected to return soon.

Getting third straight start White will start in left field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Impact White will pick up his third straight start in left field, but his run of regular playing time could come to an end as soon as corner outfielder Ramon Laureano (oblique) is cleared to return from the injury that has kept him out of the lineup since June 26. After getting called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, White has gone 0-for-7 with three strikeouts between Atlanta's first two games of the weekend.

Contract selected Atlanta selected White's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

Impact White, 30, has slashed .294/.402/.462 with seven home runs and 18 stolen bases over 53 contests with Gwinnett this season. He can play all three outfield positions and could see some starts as Atlanta seeks solutions for its banged-up outfield.

Sent to minors camp Atlanta reassigned White to minor-league camp Monday.

Impact He was sent to minor-league camp Monday along with Luke Williams, Andrew Velazquez and David Fletcher, with their demotions suggesting that Forrest Wall has won the final available bench spot on Atlanta's Opening Day roster. White slashed .344/.488/.438 with four stolen bases over 17 Grapefruit League games.

Stays with Atlanta Atlanta re-signed White (shoulder) to a minor-league contract Tuesday.

Impact White lost his spot on Atlanta's 40-man roster and was released last weekend, after he suffered a season-ending left shoulder injury earlier this month. By re-signing with Atlanta, White will have access to the organization's facilities and doctors while he completes his rehab for the shoulder injury. He'll likely revert to Triple-A Gwinnett's full-season injured list.

Cut loose by Atlanta White (arm) was released by Atlanta on Saturday.

Impact White made a minimal impact in six big-league games back in April and spent most of the year with Triple-A Gwinnett, hitting .254/.363/.450 with nine homers and 14 steals in 43 games. He was recently shut down for the season with an arm injury and will now have to go through rehab as a free agent. It's unlikely a team will pick him up until the offseason given his injury situation.

Braves release outfielder Eli White as 40-man move for Allan Winans White entered spring training with a lot of promise. He’s an athletic outfielder with tools. He has potential.

JULY 22, 2023 • AJC.COM

Shut down for season Triple-A Gwinnett placed White on its full-season injured list Friday due to an unspecified issue.

Impact Though Atlanta hasn't provided an explanation for why White has been shut down for the season, Garrett Spain of BatteryPower.com notes that the 29-year-old exited Gwinnett's July 6 game after landing awkwardly on his left arm while attempting to make a diving catch in the outfield. White retains a spot on Atlanta's 40-man roster, but he could be recalled from Gwinnett and transferred to the big club's 60-day injured list when room is needed on the roster for another player.

JULY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activated and optioned White was activated from the paternity leave list and optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Friday.

Impact White was initially promoted to replace Michael Harris when he went on the injured list, but now that Harris is back the outfielder will head back to Gwinnett. He'll get another opportunity eventually.

Goes on paternity leave White was placed on the paternity leave list by Atlanta on Tuesday.

Impact White can miss up to three games. Nick Solak is up as a replacement.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A White was recalled Thursday from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Impact He'll replace Michael Harris, who is headed to the 10-day injured list with a lower back strain. White can help cover all three outfield spots for Atlanta, but he holds a weak .185/.260/.296 career batting line in 389 plate appearances at the major-league level.

APRIL 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down to Triple-A Atlanta optioned White to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Impact White's demotion is a case of minor-league options working against a player, as he did everything he could this spring to win a job by turning in a 1.393 OPS with three home runs. The speedy utility player could wind up spending a good amount of time in the majors in 2023, even though he'll open the season in the minors.

MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Making case for bench job White went 3-for-3 with two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles.

Impact Getting the start in right field and batting eighth, White took Spenser Watkins deep in the third and fourth innings. The former Rangers outfielder got traded to Atlanta in the offseason to provide some roster depth, but the 28-year-old has designs of being more than that, going 10-for-23 this spring with six extra-base hits (two doubles, a triple and three homers) and a 3:3 BB:K. He still has plenty of competition for a bench spot on the 26-man roster, particularly from Jordan Luplow, but if White breaks camp on the Opening Day roster, he could see consistent action as a right-handed platoon partner for Eddie Rosario in left field as well as a late-game defensive replacement and pinch running option.

Dealt to Atlanta White (wrist/knee) was traded by the Rangers to Atlanta on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.

Impact After being designated for assignment by the Rangers on Friday, White will now have to try and carve a role for himself in Atlanta. The 28-year-old outfielder's season was cut short in mid-June due to wrist and knee injuries, though he wasn't very productive while healthy -- he slashed just .200/.274/.305 through 117 plate appearances. Given the underwhelming season Eddie Rosario had in 2022, it's possible he and White compete for time in left field.

DFA'd by Texas White (wrist/knee) was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Friday.

Impact White underwent wrist surgery in June and missed the rest of season after he experienced knee discomfort during his minor-league rehab assignment. The 28-year-old has played in 111 MLB games over the past two seasons and has a .185/.264/.307 slash line with 16 stolen bases and a 31.8 percent strikeout rate.
