Owen White - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Designated for assignment The Reds designated White for assignment Wednesday.

Impact The Reds needed to make room on the 40-man roster after acquiring Taylor Rogers from San Francisco on Wednesday, and White will end up as the odd man out. The 25-year-old righty spent most of last season with the Rangers' Triple-A affiliate, accumulating a 5.64 ERA and 1.57 WHIP across 99 innings. Regardless of whether he clears waivers or gets claimed by another organization, White will almost certainly head back to Triple-A to begin 2025.

Dealt to Cincinnati The Reds acquired White from the Rangers on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.

Impact White had been designated for assignment but will now join a new 40-man roster. The 25-year-old held a 5.64 ERA and 87:48 K:BB over 99 innings in 2024 at Triple-A Round Rock, his second straight disappointing season. However, White is still young and was formerly a top prospect, so he's not a bad roll of the dice for Cincinnati. White has options remaining and will likely begin the 2025 season at Triple-A Louisville.

Removed from 40-man roster The Rangers designated White for assignment Friday.

Impact The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the signing of Hoby Milner. White was arguably the Rangers' top pitching prospect two years ago, but his stuff and results have backed up since then. He spent most of the 2024 season at Triple-A Round Rock, holding a 5.64 ERA and 87:48 K:BB over 99 innings. White is still just 25, so there could be interest via trade or waivers.

Dispatched to Triple-A The Rangers optioned White to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Impact White made one appearance after coming up from the minors last week, during which he allowed two earned runs on three hits over two innings without recording a strikeout. He'll now be sent back to Triple-A in order to make room on the active roster for Jacob deGrom (elbow), who returned from the 60-day IL to start Friday's contest.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to Texas White was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Impact Four days after he was sent down, White will return to the big-league roster to replace Grant Anderson (ankle) in the Rangers' bullpen. White has split his time between the rotation and bullpen at Round Rock this season, posting a 5.55 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 82:45 K:BB in 95.2 total innings. He's allowed a total of six runs in two appearances in the majors this season.

Back to minors The Rangers optioned White to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

Impact White's stint in the majors lasted just one day and he didn't see any action. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Jack Leiter, who will start Monday's contest against the Yankees.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned to big leagues The Rangers recalled White from Triple-A Round Rock ahead of Sunday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Athletics.

Impact The right-hander is likely to fill a low-leverage role out of the Texas bullpen over the final four weeks of the season. White previously made a pair of relief appearances for the Rangers back in May, giving up six earned runs on six hits and one walk while retiring only three batters.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to minors The Rangers optioned White to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

Impact The right-hander surrendered three runs over on inning Monday against Cleveland and has now been demoted to make room for Tuesday's starter Jack Leiter. White has surrendered six earned runs in his two MLB appearances this season and has a 5.70 ERA over 23.2 frames at Triple-A.

MAY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled to big club White was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Impact The 24-year-old took the roster spot of Jack Leiter, who was sent down after making his MLB debut Thursday. White hasn't pitched well in three starts for Round Rock this season with a 7.30 ERA across 12.1 innings, but he will be available in relief for the time being. White got his feet wet in the big leagues last summer with a couple appearances out of the Texas bullpen.

Moved to Triple-A The Rangers optioned White to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact White was one of four pitchers sent to minor-league camp in the Rangers' latest round of roster cuts. The 24-year-old right-hander made two relief appearances for Texas last season but otherwise spent the 2023 campaign in the minors with Round Rock and Double-A Frisco. White is expected to be a full-time member of the Round Rock rotation in 2024.

Shohei Ohtani trade proposals: Ben Verlander picks favorite among 12 teams

Receives call-up The Rangers recalled White from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Impact Texas optioned right-hander Glenn Otto to Triple-A to clear room on the 26-man active roster for White, who is up with the Rangers for the second time this season. With the Rangers opting to skip Nathan Eovaldi's turn through the rotation Tuesday against the Astros, White or Cody Bradford could be candidates to serve as a spot starter or multi-inning option out of the bullpen that day. White's potential role for Tuesday should be sussed out based on his usage (or lack thereof) in Sunday's series finale with the Dodgers and Monday's series opener in Houston.
