Whitefield was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Angels on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Whitefield went 0-for-11 in what was essentially an emergency call-up for the Angels in May. The outfielder will likely begin the season in Triple-A, but he will need to be added to the 40-man roster in order to play in the majors this year.

Whitefield cleared waivers and was outrighted to Double-A Rocket City on Wednesday, dddd reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitefield was designated for assignment over the weekend and will now return to Double-A after going 0-for-11 in five big-league games. He has a .301/.400/.538 slash line with five home runs, 17 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 24 games for Rocket City this season.

Whitefield was designated for assignment Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

This came a week after his contract was originally selected from Double-A, so his time on the 40-man roster was short-lived. He hit .301/.400/.538 with five home runs and 13 steals in 24 games at Double-A prior to the promotion.

Whitefield had his contract selected by the Angels on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Whitefield joined the Angels during the offseason and will join the big-league club after posting a .938 OPS in 24 games with Double-A Rocket City. He made his major-league debut in 2020 with the Twins but appeared in only three games. The 25-year-old should serve as a reserve option at first base and in the corner outfield spots.

The Twins outrighted Whitefield off the 40-man roster Monday and assigned him to their alternate training site, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A surprise addition to the Twins' season-opening 30-man active roster, Whitefield appeared in three games before he was optioned last week. The Twins quietly designated him for assignment days later, and the 23-year-old will now stick in the organization after he went unclaimed off waivers. He'll maintain a spot in the Twins' 60-man player pool, but he'll need to be added back to the 40-man roster in order to play in games with the big club.

Whitefield was optioned to the Twins' alternate training site after Wednesday's win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Whitefield made the Opening Day roster but appeared in only three games and had one at-bat this season, so it's not much of a surprise he's heading to the alternate site with rosters dropping from 30 to 28 players Thursday.

Whitefield has made Minnesota's Opening Day 30-man roster.

EDGE Analysis

Whitefield is a surprise addition, but he'll likely just add outfield depth with Byron Buxton on the 30-man roster but working his way back from a foot injury. Whitefield will likely be sent back to the team's alternative training camp next week when Buxton shows he's able to play at full strength. Whitefield was added to the 40-man roster as a result.

Whitefield was added to the Twins' 60-man player pool Friday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitefield will give the Twins added depth this season, though it's very unlikely that he makes his big-league debut this year. The 23-year-old hit a poor .220/.279/.328 in 81 games for High-A Fort Myers last season and a considerably worse .137/.174/.176 in 31 games for Double-A Pensacola, though he did at least steal a combined 30 bases.

Whitefield is batting .292 with 14 stolen bases in 17 attempts this season wit Low-A Cedar Rapids.

EDGE Analysis

The biggest surprise this season with Whitefield has been his increase in power, who already has six home runs after only hitting two last season in Rookie League. The biggest concern for the Australian outfielder has been the high strikeout rates. He's striking out in 26.1% of his at-bats and only drawing walks at 6.1%.
