White, who missed most of the 2024 season with elbow issues, has been looking good early in camp, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
White logged only 7.1 innings last season across several minor-league levels before getting shut down. The righty then underwent hydrodissection in August for nerve issues. After a lengthy recovery, White is aiming to once again push for a bullpen role with the Tigers. He logged 40.2 innings for Detroit back in 2023 and posted a 5.09 ERA. While getting back to the majors would be a personal victory for White, he's unlikely to be anything more than a low-leverage option.

The Tigers re-signed White to a minor-league contract on Dec. 13.
EDGE Analysis
White was non-tendered by Detroit last month but is back in the organization on a minors pact. The 26-year-old missed much of the 2024 season with elbow problems and underwent hydrodissection in August for nerve issues. White will be healthy for spring training and will likely begin the 2025 season in the Triple-A Toledo bullpen.

The Tigers designated White for assignment Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
White dealt spent most of the 2024 season away from the field due to injury. He had a procedure done to his elbow in late August and started throwing sessions at the end of September. In order to create room for a few pitchers being selected to the 40-man roster Tuesday, the 26-year-old got the boot.

White (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
It would appear to be the first time White has thrown from the mound since he underwent a hydrodissection procedure last month to address radial nerve-related symptoms. The right-hander is done for the season, but if the procedure has the desired effect he should have a normal offseason and be ready to go for spring training.

The Tigers announced that White (elbow) underwent a hydro-dissection procedure Tuesday to address radial nerve-related symptoms, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
White had been contending with elbow problems dating back to spring training and hasn't pitched in a game since June 18, when he made a rehab appearance in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. Though the Tigers recalled him from the minors Aug. 13 and placed him on the 60-day injured list with what the club labeled as a right elbow strain, White didn't require surgery and instead had a non-invasive procedure to address the matter. White is presumably shut down for the season, but he could be fully cleared for the start of spring training.

The Tigers recalled White from Double-A Erie on Tuesday and placed him on the 60-day injured list with a right elbow strain.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction clears a spot on Detroit's 40-man roster for Kerry Carpenter, who came off the 60-day injured list Tuesday. White has been limited to just 7.1 innings this season because of elbow issues and hasn't pitched in nearly two months. He is being tested for a potential radial nerve injury, per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com.

White experienced elbow discomfort during a bullpen session in July and hasn't been cleared to resume a rehab assignment, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
White has been dealing with elbow issues dating back to spring training, but after being optioned to Toledo on March 8, he made enough progress in his recovery to avoid a stint on the club's 7-day injured list to begin the season. However, White was eventually moved to the development list in mid-April after issuing six walks in 1.2 innings over his first three appearances, and he hasn't made an appearance at the Triple-A level since. White retains a spot on the Tigers' 40-man roster and currently resides on Double-A Erie's 7-day injured list.

White is listed on the minor-league medical report for Double-A Erie with right elbow inflammation and began a throwing program this week for Erie, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
White was sent to Triple-A in March by the Tigers with soreness from the same elbow, and it appears he began a throwing program this past week to work his way back from this injury. The righty pitcher has appeared at the Single-A, Double-A and Triple-A level this year, but he's currently doing his program at the Double-A level with the Erie Seawolves.
