Atlanta and White avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Friday.
EDGE Analysis
White will get a little raise in his first year of arbitration eligibility. The speedy outfielder slashed .234/.270/.406 with 10 home runs and 10 stolen bases over 105 games with the big club in 2025. The right-handed-hitting White had a .736 OPS versus left-handed pitching this past season and could see some starts versus southpaws in 2026.

White went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
White launched his eighth homer of the year and his first since Aug. 5 versus Milwaukee. Barring an injury to any of Atlanta's key players, the 31-year-old utility man should continue to play a part-time role to close out the campaign. For the season, White is batting a poor .233 with eight doubles, three triples, 31 RBI, 39 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 240 at-bats (95 games).

White is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
He's now been on the bench in favor of Vidal Brujan -- who will get another start in right field Thursday -- in three of the past five contests. White is 0-for-14 with nine strikeouts over his last five games, and with Ronald Acuna's (calf) return imminent, White's playing time is about to slip even more.

White isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
White went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly en route to a 7-1 victory over Miami in the afternoon game, and he'll get a chance to rest his legs during the nightcap. His absence will put Vidal Brujan in right field and seventh in the batting order.

White went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
He was the only Atlanta hitter to figure out Milwaukee pitching on the night, taking Freddy Peralta deep for a solo shot in the fourth inning and drawing a bases-loaded walk in the seventh. White has gone yard three times in the last three games, and in seven contests since Ronald Acuna (calf) went down, the 31-year-old bench player is batting .296 (8-for-27) with nine RBI.

White went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI during a 4-2 win over the Reds in Sunday's MLB Speedway Classic.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old was the star of the contest, powering Atlanta's offense with a three-run homer in the second inning and a solo shot in the seventh, with the second blast bouncing off the track at Bristol Motor Speedway. White has started four straight games in right field while filling in for Ronald Acuna (calf), and since replacing the All-Star during Tuesday's contest, he's gone 6-for-19 (.316) with four runs and seven RBI in addition to Sunday's long balls.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said after Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the Royals that White will take over as the team's primary right fielder after Ronald Acuna exited the contest with right Achilles inflammation, Avery Osen of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Acuna appears to have avoided a rupture of his Achilles tendon, he's still likely to miss more than the minimum 10 days after Atlanta officially placed him on the injured list Wednesday. Atlanta recalled Jarred Kelenic from Triple-A Gwinnett to provide another option in the outfield while Acuna is out, but given Kelenic's tepid production in the big leagues and minors this season, White should be first in line to fill in for the star right fielder. White has proven serviceable when given meaningful playing time with Atlanta this season; he'll head into Wednesday's series finale in Kansas City having maintained a .255/.297/.391 slash line to go with four home runs and seven stolen bases over 196 plate appearances.

White went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-1 loss to the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
White got Atlanta on the board in the fifth inning. This was White's first homer since June 9 versus the Brewers, and his first hit of any kind since June 27 versus the Phillies. He sees most of his time against left-handed pitchers, but he's been unable to carve out even a firm short-side platoon role in Atlanta's outfield -- he was only in the lineup Tuesday because Ronald Acuna (back) was scratched just before the game. White is batting .242 with a .664 OPS, four homers, 17 RBI, 27 runs scored and five stolen bases over 189 plate appearances this season.

White is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
After a brief run as Atlanta's primary left fielder, White appears to have slipped back into a short-side platoon role. He'll be on the bench for a fifth straight matchup versus a right-handed pitcher, with Alex Verdugo having started in left field in each of those contests. Both Verdugo and White are expected to see their opportunities in the outfield dwindle once Jurickson Profar (suspension) is cleared to return July 2.

White isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
White will concede a second consecutive start in left field to Alex Verdugo after the latter went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's victory. The two players are likely to see a sizable drop in playing time relatively soon with Jurickson Profar less than two weeks away from completing his 80-game suspension.
