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

White will start in left field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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

Atlanta reassigned White to minor-league camp Monday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

White (shoulder) will serve as Atlanta's designated hitter and No. 5 batter in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
White's 2023 season came to an end in July after he suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder, but the 29-year-old looks to be at full health for spring training. After re-signing with Atlanta on a minor-league deal this offseason, White is attending camp as a non-roster invitee and has already appeared in two Grapefruit League games, going 1-for-3 with a double, two walks and a stolen base. He'll be vying for a reserve outfielder role on Atlanta's Opening Day roster.

Atlanta re-signed White (shoulder) to a minor-league contract Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

White (shoulder) was released by Atlanta on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
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, which Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports is a torn labrum in his left shoulder. He'll 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.

Triple-A Gwinnett placed White on its full-season injured list Friday due to an unspecified issue.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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