White was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a hip flexor issue, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Scott Servais confirmed that White is IL-bound, and Ty France (wrist) is said to be joining White. White seemed to be improving the quality of at-bats and slowly turning it around, but this will interrupt that natural progression. Jose Marmolejos is starting at first base Friday.

White is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Jarred Kelenic's arrival Thursday doesn't directly impact White, as Kelenic is strictly an outfielder, but it could still have an indirect effect throughout the roster. Jose Marmolejos, who's spent time both in the outfield and at first base, will start in White's place Friday.

White went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an RBI double in Saturday's loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The right-handed hitter hit a two-run home run in the second inning and knocked in Dylan Moore in the fourth inning. It was the second dinger for the struggling White and he is now slashing .151/.207/.256 in 2021.

White is 0-for-7 with four strikeouts in the two games since his return from a four-day stay on the bereavement list.
EDGE Analysis
In other words, getting away from baseball for a handful of days did nothing to make a dent into White's struggles. The 25-year-old had gone 0-for-16 in the four games prior to his brief sabbatical, and he's now up to a 29.8 percent strikeout rate across 84 plate appearances.

White has slashed .156/.229/.156 with five singles, three walks and a run over the nine games he's played since hitting his only home run of the season April 16.
EDGE Analysis
The dearth of extra-base hits is certainly a concern and a major drain on White's fantasy value, even as he's improved his contact rate considerably in the early going. The primary issue for the 25-year-old appears to be his consistent failure to square up with authority; he's sporting a middling 27.3 percent hard-hit rate and a weak average exit velocity of 79.2 mph while seeing his soft-contact percentage rise to 29.5 percent from last season's 14.1 percent figure.

White went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a victory over Houston on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
White's first long ball of the season was a big one, as it tied the game in the bottom of the eighth. Seattle then went on to win the contest in the ninth inning on a Ty France single. White has struggled with a .194/.265/.355 slash line this season, but he'll look to build upon his big hit Friday going forward.

White will sit for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
White was sidelined for three games last week while dealing with a quadriceps issue. He returned to start the first game of a doubleheader Tuesday before sitting for the nightcap. It's likely that he'll return to the lineup for the evening game this time around.
