Eli

White

White ran into the wall making a catch in the sixth inning of last night’s game. He will now head to the concussion IL for at least a week. If Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring) is not healthy by the time White is able to return, White will get some more run in the majors.

White robbed Max Muncy in the sixth and then exited the game at the start of the eighth inning. If White goes on the concussion IL, then the Braves could bring up Nacho Alvarez until they’re ready to active Ha-Seong KIm.

Weiss wouldn’t dismiss the possibility of a trip to the injured list though if the 25-year-old outfielder doesn’t show any improvement. It sounds like Eli White may continue to patrol center field at least through the weekend.

Acuña was replaced in right field by Eli White during the sixth inning of Monday’s showdown after being hit by a pitch on two separate occasions earlier in the contest. He was drilled by Nationals starter Jake Irwin in the fourth inning before being thrown out attempting to steal second base. He was nailed again his next time up in the sixth inning, this time on the left hand, but managed to remain in the contest initially. His early departure appears to be precautionary in nature. There should be an update on his status soon.

White, who has been battling plantar fasciitis recently, draws his first start since April 7 with Michael Harris II on the bench against Phillies ace Cristopher Sánchez.

White hasn’t played since last Tuesday due to an ongoing foot issue, but the he’ll avoid a trip to the injured list. The 31-year-old reserve outfielder has gotten into just seven games this season.

White hasn’t played since last Tuesday due to an ongoing foot issue. It’s possible he’ll require a trip to the injured list if he’s unable to go in the next couple days, but we’ve seen Atlanta play with a shorthanded bench for years at this point.

White would’ve started a pair of games over the weekend while Michael Harris II was away on paternity leave, but he wound up sitting out due to the ongoing foot issue. He’ll continue operating in a bench role but it’s notable that he hasn’t been shipped to the injured list with Atlanta kicking off a new series.

White would likely be in the lineup with Michael Harris II not available on the paternity list, but the injury will keep him on the sidelines. Consider White day-to-day, and don’t consider White for a fantasy roster anyway.

Harris will be away from the club to be with his family on paternity leave for the next couple days. It’ll likely be Eli White and Mauricio Dubón handling center field in his absence.
