White

White is scheduled to return in 12-16 weeks, which ostensibly rules out any possibility of him pitching again this season. The 21-year-old southpaw is universally-regarded as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball and appeared to be on the verge of reaching Miami after posting a 4.01 ERA and 35/15 K/BB ratio across 24 2/3 innings across seven starts for Triple-A Jacksonville this season. Shoulder issues are complicated matters, but all signs point to White being a full-go by spring training following a relatively normal offseason. It’s a significant hit to his dynasty stock and eliminates any chance that he reaches the big leagues this season.

White will not be called up to start against the Mets later this week. No word yet on the specific injury. The 21-year-old southpaw has posted a 4.01 ERA and 35/15 K/BB ratio across 24 2/3 innings across seven starts in the minors this season. It’s an unfortunate development for the Marlins and fantasy managers since Braxton Garrett’s demotion and Robby Snelling’s elbow injury likely would’ve carved out a path for him to pitch in Miami at some point soon.

There’s nothing official from the Marlins on their rotation plans for their upcoming three-game series against New York after White was scratched from his scheduled start for Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday. The 21-year-old top pitching prospect is hardly a finished product, especially from a command standpoint, but he has the stuff to pitch in the majors at some point in the near future. He’s worthy of a speculative stash in all fantasy leagues on the chance that he’s up relatively soon, but it sounds like he may have to wait a bit longer for his opportunity.

Here’s an oversimplification: White is arguably the top pitching prospect in baseball and should be rostered in all fantasy leagues based on his immense strikeout upside. The 21-year-old southpaw appears highly likely to make his major-league debut in the coming days with Braxton Garrett being sent back to the minors and Robby Snelling (elbow) facing an extended absence. He’s recorded a 4.34 ERA with a 25/9 K/BB ratio across 18 2/3 innings for Triple-A Jacksonville this season. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats based on the strong likelihood that he’s headed to Miami in the coming days.

He also struck out five and walked one while throwing 49 of his 87 pitches for strikes. The left-hander has recovered from an early-season oblique injury to post a 29/10 K/BB ratio with a 2.41 ERA in 18 2/3 Triple-A innings. With White, Braxton Garrett, and Robbie Snelling, the Marlins have three arms ready to go at Triple-A.

White had a Grade 1 oblique strain at the beginning of March and was moved to Minor League Camp. He then started the season with Low-A Jupiter, throwing six innings across two starts while striking out 10 and walking six. He remains one of the better starting pitching prospects in baseball and could be up with the Marlins over the summer.

White was recently diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain, but he wasn’t likely to make the club anyway. The left-hander does stand a good chance of joining the Marlins at some point in 2026, and his ability to miss bats makes him worth roster consideration whenever that takes place.

The highly touted 21-year-old southpaw suffered the injury during his Grapefruit League debut. He’s expected to be shelved for the next 3-4 weeks which will end his time in big league camp with the Marlins. White is expected to open the 2026 season at Triple-A Jacksonville, and it wouldn’t be shocking in the slightest to see him make his big league debut at some point during the season.

The trade is now official. Weathers has shown flashes of big-time potential, recording a strong 3.74 ERA — 4.26 FIP — 1.21 WHIP and 117/36 K/BB ratio across 125 innings for the Marlins over the last two seasons. The 26-year-old southpaw has been limited to just 24 starts during that span due to injuries, including forearm and lat issues that cost him nearly five months this past season. He’s an interesting gamble for the Yankees — and a speculative late-round dice roll in fantasy leagues — as a high-upside rotation arm with Gerrit Cole coming off Tommy John surgery and Carlos Rodón working his way back from an offseason elbow procedure. He projects as a high-velocity impact reliever if they decide to move him to the bullpen at some point in the future. Meanwhile, his departure from Miami removes another obstacle from the path of top pitching prospects Thomas White and Robby Snelling.

Craig Mish of the Miami Herald adds that outfielders Dillon Lewis and Brendan Jones and infielders Dylan Jasso and Juan Matheus are heading to the Marlins in the deal.
