Thomas White Dealing With a "Shoulder Thing"
Miami Marlins president of baseball operations Peter Bendix said on MLB Network Radio on Sunday that left-handed pitching prospect Thomas White (shoulder), who is currently on the seven-day injured list at Triple-A Jacksonville, is dealing with a "bit of a shoulder thing," and that it's not something "particularly concerning." The 21-year-old southpaw, who is considered the club's top prospect per MLB Pipeline, figured to be a candidate to make his major-league debut after fellow lefty prospect Robby Snelling needed elbow surgery and the team demoted lefty Braxton Garrett after a rough two starts in the big-league rotation. However, White is dealing with an injury of his own, although it doesn't figure to keep him out for too long. Before going on the IL at Jacksonville, White had a 4.34 ERA and 1.45 WHIP with 25 strikeouts and nine walks in 18 2/3 innings across five starts. The 6-foot-5, 240-pounder could be the top option for a major-league call-up in Miami once he returns to health in the minors, and he's certainly a stash candidate in deeper leagues.
