• Angels' Evan White: Kicks off rehab assignment

  05/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  White (hip) began a rehab assignment with the Angels' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate Saturday, drawing a walk in his lone plate appearance. White started at first base and played two innings before exiting the contest, though his early departure might have been a planned arrangement. The 27-year-old has appeared in just 31 games in affiliated ball since the beginning of the 2022 season while recovering from sports hernia surgery and left hip surgery, the latter of which he underwent last May.

  The Angels acquired White (hip) and Tyler Thomas from Atlanta on Friday in exchange for Max Stassi (hip/personal) and David Fletcher, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. This is basically a swap of bad contracts, with White's maybe being the worst of them all. He hasn't appeared in a major-league game since 2021 and holds a career .544 OPS in 306 plate appearances at baseball's highest level. On top of that, he is currently in recovery mode from May hip surgery. The 27-year-old former top prospect is due $15 million guaranteed between 2024-25 and carries a total of $4 million in buyouts on his club options for 2026, 2027 and 2028.

  Atlanta outrighted White (hip) to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday. White was just acquired from the Mariners on Sunday as part of the Jarred Kelenic trade, but the 27-year-old former top prospect has already lost his 40-man roster spot. White is a career .165/.235/.308 hitter in 306 major-league plate appearances and missed the majority of the 2023 season following May hip surgery.

• Braves' Evan White: Traded to Atlanta

  12/04/2023 • By RotoWire

  White (hip) was traded from Seattle to Atlanta on Sunday along with Jarred Kelenic and Marco Gonzales in exchange for Jackson Kowar and Cole Phillips. White is entering his age-28 campaign and is owed $8 million over the next two seasons, but Seattle didn't use him in the majors in 2022 or 2023. Last season was a lost campaign for White, who ended up having hip surgery in May. He hasn't been a league-average hitter since his stint at Triple-A in 2021, and this was primarily a salary dump move by Seattle. White has a career .165/.235/.308 MLB slash line in 306 plate appearances.
