Mariners' Evan White: Remains out Saturday
White (shoulder) is not in the lineup Saturday against the Angels.
According to Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle, the MRI on the 24-year-old's right shoulder came back clean, and he may be available off the bench if a pregame workout goes well. It appears White avoided a serious injury, and he should be considered day-to-day. Jose Marmolejos is starting at first base Saturday for Seattle.

Mariners' Evan White: Gets MRI on shoulder
White received an MRI on his sore shoulder Friday but was said to be feeling better and could get back into action soon, the Associated Press reports.
Manager Scott Servais relayed the report on White's condition, confirming the rookie appeared to be making some progress with the shoulder issue that forced him from the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Padres. White has already missed two games, but Servais noted Friday he's hopeful the first baseman will be able to get work in before Saturday's contest and possibly reenter the lineup soon. "He's less worried about it, so still moving in the right direction there," Servais said.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Won't debut in 2020
General manager Al Avila implied that Torkelson will not make his big-league debut in 2020, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
This isn't all too surprising, as the Tigers have no reason to rush their 2020 No. 1 overall pick to the majors. In the meantime, he'll continue his development at the team's alternate camp site.
