Scratched with elbow issue White was scratched from Wednesday's lineup with tightness in his right elbow.
Steals bag in win White started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Mariners.
Impact White is one of three Texas outfielders in the mix for two starting spots since the organization traded Joey Gallo. He, David Dahl and Jason Martin are rotating into whatever positions are not occupied by Adolis Garcia. It's unclear if the 27-year-old Dahl, who is working on a one-year deal, is in the team's plans for 2022, but neither White nor Martin have earned everyday jobs. White finished the month of July with a .145 average and .548 OPS.

Bats leadoff for first time White batted leadoff and went 0-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Mariners.
Impact This was the first time batting leadoff this season for White, who has been one of the Rangers' most consistent hitters since mid-June. The outfielder has an .856 OPS with four home runs and eight RBI over the last 16 games. Texas manager Chris Woodward likes his plate approach, along with the speed and power he brings. "I like the quality he's showing right now," Woodward told Doug Drawley of the Dallas Morning News about the rookie outfielder. "Having all three of those things - he's one of the fastest guys in the major leagues, he's got pop, he walks - that's pretty dynamic." Isiah Kiner-Falefa has been the primary leadoff bat while Woodward has auditioned others throughout the season. He's been pressing of late (6-for-44, .136), so the manager decided to take some pressure off him and used White atop the lineup.

Creates lone run in loss White went 2-for-3, was hit by a pitch and scored a run in Thursday's 5-1 loss to Oakland.
Impact White generated the Rangers' lone run when he was hit by a pitch, took two bases on a wild pitch, then came home on Willie Calhoun's groundout. He slotted into the five hole for the first time this season, an indication of manager Chris Woodward's confidence in White, who has started eight straight games and is 11-for-30 with three home runs and eight runs scored during that stretch. "He just looks really good right now," Woodward told Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News, when discussing White's approach. "I want to reward these guys, but it's more of a consistency thing than just saying 'Hey, you had a good game, go hit fifth.' His at-bat quality was good when he didn't get hits. He's pressuring opposing pitchers. That's what we're looking for." White, who made the Opening Day roster but was sent down to Triple-A Round Rock on May 13 with a .127 batting average, appears to have a stable home in Texas' starting lineup. He's been a different hitter since rejoining the Rangers, something he attributed to regaining his confidence while in the minors.

Continues to impress White went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Oakland.
Impact White, who was sent down to the minors with a .127 batting average on May 13, looks like a new man since rejoining the major-league roster. Since his callup, White is slashing .293/.370/.585 with three home runs, three doubles, four RBI and nine runs over 12 games. It will be interesting to see how the Rangers handle David Dahl (ribs), currently on rehab assignment, when he's ready to rejoin the team.
