Gets fourth straight start White will start in center field and bat sixth Sunday against the Twins.

Impact With David Dahl (rib) on the injured list, the Rangers have deployed Willie Calhoun at designated hitter more frequently at designated hitter of late to open up more work in the outfield for White. He'll pick up his fourth start in a row Sunday after going 3-for-12 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk over the previous three contests.

Goes deep twice in loss White went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk Wednesday in a loss to the Astros.

Impact White put the Rangers on the board with a solo shot in the third inning, then launched another solo homer in the seventh. The long balls were the first of his major-league career after going without a homer over 129 plate appearances entering the contest. White has never hit more than 14 homers in a season in the minors, so he isn't likely to become a sudden power threat despite the big game Wednesday.

Moves back to bench White is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Following his promotion from Triple-A Round Rock, White had started the past four games, going 3-for-14 with a pair of doubles, three walks and two runs. Now that Joey Gallo is healthy again after a recent absence due to a groin injury, White will likely fill more of a fourth outfielder/utility role for the Rangers.

Fills in for Gallo White started in right field in place of the injured Joey Gallo (groin) and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Giants.

Impact White made his second straight start since being called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday. With Gallo and David Dahl (ribs, back) both sidelined, there should be at-bats available for White at either corner outfield spot.

Holt walk-off hit for Rangers in 4-3 win over Giants in 11

Called up, starts White started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to the Giants.

Impact White was called up Tuesday after the organization designated Khris Davis for assignment. He began the season on the active roster following a strong spring training but was sent down to Triple-A Round Rock with a .127 batting average. It seems outlandish now, but White won an Opening Day roster spot over Adolis Garcia. With Davis out of the way and David Dahl dealing with rib and back issues, White and Jason Martin could be in line for regular work in left field and/or DH.

Khris Davis DFA'd by Rangers, who want look at young players

Veteran slugger Khris Davis has been designated for assignment by the slumping Texas Rangers

JUNE 8, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Recalled by Rangers White was recalled by the Rangers on Tuesday.

Impact White began the year on the Opening Day roster but didn't hit well enough to stick around, posting a .127/.200/.164 slash line in 22 games, numbers that came in even worse than the .188/.231/.229 line he produced in his 19-game debut last season. He hit far better in 20 games for Triple-A Round Rock, however, slashing .343/.450/.537, so he'll get another chance in the big leagues. He'll head straight into the starting lineup, batting ninth and playing left field Tuesday against the Giants. Khris Davis was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Back with big club The Rangers recalled White from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Sam Blum of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact One day after being optioned to the minors, White will get the call back to Texas after the Rangers moved starting pitcher Kohei Arihara (finger) to the 10-day injured list. The versatile White will give Texas a useful weapon off the bench ahead of the Rangers' two-game set in a National League park in San Francisco to begin the upcoming week, but his stay with the big club might not last much longer than that series.

Optioned to Triple-A White was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Impact White will officially be removed from the major-league roster after Khris Davis (quadriceps) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. White appeared in 20 games to begin the season and posted a .364 OPS with four RBI and two stolen bases.

MAY 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Roster spot in jeopardy White could lose his roster spot when the Rangers activate Khris Davis (quadriceps) this weekend, Sam Blum of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The Rangers have not indicated a corresponding move to clear a roster spot, but manager Chris Woodward said he'd prefer to keep 14 pitchers on the roster. That suggests a position player will be trimmed, and White, who has a .364 OPS, is the most likely candidate. Further signaling that White will be optioned is that Woodward feels David Dahl and Joey Gallo can play center field, White's primary position.
