Sitting again versus righty White is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Impact After he was on the bench for Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners while right-hander George Kirby was on the mound for Seattle, White will take a seat against another righty (Cal Quantrill) in the series opener with the Guardians. The 27-year-old looks as though he'll be moving into more of a part-time role after slashing an underwhelming .195/.271/.273 in 30 games dating back to May 1. Steele Walker will pick up another start in left field in place of White, and the two players could end up settling into a platoon at the position.

Swipes bag as pinch runner White stole a base as a pinch runner in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

Impact White ran for Nathaniel Lowe after the latter hit a single in the ninth inning. The 27-year-old White didn't stay in the game after that, with Sam Huff instead entering as a defensive replacement at first base. White is now 10-for-11 in stolen base attempts this year. The speedy outfielder has added a .204/.282/.290 slash line with two home runs, seven RBI, 14 runs scored and a pair of doubles this year while competing for playing time primarily in left field and center field lately.

On bench Thursday White is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Rays.

Impact White will take a seat after starting six consecutive games, going 6-for-20 with a homer, two RBI, two runs and stolen base in those contests. He'll be replaced in left field by Zach Reks, who will bat eighth.

Steals base in win White went 2-for-3 with a stolen base in a 3-0 win Tuesday over Tampa Bay.

Impact White stole his ninth base of the season when he swiped second base in the fifth innings. On the very next pitch, he was nabbed trying to steal third base. Following a 1-for-28 streak, the outfielder has multiple hits in consecutive games. Tuesday was just the second start in May where he did not strike out, lowering his strikeout rate to 35.5 percent for the year.

Homers in three-hit effort White went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 9-5 win over the Rays.

Impact White went yard in the second inning off Rays starter Drew Rasmussen, while his other two hits in the game were singles. He also robbed Ji-Man Choi of a three-run homer, leaping over the left-center field fence. Prior to Monday, White was 0-for-10 in his last four games. The outfielder is up to a .200/.289/.300 slash line with two homers, seven RBI, 14 runs scored and eight stolen bases through 90 plate appearances. He should be in line for more stable playing time with Brad Miller (hip) going on the injured list Monday.

Not starting Tuesday White will be on the bench Tuesday against the Angels.

Impact White finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games. He plays good defense and has already stolen eight bases, but his .194/.296/.274 slash line is a tough fit for a starting corner outfielder, and his 38.0 percent strikeout rate suggests things are unlikely to change any time soon. Brad Miller will get the start in left field.

On bench Saturday White will sit Saturday against the Astros.

Impact White has emerged as the Rangers' primary left fielder, and his hold on the role seems to have tightened after Nick Solak was optioned Thursday. White will have to improve at the plate to have a truly secure spot, however, as he's hitting just .207/.313/.293 on the year. Brad Miller will be the left fielder Saturday.

Scores on little league homer White went 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Angels.

Impact White had the signature hit of the Rangers' seven-run eighth inning. After striking out the first four times up, White came up with the bases loaded and singled to left field, which was misplayed by Brandon Marsh. That allowed all three baserunners to score, and the speedy White to race around the bases for a "little league" home run. White has started nine of the last 10 games and most notably stole five bases during that run. He's hitting a career-best .250 over 48 at-bats, but that is tempered by a .393 BABIP and a .190 XBA.

Steals base, drives in two White went 2-for-5 with two RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 7-4 win over the Angels.

Impact All of White's production came during the Rangers' six-run first inning. He singled, stole second and scored a run before knocking a two-run single in his second at-bat of the inning. He tried stealing another base but was foiled multiple times by foul balls during Marcus Semian's 11-pitch at-bat. White improved his slash line to .256/.373/.372 with eight steals, including five over his last six appearances.

Moves into everyday role White will serve as the Rangers' leadoff man and starting left fielder in Monday's game against the Angels.

Impact White has now handled leadoff duties for three straight games, with the last two of those assignments coming against right-handed pitching. The 27-year-old has mostly handled a short-side platoon role for Texas this season, but he appears to have at least temporarily captured regular at-bats against right-handed pitching at the expense of Nick Solak, who is on the bench for the second straight contest. With a 7-for-7 success rate on stolen-base attempts this season, White looks like he'll be a plus source for steals while he's receiving steady playing time.

Keeps running White batted leadoff and went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 11-3 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Leading off for the first time this season, White reached base on a first-inning error by Trevor Story and made Boston's second baseman pay for that transgression. White stole second and third base and came home on Corey Seager's single. It was the fourth steal in the last four games for White, who leads the team with seven swipes over 42 plate appearances. Prior to Saturday's start, White never batted higher than sixth and spent most of his time in the nine hole.

Leads team in steals White started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 3-1 win over Kansas City.

Impact White started for just the 12th time in 30 games but leads the Rangers with five steals over 38 plate appearances. There could more chances coming. Thursday's start was the fifth in the last six games for White, who is often been pinch hit for later in games but has played a full nine innings in the last four contests. The 27-year-old righty-hitter, who has a history of double-digit steals in the minors, typically plays center field against left-handers or spots in at left field when Brad Miller starts at third base.

Walks, steals base White went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a 6-4 win Tuesday over Kansas City.

Impact White walked and stole second base as part of a double-steal in the sixth inning. He is 4-for-4 on stolen base attempts on the season. After hitting .179/.254/.293 in his first two big-league seasons, the 28-year-old is off to a very good start with a .269/.387/.462 batting line in a part-time role. Despite his success at the plate, he's hit ninth in the order in all of his starts.
