Swipes bag, scores in win White entered as a pinch runner, stole a base and scored the game-winning run in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Phillies.

Impact White ran for Mitch Garver in the 10th, and the steal put him in position to score the second run on a Brad Miller single. He opened the season as the fifth outfielder and now is one of six on the team. That means his playing time is limited to spot starts, defensive replacements, and pinch running or hitting. When he does start, he's often replaced midgame by a lefty-hitter. Through 16 games, White has just 22 plate appearances but does have three steals, tied for second on the team.

Starts against RHP White started in center field and went 1-for-1 with a walk, a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Texas manager Chris Woodward loaded up the lineup with righty-batters against Seattle's left-handed ace Robbie Ray. As such, White manned center field for the third time this season, while Adolis Garcia shifted to right field in place of Kole Calhoun. The stolen base was his second, but it remains to be seen if he can be a healthy contributor in that category as a platoon outfielder against lefties. He showed some speed in the minors -- 59 stolen bases in 444 career games -- but White's opportunities will be minimized in his current role.

Secures roster spot White will be on the Rangers' Opening Day roster, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Expectations when White reported to camp were that he wouldn't be ready for Opening Day as he worked his way back from September elbow surgery. He wound up recovering ahead of schedule and earned a spot after posting an .886 OPS in nine spring games. While he's managed to secure a roster spot, he won't necessarily see much playing time, as he's a career .179/.254/.293 hitter in 83 major-league games.

Goes yard Friday White went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's spring training game against the Royals.

Impact White walloped his second Cactus League homer in the first inning, one of three long balls hit by the team in support of starter Dane Dunning. The outfielder has launched home runs in each of his last two spring games and continued to showcase a new swing path. Friday's long ball went opposite field while his first one went out to center field. So far, so good with the new swing.

Playing outfield Friday White (elbow) is scheduled to play the outfield in Friday's Cactus League game, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

Impact White has been seeing action as the designated hitter and is now set to see his first time in the outfield this spring. The 27-year-old is returning from elbow surgery in September and wasn't expected to be ready for Opening Day at the start of camp, but his ability to play the outfield could signal he'll receive full clearance sooner rather than later.

Homers Tuesday White (elbow) went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's spring training game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact White served as the designated hitter for the second time this spring, as the elbow injury prevents him from lining up in the field at this time. He drove a curveball from Madison Bumgarner over the fence in center field, showing off the new swing that's been the early talk in camp, per Levi Weaver of The Athletic. Texas hitting coach Donnie Eckler has been impressed, though he said it's too early to tell if White's offseason swing-path adjustments have "stuck."

Shows off new swing White (elbow) went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored Friday's spring game against the Royals.

Impact White served as the designated hitter and will likely continue to do so, as he strengthens the elbow for throwing. The game action was a chance for the righty hitter to unveil his new swing, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. "I'm trying to stay through the ball more and not so much rotational like around the ball," White said. The goal is reduce the frequency of batted balls that are pulled and direct more hits to center and right field. A one-time prospect, the 27-year-old White hasn't done much against big-league pitching since making his debut in 2020, owing a career .179/.254/.293 slash line. He is not expected to be ready for Opening Day.

Hitting in spring game White (elbow) will serve as the designated hitter for Friday's spring game against the Royals.

Impact White underwent elbow surgery in September and isn't expected to be ready for Opening Day. He's been able to hit in batting practice, however, and he's apparently also able to hit in games, but it will still be some time before he's ready to take the field.

MARCH 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected for Opening Day White is not expected to be ready for Opening Day due to the elbow surgery that ended his 2021 season early, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact White underwent surgery in September, and his rehab progressed well during the lockout. He recently started throwing to bases March 14 and appears to be back sooner than expected. Landry's report targets a late April return for the outfielder, but the takeaway should be that he could be rostered in the majors when he returns. White should be in the mix to start in left field once back to full health

Rangers' Eli White looks like a different player this spring — literally and figuratively "If this swing takes shape, he's got the highest ceiling, I think, in our organization," manager Chris Woodward said.

'It Was a Different Swing': Eli White Turning Heads Early in Rangers Spring Training Eli White has been turning some heads early in Texas Rangers camp, sporting a new beard and a new swing.

Puts on show in batting practice White (elbow) hit three home runs during his batting practice session Monday at the Rangers' spring camp, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact White never displayed much power over parts of two seasons in the majors and none of his stops in the minors, so the home-run display in batting practice can probably be taken with a grain of salt. More importantly, however, White looks to be healthy again after his 2021 season came to an end in early August, when he suffered a right elbow strain that later required an internal brace surgery. The 27-year-old will likely be competing for a utility role on the Rangers' Opening Day roster.
