The blast was the second of his career and first since July 27. Of White's nine hits this season, five have gone for extra bases (two home runs, three doubles).

In extended slump White went 1-for-4 with an RBI ground-rule double in a win over the Angels on Wednesday, striking out in his other three plate appearances. He's now 1-for-18 with 10 strikeouts acr...
Impact White's seventh-inning two-bagger Wednesday broke the 0-for-17 slump he'd opened the month with, a skid that's helped lead to a .125/.208/.229 season line. The rookie has only three extra-base hits (two doubles, one home run) on the campaign, and his mammoth 43.4 percent strikeout rate is naturally a major culprit in his struggles. With the Mariners' in a rebuilding mode, manager Scott Servais is still likely to give White a chance to continue working his way through his slump, especially considering the upside the 24-year-old demonstrated throughout his minor-league career, as well as the fact he's still adjusting to big-league arms after only having logged 18 plate appearances at the Triple-A level.

Blasts two-run homer White went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and three strikeouts in Monday's 8-5 loss to the Astros.
Impact White took Astros starter Josh James deep in the third inning to spot the Mariners to a short-lived 3-0 lead. White has been boom or bust so far in 2020, with nine strikeouts in 18 plate appearances. The 24-year-old has still seen all the starts at first base and appears to be the favorite for playing time at that position.

Continues mashing Saturday White went 2-for-2 with a single and ground-rule double in Saturday's intrasquad game, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
Impact The strong showing is an extension of what has been a highly productive summer camp on White's part by all accounts. The rookie everyday first baseman will be looking to carry over the momentum from his impressive performance at Double-A Arkansas last season -- during which he slashed .293/.350/.488 with 33 extra-base hits (13 doubles, two triples, 18 home runs) and 55 RBI -- into his first big-league campaign.

Impressive in final tune-up Gonzales, the Mariners' Opening Day starter, was impressive over his four-inning start in Saturday's intrasquad game, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. "I feel ready to g...
Impact The southpaw allowed two runs on five hits and a wild pitch while recording three strikeouts, but he arguably performed even better than the line indicates. Drayer reports the first run was partly manufactured by a Mallex Smith popup bunt, with the speedy outfielder subsequently advancing on Gonzales' errant offering. Gonzales also didn't allow much hard contact outside of a double he surrendered to Evan White, and he was efficient enough to reach his 50-pitch limit across four frames instead of three. It remains to be seen how long Gonzales will be allowed to go Opening Day against the Astros, but with manager Scott Servais planning a six-man rotation, it's likely his workload will be relatively abbreviated.

Launches homer off Kikuchi White hit his first home run of summer camp off Yusei Kikuchi in Tuesday's intrasquad game, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
Impact The starting first baseman launched his round tripper in the first inning off the left-hander, breaking the long-ball ice more than a week into camp. White had already made a strong impression with his bat before spring training was suspended by hitting .333 across eight exhibitions, and he'll have a chance to continue ramping up for his first season as a full-time starter over the next week-plus.
