Mitch White - In line to fill rotation openingDodgers manager Dave Roberts said White will be called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to either start or serve as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen in Thursday's series finale i...
ImpactRegardless of how he's deployed, White will cover the bulk of the innings and is thus the most likely Dodgers pitcher to factor into any decision. With Trevor Bauer on administrative leave, the newly signed Cole Hamels requiring more time in the minors to build up his pitch count, and all of Tony Gonsolin (shoulder), Clayton Kershaw (forearm) and Danny Duffy (forearm) on the injured list, the Dodgers don't have many options on the 40-man roster capable of filling the fifth spot in the rotation. With that in mind, White could be in store for additional starts or outings a primary pitcher beyond Thursday.
