Marlins Prospect White Eyes Return After Injury
4 Apr
Summary
- Thomas White, Marlins' top prospect, returned to the mound on rehab assignment.
- He pitched 2.1 innings, allowing two earned runs and striking out four.
- White aims to rejoin Triple-A Jacksonville after recovering from an oblique strain.
Miami Marlins' highly touted pitching prospect, Thomas White, is progressing in his recovery from a right oblique strain sustained early in spring training. The left-hander, ranked as the top prospect in Miami and 15th overall in baseball, recently pitched 2.1 innings during a rehab assignment for Class-A Jupiter.
During his outing, White threw 44 pitches, surrendered two earned runs on two hits, issued one walk, and recorded four strikeouts. Despite taking the loss, his return marks a significant step toward rejoining Triple-A Jacksonville, where he finished the previous season. White aims to follow a normal build-up schedule to monitor his progress closely.
White has a history of impressive performances in the minors, including a 2.31 ERA in 22 starts at Triple-A Jacksonville in 2025 and a 2.81 ERA in 96 innings in 2024. His exceptional strikeout rates, particularly his 14.6 strikeouts per nine innings last year, set him apart as a premier left-handed pitching talent. The Marlins drafted White 35th overall in the 2023 MLB draft, and at 21 years old, he could potentially impact the major league team later this season.
