Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Eli White was placed on the 7-day injured list on May 11, 2026, after suffering a concussion during Sunday's game against the Dodgers. White made a spectacular catch to rob Max Muncy of an extra-base hit but crashed face-first into the padded outfield wall. He temporarily remained in the contest but was replaced in the field in the eighth inning. His timetable for return is uncertain, as is typical with concussion injuries. Mauricio Dubon will see increased playing time in the outfield while White recuperates.
