The 31-year-old outfielder drove up Freddy Peralta’s pitch count in his first at-bat, seeing 11 pitches and fouling off four full-count offerings before popping out to second base. He then got the Braves on the board with a 407-foot (106.5 mph EV) solo shot in the fourth inning. White also smacked a two-out double off of Nick Mears in the sixth inning but the Braves were unable to cash him in. With his two-hit night, White is now hitting .254/.294/.421 with seven homers, 25 RBI and seven swipes in 220 plate appearances on the season.

White’s first home run was a 411-foot blast that left the bat at 109.6 mph, and he followed that up five innings later with a 413-foot shot that left the bat at 106.8 mph. His bat speed on that last one was 80 mph, which shows that there is certainly some power potential in White’s bat. The 31-year-old will be the regular right fielder until Ronald Acuña Jr. (calf) returns, and could have value in deeper formats.

With Ronald Acuña Jr. (Achilles) landing on the IL, it will be White who gets the first shot to replace him in the lineup. The 31-year-old has some speed and put together some weeks of fantasy goodness earlier in the year, but he is not a recommended option in most fantasy leagues.

White draws his second straight start in center field on Sunday afternoon in place of Michael Harris II with lefty Ranger Suárez taking the ball for Philadelphia. The 31-year-old outfielder can be safely ignored in most fantasy formats, but it’s notable that he’s receiving additional chances against southpaws in recent days with Harris on the bench.

Despite the Braves facing a right-handed pitcher, White is making his second straight start over Alex Verdugo and his third in the last four games. White has slowed down since a hot first month of the season, which likely keeps him off fantasy radars outside of the deepest formats. However, it also seems like Alex Verdugo’s time as a starter in Atlanta is over.

White was probably the worst choice in the Atlanta lineup to hit leadoff tonight, but there he was. He was a righty facing a lefty in Garrett Crochet, but White has hit just .165/.259/.245 in 212 career plate appearances against southpaws. He’s been a fixture in the Atlanta lineup since he had one excellent week last month, but he’s now batting .218/.271/.309 in 60 plate appearances this month. He ought to return to being a seldom-used reserve once Ronald Acuña Jr. returns.
