MOVES: Gwinnett places Benson, Wang on DL. Alex White assigned to Gwinnett (pitched Saturday).
White was just released by the Houston Astros and the Braves scooped him up only days after. The 26-year-old is a former top 100 prospect, but has fallen off the radar in recent years Alex White had Tommy John surgery in 2013. Add him to the list of Braves pitchers who have had this surgery.
He was drafted in the 1st round of the 2009 MLB draft by the Cleveland Indians out of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The 6’3″, 220 pitcher pitched in the major leagues in 2011 and 2012 with the Indians and the Colorado Rockies.
He has a career record of 5-13 with a 6.03 ERA in his two seasons in the majors as a starter. In the minors, he’s pitched as a starter and a relief pitcher. The Braves could potentially see him as bullpen help. He was 1-5, 5.57 in seven starts for Class AAA Fresno.
