JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Miami Marlins pitching prospect Thomas White is expected to miss three to four weeks with a right oblique strain.
“He’s a great kid. He’s handled everything very well, good head on his shoulders,” manager Clayton McCullough . “Unfortunate that he’s just going to miss some development time here in the early part of the season.”
McCullough said the 21-year-old White felt discomfort when he pitched Thursday against Toronto.
White is ranked as baseball’s No. 17 prospect — and No. 1 among left-handed pitchers — by . He went 4-3 with a 2.31 ERA last year across three levels of the minors.
